The Book

10 NO-HOLDS-BARRED CHAPTERS THAT TELL YOU THE TRUTH ...

  • EXPECTATIONS:

The truth is, when we’re smitten, it’s the magic - the expectation - we’re after... And once we’ve found it, or think we have, we won’t let anything get in its way. Not even reality.

  • RESPECT:

It is not to be assumed that because people say they love each other, they also respect each other. Conversely, the same is true.

  • DEAL BREAKERS:

In a relationship, the other person also has deal breakers and feels strongly about them, too. The trick is trying to figure out—independently of each other and together - which are absolutes, and which are pliable enough to be open to negotiation.

  • LOOK GOOD, AND BE GOOD LOOKING:

When it comes to courtship, bonding and mating, it’s all about strutting your stuff. It’s your very own advertising campaign.

  • MONEY MATTERS:

You may be a good prospect or partner in just about every way for someone, but money-wise, will you be an asset or liability in the relationship? Can you be trusted to make good judgments about money, or are you a financial time bomb looking for somewhere to explode?

  • THAT LOVING FEELING:

There is no reason to settle for a relationship or marriage that sentences you to a life of love deprivation. And there is no shame in admitting that loving and being loved are extremely important to you.

  • WHEN LOVE HURTS:

If any person in a relationship or marriage is not feeling good about it, then the situation cannot be considered a desirable one to be in or stay in.

  • A FINE ROMANCE:

It’s not about how much you love me, but how much I love you. This is the essence of ro-mance.

  • BEING SEXUAL IS HEALING:

Novices go the fast-food route, wanting everything right now; connoisseurs appre-ciate the complexity of a meal and slow down to savor its various flavors.

  • UNDERCOVER LOVE:

Why do people cheat? I have a simple, straightforward answer: People cheat because they want to.

… PLUS, "LOVEWORK" FOR YOU AND YOUR PARTNER!
