About this listen

In a world where love is often seen as a magical, predestined event or a grand gesture, many find themselves facing unrealistic expectations and shallow connections. 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. He debunks the myth of “love at first sight” and emphasizes the importance of growth and effort in sustaining a healthy, long-lasting relationship.

Beautiful reminders of how our actions build up love

This audiobook is a marvelous reminder of how our actions are a huge contributor to creating everlasting love. We many times forget the efforts that we put into the beginning of a relationship and settle down for normality, but that in turn may be perceived as decreased effort after a while. This audiobook goes over ways for us to ensure that we continue to build up how we show love to each other.

Great stuff!

breath of fresh air for anyone looking to deepen their relationship in meaningful, subtle ways. The 14 rules presented are practical and grounded, focusing on the small, everyday acts that build a strong, lasting bond.

It’s a comforting and inspiring guide that reminds you of the power of quiet, purposeful love. Perfect for anyone who values a deep, enduring connection!

A much needed new perspective

The relationship advice space is filled with books on how to handle conflict, recover and heal from anxious or avoidant attachment styles, how to properly find and vet a partner. But little to no attention is given to how to have an actual supportive, healthy relationship. Maybe because so many of us are trying to find a way to fix our relationship patterns that so little is said about healthy ones. This book fills that important gap, and gives us a glimpse of what a healthy, supportive relationship can look and feel like. The focus on small, consistent effort is such a refreshing departure from the usual advice about grand gestures. I am excited to start implementing these tools to help nurture and grow my next relationship.

A very thoughtful guide

A very thoughtful guide on how to create a lasting and strong bond with your partner. The book is separated into 14 principles containing practical advice on relationships and how it is the everyday, simple actions and efforts that result in an everlasting, nurturing relationship. With advice on communication, connection, patience and more, and even knowing when a relationsip has reached its end, there is a lot of gentle advice here no matter what stage of a relationship you are at.

A Practical Approach

Matthew Hess's "Quiet Love (& Growing It)" is a refreshing take on relationships in a world obsessed with grand gestures and instant gratification. Hess encourages readers to shift their focus from fleeting emotions to consistent, intentional actions. I particularly appreciated his emphasis on "quiet love," a concept that celebrates the power of small, thoughtful gestures over dramatic displays.

What sets this book apart is its practical approach. Hess provides clear, actionable steps to nurture and deepen connections. His insights on communication, conflict resolution, and self-improvement are both insightful and empowering. While the book delves into the complexities of love, it maintains a hopeful and optimistic tone. If you're seeking a guide to building lasting, meaningful relationships, "Quiet Love (& Growing It)" is a must-read.
