    “Quiet Love & Growing It” is a refreshing, transformative approach to relationships that deeply resonated with me. Unlike the typical fairy tale notions of “happily ever after,” this book is all about crafting a real, resilient love that stands the test of time, and it’s packed with insights that are both practical and profoundly wise.

    The 14 rules are thoughtfully crafted, each one shedding light on a crucial aspect of building and sustaining a meaningful relationship. I especially appreciated the self reliance rule; it’s a reminder to start with inner strength before seeking it in another person. The book’s focus on accountability, gratitude, and shared meaning offers real strategies that go beyond superficial advice, making it feel like a roadmap to authentic happiness rather than a fleeting romance.

    What sets this book apart is its honest, grounded approach to love. Relationships aren’t portrayed as magically flawless but as deeply rewarding if cultivated with care, patience, and respect. The writing combines relatable anecdotes, science backed explanations, and actionable advice, making complex ideas accessible and easy to implement.

    If you’re looking to escape the unrealistic expectations of social media love stories and find something genuine, this book is an incredible resource. Whether you’re just beginning a relationship, or years into marriage, “Quiet Love & Growing It” offers something meaningful and lasting for everyone.

    This is one of the most valuable books I have ever read. Key insights underlying this book: Love is never perfect and “True love comes quietly without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked.” This is to say, proceed slowly. Get to know and appreciate each other. Celebrate the beauty of each day rather than strive for flashy moments. Fall in love quietly overtime. The author distills immense life wisdom into 14 rules: These have intriguing titles such as: The Self-Reliance Rule, The Butterfly Rule, The Chemistry Rule, the Fight-Right Rule, and The Tomorrow Rule. Other rules concern ritual, balance, accountability, gratitude, change, etc. This book is a river of true, super helpful, absolutely wonderful insights into relationships!

  • Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2024
    In a world where love is often seen as a magical many find themselves facing unrealistic expectations and shallow connections. The author, Hess challenges these notions by introducing the concept of “quiet love”—a simple, observant, and action-based approach to nurturing relationships. Hess explains how love is not just a feeling or attraction but a series of selfless actions that improve the life of someone you care about. Hess tries to eliminate the myth of “love at first sight” and emphasizes the importance of growth and effort in each and every love relationship. This book targets all of the right attitudes to try to have in a loving relationship. My mother told me "Love is the Answer" shortly before she passed away from a stroke. I really appreciate this book and will recommend it to everyone.

    Matthew Hess' "Quite Love (& Growing It)" decodes love from a completely different perspective. In the usual cacophony of definitions of love, this book unravels the real meaning of love. I eagerly anticipated each chapter as the author deconstructed the commonly held notion of love.
