The level of honesty and intimacy it has brought to our relationship has changed the way we relate to each other. We were definitely headed for tolerating the conspiracies we had become so accustomed to settling for. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have real friends who will risk for the sake of the other! Dan and Eileen are dear friends who we have come to know intimately. I so appreciate the authenticity in their relationship! What courage is being continually restored in me to interrupt the "status quo" as I read Dan's new book- US! Refreshing and convicting!

Having been married almost 15 years, we have experienced Daniel Tocchini as a coach through his work and personally in life. We can attest to the fact that this book and it's author are the real deal. Dan and Aileen truly put into action the beliefs and commitments written about in this manual. US is a book that we already recommend and will continue to recommend to newlyweds, those married for decades and those planning to get married; those whose marriages are healthy and those who are hurting. We are so grateful to Dan for putting into words something that this current culture needs and that will have lasting effects for the future generations.

He has dared me to listen rather than defend, (a somtimes painful exercise he learned at the hands of unexpected opposition) and invited me to explore the possibility of standing firm in love as life's trials persist.

These culminated, in Dan becoming a cherished friend to all of us. His marriage counseling enabled my wife and I, to finally make a frank assessment of our relationship. We were after all these years now capable of acutely hearing each other. His probing questions compelled us to focus on the systemic problems in our marriage. During these painful and sensitive sessions Dan was compassionate, forgiving, giving, but above all an individual of integrity. My wife especially appreciated his counsel, as he assisted her in gaining a voice to speak and to speak powerfully. It was inordinately beneficial to her. In my personal counseling with Dan, he was patient, straightforward and also impelled me to finally face my issues. What is so profound is that Dan is not directive in his counsel, which would presuppose a bias but rather he is so incisive and gentle in his ability to bring lucidity and definition to our thoughts and emotions. The net, all our final decisions become OUR decisions. His insight into the human condition is brilliant.

I have personally known Dan Tocchini for 17 years. He is one of the most honest people I have ever met. Noone has helped me more in my work as a psychologist, in my goal to be a great mother, than Dan Tocchini. The two areas he has helped me the most in is becoming less selfish and keeping my promises. I highly recommend this beautiful marriage book and it's author, Daniel Tocchini. This is the best book on marriage I have ever come across.

The Tocchini fan's are piling in. I love it and have been touched by his supporters! I forgot to mention in my review how honest he is. You are right! This is by far the best outpouring of love to an author that I have thus far seen. Thank you for visiting and thank you for your comments! This is great! The Tocchini fan’s are piling in.

We are newlyweds and I can not tell you how much the book 'US' has helped us with communication, intimacy, and vulnerablity with one another. I know Dan Tocchini personally and he has counseled my husband and I for three years and I believe that if it wasn't for his help and dedication, we would not be married right now. Dan Tocchini's whole life is a testimony and I love how honest he is about his past and his ups and downs in his marriage! If anyone wants more depth in their relationship with their spouse and with God, then don't hesitate, buy "Us" right away! US has been an amazing tool for my husband and I.
