Publisher's summary

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.

I need to improve on my emotional connections!

This book does a great job of covering the key principles you need to focus on in order to keep the love of your life. The part that I found to be the most intriguing was the information on emotional connection. I didn’t realize that this was what holding me back the most when it came to my relationships.

Keeping the Love Strong!

Quiet Love is a refreshing departure from the typical self-help relationship books. It doesn't promise quick fixes or grand romantic gestures. Instead, it offers a thoughtful, practical guide to building a lasting, loving relationship.

The author skillfully dissects the core principles of a strong bond: communication, emotional intimacy, and shared experiences. By focusing on these fundamental elements, the book encourages readers to cultivate a deeper, more meaningful connection with their partners.

What sets this book apart is its emphasis on quiet, everyday actions. It teaches us that true love isn't about grand declarations or extravagant gifts; it's about the small, consistent acts of kindness, understanding, and support.

Whether you're in a long-term relationship or seeking to improve your current one, Quiet Love provides invaluable insights. It's a gentle reminder that lasting love is not a destination but a journey, one that requires patience, effort, and unwavering commitment.

Great Guide to a Stronger Relationship

I loved this book! The 14 rules are all so useful and have already helped me become a better listener to my partner. Trauma and old patterns affecting and hurting your relationships are a real thing and this book has enabled my partner and I to get through a lot of the things we used to get hung up on. We're now committed to continuing using the concepts in this book and we're closer than ever.

This book takes a refreshing approach, focusing on nurturing relationships that flourish through subtle, meaningful gestures rather than grand displays. It emphasizes the importance of presence, patience, and genuine care in building bonds that last.

One of the book’s strengths is its gentle, introspective tone.

A Thoughtful Guide for Love That Lasts

In a world filled with stories of instant sparks and over-the-top romantic gestures, Hess brings us back to the basics. He introduces “quiet love” as a form of connection that’s built through everyday kindness and a steady dedication to another person’s happiness. I found myself rethinking how I approach love—not as an all-consuming passion but as something more meaningful and enduring. He’s realistic about the ups and downs, debunking the myth of “love at first sight” and shifting the focus toward developing and growing a bond over time.

The 14 rules he shares are a mix of profound insights and practical actions. For example, he emphasizes the importance of being observant of your partner’s needs and consistently showing up for them, which resonated deeply with me. These aren’t grand gestures but small, meaningful ways to keep the relationship alive and thriving. By focusing on growth, effort, and daily acts of caring, this book paints a picture of love as something active, a choice you make every day.

Introspective Listen

I enjoyed listening to Quiet Love and the 14 Rules. The author provided excellent advice on grounding a relationship based on respect, kindness, and shared goals. Focusing on maintaining that connection and nurturing the relationship after the initial attraction and newness wear off is essential to keeping a committed and strong bond. When there is so much chaos and drama, listening to an audiobook that focuses on healthy connections instead of drama is excellent. The narration was gentle and easy to listen to.

A Thoughtful Guide

This is a beautifully insightful audiobook that offers a refreshing perspective on what it takes to build and maintain a deep, meaningful relationship. In a world full of fleeting romances and grand gestures, this book emphasizes the power of quiet, steady love—those everyday moments that truly matter.

The 14 principles presented are practical and relatable, guiding listeners on how to cultivate emotional connection, handle life’s challenges together, and build a relationship that stands the test of time. The insights into emotional connection were particularly eye-opening, and I found myself reflecting on how small, meaningful gestures can have such a big impact.

As someone who values a relationship built on trust and care, I would have loved having a resource like this earlier in life.
