Arielle Ford

Parts of this book were not to my liking at all. There's an entire chapter that seems to be devoted to your past life and how it interacts with the past life of your partner (or something like that -- I didn't read too much of it before deciding to move on to the next chapter). There's quite a bit of this rather woo-woo stuff that I could've just as easily skipped and never missed. If it were all this way, I would've given it 1 star.

And yet, there were interesting parts too. The anecdotes of show more other couples (the one where a woman decides her husband "sheds" just like her dog particularly comes to mind) were interesting and sometimes insightful. There are a few references to studies that actually have useful insights. For instance, did you know that on average, couples have 9 more or less irreconcilable differences? And the overall message that I gleaned from it -- treat your partner with love and respect, and your relationship will probably do well -- seems on target. (Even if it seems obvious, it never hurts to be reminded at times.)

So in summation, there are some useful and interesting messages in here, but you'll need to skip the hippy-dippy parts at times. show less

Arielle Ford's take on spirituality in relationships, shifting how we see these kinds of problems/issues and the importance of staying heart-focused. Although many people can benefit from her message, I don't think this book can succeed in educating anyone new to these concepts. Ford never really explains the how of these concepts, only offering stories (often from people she knows or who went to her expensive workshops) and just telling you what you should do--which can be very bad show more relationship advice for most people.

Ford's book reads more of her weak attempt at formulating a gimmick and relying on the miraculous relationship stories of herself and her friends (while putting in plugs for them) then writing a book that would be much more valuable--how to develop the necessary relationship skills. show less

A beautiful book filled with inspirational stories from people in all walks of life, warm and uplifting.

I am so pleased to say I interviewed Arielle Ford for my book. She greatly added to the beginning part of the book on what to do to prepare for the relationship of your dreams.

In The Soulmate Secret, Ms. Ford discusses how to bring the person you want into your life by engaging the Law of Attraction. The way it works is that the Universe will bring you those things upon which you focus your attention.

If you focus on why you can't find a good man or woman, you will continue to have difficulty show more because the Universe wants to have what you focus on which is your lack of success in relationships.

Instead you want to take some of the steps I discussed in my article above and read Ms. Ford's book and put her suggestions into action. You too will be well on your way to manifesting your true soulmate. show less
