"I don't love you anymore." These simple words have the power to send the listener into shock, denial, and desperation. The obvious response is to ask oneself, "What can I do to win my partner back?" In I Don't Love You Anymore, Dr. David Clarke provides just the battle plan needed.
Contrary to what many relationship "experts" recommend-weak, passive plans that involve begging or romancing a spouse back-Clarke offers an approach that he calls guerilla love, which essentially turns the tables on the wandering spouse. He outlines the biblical view of marriage and instructs readers on:

March 26, 2009: I was so glad someone else believed it was NOT my fault!!! The author is blunt and is no holds barred. Be brave. He means business, and encourages the victim of adultery to mean business too. No more tiptoeing around the subject, living in fear, wondering if I am good enough and trying to be a better wife. This book turned things around for me AND my husband. It spoke the truth and the enormity of what he had done to his wife and family as he read each page. (When it was his turn to read it..that is) And it gave me permission to be angry and to fire questions at my husband, and "pump the well" as the book says. I just shared this book with a friend of mine today, skimmed through some pages with her...and she is going to go buy it too! This book is definately different from the rest. Now I can hold my head up higher! Unfortunately, I have somehow lived through this before. I never fully forgave -and at times, like a pressure cooker, would "blow off steam" about his affair from 4 years earlier. You see, I chose to handle it in a way this book said was common for the well meaning pastors/church to counsel to get through an affair. D. Clarke said it wouldn't work...Guess what? Clarke was right! We had a decaying marriage- and some of that was due to his unconfessed sin, and because of all the junk inside of me that was all bottled up. Not anymore! I feel respected, and so much more in control of the situation. So, I HIGHLY recommend this book. I've tried it BOTH ways. And this way shines the light in the darkness. We are not whole yet, but well on the recovery road like NEVER before.

June 29, 2008: The way Dr. Clarke puts it in perspective is amazing. It may be difficult in the beginning, but he helps you to understand the grieving process. He walks you through each and every stage of a marriage recovering from an affair and it really does work! If you follow what he says, you become a stronger woman for it. You have respect for yourself and you take control of the situation. He puts it like this 'you have to get mad and stay mad 'he teaches you how if you dont already know'. You dont need to worry about losing him. You've already lost him. He needs to be humbled and be desperate to make you happy and salvage your marriage.' I didn't believe the 'honeymoon' stage would ever come. But it did, and like he says, it didnt last. Dr. Clarke is amazingly accurate in this book.
