About the Collection:

I purchased Michael Webb's Relationship Collection to review it for potential customers and to learn from it myself.

As a whole, the collection was very good and has a tremendous potential for helping people at all stages of their relationships. However, as would normally be expected, some items were of higher quality than others. The values assigned to the bonus gifts and over all value of the collection was unreasonably inflated in my opinion and some of the bonus items were either missing or were promotional items and not the actual product, but I will go into that in the review if you read on.

In spite of this, the overall value of the collection can make a positive difference in nearly anybody's life whether they are single, engaged, married, or going through the unfortunate agony of a divorce.

Read on for the reviews and links to these individual products.

1000 Questions for Couples

Eileen and I are working through these questions before we get married next December, and I feel happy whenever I see an order come through for this.

One of the most effective means people use to reduce divorce rates substantially is to increase premarital counseling and going through questions like these -- not just for for filtering out potential bad marriages, but mostly for helping to open lines of communication into new areas.

100 Great Sex Games for Couples

I did not see this in the downloaded files, but when I contacted support, Michael sent this through to me by email. These games are nice for married couples for making sexual activity playful and helping to break down some inhibitions between newlyweds. They would not be appropriate or tasteful between people not yet married but within marriages these games seem to be entirely healthy and tasteful within marriage. Keep in mind that true intimacy cannot be obtained by sexual activity alone. There must be trust and transparency and emotional and spiritual intimacy as well.

500 Lovemaking Tips & Secrets

This suggestions in this book are mostly appropriate only within marriage.
I like Michael Webb's view of the differences between romance and lovemaking. Keep in mind that not all couples are comfortable with all the suggestions, and I'm doubtful I would be comfortable with some of the suggestions even within marriage. Some of the techniques may be helpful, but it is probably more fruitful to focus on the quality of the marriage relationship rather than on specifics of various sexual activities and techniques.

The RoMANtic's Guide
Hundreds of Tips for a Lifetime of Love

Every man could benefit from this e-book tremendously, and every woman should desire her man to read it and learn it well. It can help overcome many problems and prevent them from coming up in marriage.

300 Creative Dates

Have you ever had a time when you knew you wanted to do something fun but did not have any ideas what to do? This e-book can help you get your creative juices flowing in your brain. Great dates do not have to be a movie and a dinner. They don't have to be expensive either.

By the way, these are not just for dating before marriage. Hello? Let these help your marriage in great shape and mutually happy and fun. These can help break up the monotany that sometimes develops in marriage.

The RoMANtic's Guide
to Popping the Question

Hmmmm. I should have bought this earlier. This e-book is written extremely well, and it can help men avoid making blunders when proposing.

Ordinarily when relationships grow out of friendships in a healthy way, proposals often come in such a gradual way it is hard to tell who proposed to who. So, it might be a good idea to think of a proposal as a formalizing of a relationship that is already there. In court, attorneys try not to ask any question they do not already know the answer to, and in proposing, it is best never to pop the question without being fairly sure you know your girlfriend well enough to know that a yes answer will come from it -- especially when proposing publicly.

This e-book covers how to propose properly in a variety of excellent ways, but it also helps you stay out of very dangerous situations common to proposals that could cause you great trouble and hurt your chances of ever getting married to your loved one.

50 Secrets of Blissful Relationships

"What the top 1% of marriages have in common"

This is the first e-book I purchased from Michael Webb. One thing I knew for certain when I read it was that it sure could not hurt. I printed it and the 50 More Secrets book off and put them into a binder so I could take them with me and read it anywhere.

This e-book is one I would recommend either after marriage or during courtship and engagement. Rather than containing creative ideas, dates, and such, this focuses on relationship skills within a romantic relationship.

If you find yourself running into difficulties or boredom or frustration or if you just want to breathe more happiness and excitement into your relationship, read this e-book and its sequel, 50 More Secrets below.

50 More Secrets of Blissful Relationships

This generally comes with 50 Secrets above. I would not say that these two books are the only place where you can get this vital information on how to keep your family happy and healthy for a lifetime, but I would definitely recommend getting these two e-books even if they are the only ones you get.

A Better Way to Date

This e-book by Michael Webb is much more thorough and packed full of more ideas and helps than Wendy Mason's audios on Smart Dating. Unlike the 300 Creative Dates, this e-book is not so much focused on dates for people already in a relationship but more focused on breaking the ice, asking for a date successfully, and developing a relationship in a fun, friendly, safe, and non-threatening way.

Sexy Coupons

I was not fond of these coupons, but some married couples might enjoy using them. Some ideas are contained that some couples might be uncomfortable with, but on the positive side, the spouse printing off the coupons has the option of choosing which ones to include, and the other spouse has the option of choosing which ones to use, so both spouses have to be in agreement and therefore nothing is being forced. Also, several blank coupons are there for creating your own custom coupons.

So, if you're married and this sounds like a fun idea, why not? Just don't feel pressured or obligated to include all the coupons -- just the ones you would like your spouse to use on you.

101 Romantic Ideas

These are absolutely great ideas for couples that are already in a relationship or married. They are not sexual at all, so they're appropriate for relationships that have already crossed over into serious courting, engagement, or marriage.

But, I would strongly caution people against trying these ideas to win the heart of person of the opposite sex who is not already in love with you. It could make that person very uncomfortable or embarassed and ruin your chances or even worse cause people to think you are some kind of stalker.

But, within an established relationship, these ideas can be very endearing and be very helpful in building a good, healthy, happy romantic relationship and for helping you form good habits for marriage.

Hint: When you get married, don't stop using these ideas!

Bonus Gifts

Some of these bonus gifts are great. Some are more advertisement than product.

Love Busters
claimed value $9.95 but only first part

I believe this is probably a very good book, but what comes with the Michael Webb Relationship Collection is just the first part or the first 32 pages about marital abuse followed by several advertisements. This e-book does not get into the six love busters contained in the second part or how to resolve marital conflicts which is contained in the third part. You will have to buy the whole book for those things. For the whole book, click here.

Surviving an Affair
claimed value $9.95 but this is only an introduction with ads

Sadly, this, too, is merely a small introduction followed by several advertisements. Don't buy this collection in order to obtain this e-book. Get this book directly.

His Needs, Her Needs
claimed value $9.95 but this is only an introduction with ads

This is another introduction followed by several advertisements. I did happen to buy this book in hard bound form awhile back and found it to be quite good. However, I question whether the strength of marriages is truly as tied to so-called "needs" as it is to "commitment". In other words, quite often people who leave marriages for extramarital affairs blame their wrongful actions on not getting their needs met, and when people agree with that excuse, they become "enablers". The unfaithful spouse feels vindicated, supported, justified, excused, and ultimately permitted. Often, the cause of an affair is not so much the lack of one spouse's attention to the needs of the other as it is the willingness of society to "enable" the sin encouraging adultery, supporting adultery, defending adultery, befriending adultery, and so on.

However, couples need to know the importance of contributing to the marriage. Notice, I did not say couples need to know the importance of getting someone to lecture to the OTHER spouse to nag them into contributing to the marriage. Nagging is one of the most common of all love busters.

But, on the other hand, there is a walk-away wife syndrome to think about for husbands, and this is where a wife suddenly loses hope of being heard or cared for and stops nagging. Her husband thinks she's feeling better and he's happy, but she has just given up on him, and then one day, suddenly, she has another man and is filing for divorce. Of course the man is to blame for his lack of attentiveness in a sense, but that does not mean the wife is not being a harlot to leave for another man. Not only that, but she has been irresponsible in finding a proper way to communicate her desires and needs to her husband in a non-abusive way that would not tear down his self-esteem and make him feel like a failure so deeply that he cannot possibly listen and maintain sanity.

But, blame casting never produced healthy results. In fact, blame casting and excuse making are powerless strategies. When people do this, they turn their eyes away from things they can and should be doing now to make things better and feel satisfied to let bad things happen because they can always be blamed on someone or something else.

Having said all this, His Needs, Her Needs can help couples understand the differences between men's and women's needs. Too often spouses try to satisfy the other spouse by giving them gifts they would want to receive. But, it's important to keep in mind the desires of the person receiving the gift may not be the same as the desires of the person giving them. For instance, if you're a manly man married to a womanly woman, you probably would not buy your wife a set of power tools as a romantic gift for your anniversary.

But, don't buy this collection with the idea that this whole e-book will come with it. You'll still need to buy that separately.

The Art of Kissing
claimed value $9.95 - entire book is included

I would not consider this e-book a substantial contribution to this collection. Kissing techniques can be helpful in some ways, but the cruxt of the relationship is the relationship itself and not kissing or sexual techniques and such. The e-book is small and written in 1936.

The Divorce and Custody Handbook
claimed value $49.95 - indeed whole book is included

This book is actually quite well written and helpful for those going through a divorce, though I really, really, really hate divorce with a passion. If you are considering getting a divorce, unless your spouse is living in adultery, I would refuse to consider looking at this e-book. However, if your spouse is unfaithful and has no intention of changing or your spouse has decided to divorce you, it might be a good idea to read this book so if you can save yourself a considerable amount of money and grief, you can have help doing so.

Creative Ways to Send Love Letters
claimed value $9.95 - the whole small 15 page book is included

This is an excellent e-book for people already in a romantic relationship, and it can bring spice, laughter, fun, and happy memories into a marriage.

However, as with some other products, I would strongly recommend against using it if you are single and hoping to use these letters to win somebody over.

Keep Your Marriage
What to do when your spouse says, "I don't love you anymore"
claimed value $47

I did not find this e-book anywhere in the files, but upon contacting support, Michael sent it to me in an email.

I would recommend this e-book to a person whose marriage is in trouble but probably not to the point of an affair. The e-book ,a href="http://store.nodivorces.com/break-free-from-the-affair" target="_blank">Break Free From the Affair concentrates specifically on that. This e-book gets you started by asking some key questions and giving some tips to get in the right mind set for getting started saving your marriage effectively.

Love Lessons
claimed value $14.95

I did not find this e-book in the collection.

How To Get What You Want From Your Man Anytime
claimed value $49 - an audio about 1 hour in length

Outlines differences between men and women in goals, direction in life, and such and strategies for understanding how men and women think and work and how they are motivated. This audio is taken from a presentation before a small audience or group. It is a little slow going and serious and not as exciting as the other audios but it covers good material and can be helpful to women in improving their relationships with their men.

Man Woman Relationships Made Easy
claimed value $19.95 - only a partial book with ads

This is a humorous e-book with a lot of wisdom, but it is only a partial book. To get the whole book you will need to purchase it separately, and for that reason I do not consider the suggested value of this e-book reasonable.

Finding the Perfect Mate: Be "The One" First
claimed value $4.95

I did not see this in the files downloaded

Three audio's by Windy Mason $36 value total
15 Mistakes Made on the First Date $12 value
How to Approach Anyone Anywhere $12 value
What Women Want $12 value

I believe these audios are worth their weight in gold if you are hoping to learn interpersonal skills for approaching strangers and setting up a good, healthy, and safe way of dating with total confidence and fun.

I did run into some disagreement with what she had to share. One is the concept of dating strangers. I feel it is best to let relationships grow out of friendships with people who are involved in and committed to the kinds of activities and goals in life you are committed to. Also, Wendy Mason suggested waiting until the 8th date to introduce sexual intimacy in a
relationship. I feel marriages are much more likely to succeed when couples postpone sexual intimacy for marriage. When Wendy gave suggestions for a way to find out if someone is married, I felt a little uneasy with her followup comments after finding someone is married. It seemed a bit flirtatious to me and seemed to give a subliminal hint to one's willingness to consider pursuing a relationship with someone who is already in a relationship even if it is a marriage relationship.

Other than those things, I consider these audios almost a must-have for the single person.

The New Intimacy Quiz
claimed value $25

My fiancee and I went through this quiz together and found it fun and somewhat enlightening. I feel the $25 value is highly inflated, but it was a good quiz that takes only a few minutes to go through.

How To Create Powerful Partnerships

I did not find this in the collection.

Two "Personal Best" Coaching Sessions

I have not used these yet.

Personal Coaching Session: "Planning a Romantic Event"

I have not used this yet.

How To Design and Create Your Ideal Romantic Relationship

I am a little reluctant to recommend this e-book as it is written from the viewpoint of an astrologer with new age overtones. I have not yet read this book in depth enough to give a good review of it.

10 Tips to Put You on Top of the World
claimed value $10.95

This 4 page report is a bit short to justify a $10.95 value, but the ten suggestions included in this report can improve lives, save marriages, and bring happiness into families if these ideas are put into practice.

52 Ways to Boss It or Toss It
claimed value $4.95

This is a one page list of 52 ideas which are quite helpful in organizing your life better. A second page references other resources for personal time and resource management. This list is packed full of simple suggestions that can be put into use to make improvements to your life and family.

Leadership Principles of American Heroes

Emotional Control and Boundaries
claimed value $24.95

Problems with boundaries and emotional control disable people and send them into taking unwise directions in life, and this 9 page report touches on this in an important way. Still, I feel the $24.95 value suggested for this report is heavily inflated. The value of the content in this report is substantial, but if you are buying this collection for this report, I would suggest buying Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend instead as this book covers the subject in much greater depth.

Personal Coaching: "Enhance Your Life"

I have not used this yet

How Do You Know When You're Ready For Love?
claimed value $19.95

This 4 page report helps people identify first, whether you're ready for love, and second, what it takes to get ready for love. I feel the suggested value of $19.95 is highly inflated, but it is a well written paper full of wisdom and worth reading if you happen to buy this collection.

Are You Ready For a Million Dollar Relationship?
claimed value $80 for the four reports from Mari Smith
1--Are you Ready for a Million Dollar Relationship?
2--Are you Ready to Build Wealth?
3--The 3 Stages of Money and Relationships
4--Attraction Venues

These short checklists have great suggestions and by having them in checklist form, it's easy to run a quick assessment of where you are and where you want to go and how far you are along the way.

These reports are for singles looking for a relationship -- not for married couples looking to improve their relationship.

How To Be Wanted For a Lifetime of Nights
and not just a night of a lifetime
claimed value $29

This is a nice e-book on relationships from a Christian perspective focusing on the core values of a Christian marriage. It is not deep and does not go into specifics of premarital preparation or conflict resolution but it does set down some Christian principles for making a marriage happy, healthy, and successful

I feel the value of $29 for this 47 page book is quite inflated personally.

How to Grow a Passionate & Loving Relationship
claimed value $16.95
