Everything about this book was eye opening. After 18 years in law enforcement, the career had started to take its toll. I came across this book after looking for spouse resources. The book is eye-opening and I had so many break throughs as I read. I wish that I had this book 10 years ago when I met by husband. If you are considering purchasing the book, go ahead and get it NOW! I am now going to share it with everyone I know that has a law enforcement husband!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for LEO couples and their therapists!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2022
Verified Purchase
As a licensed therapist I am always on the look out for books that I can share with my clients.; books that resonate with them, but also provide important skills and/or validation in a format that non-clinicians can appreciate. This is one of those books. I have used this in session as a teaching guide (both law enforcement and non law enforcement clients) and had clients read it on their own (and with their partners) as a means of discussion. Cyndi Doyle has accomplished the ultimate in our field. She has written a book that both professionals and clients can utilize and enjoy alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful advice and information for LEO couples
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2023
Verified Purchase
I found myself relieved to learn that I am not alone in my experiences being married to an LEO, and I laughed in a sort of cathartic way at several of her anecdotes. More importantly, I was able to have a series of very short but helpful conversations with my husband after reading it (short, because I learned that he needs that). It has helped us both. As a retired English teacher, I wanted to suggest some revisions and edits along the way, but overall, it is very good.

This book is highly recommended for Law Enforcement and their spouses. The insight this book gives extremely useful! This book helped me understand Law Enforcement personnel and how to adapt. Made my marriage better than ever! Highly Recommended!

P.s. I'm not a person that is paid to write this book. I'm a everyday person, giving factual information.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must-read for all Law Enforcement Wives/Significant Others.

I can’t say enough about this book. Cyndi nailed it when she decided to write a book for the LEO spouses/significant others. By the time I was halfway through the book I had completely changed my perspective and understanding of my husband and his career. We all know that what our LEOS do is difficult, but do we fully understand the emotional and physical toll it takes on them and how we can help them? This book explains it all. Don’t even think it over. But this book immediately and read it.
