The Truth About Love: The Highs, the Lows, and How You Can Make It Last Forever

Don't be misled by the somewhat cheesy title or the fact that the author's name is Dr. Patricia LOVE-this is an excellent book that provides a much needed reality check to both married and unmarried couples alike. Whether you're having relationship problems or experiencing smooth sailing with your partner, this book is a highly recommended "must read." Filled with practical advice, The Truth About Love takes an honest look at the nature of love in all it's myriad forms and walks you through and shows you how to cope with the various stages that all relationships go through. Dr. Love shows that true love is truly a lot of work but that it if you're serious about it, it can be one of the most rewarding jobs in life. My boyfriend and I read this a year ago in an effort to better understand one another and to work through some issues we were having-not only did this book relieve some anxieties that we both were experiencing but it brought us closer together. Love is more than a feeling; it's a journey that you take with another person and both of you are active participants in how that journey unfolds. So make the most of it and read this book.

This book is exceptional at explaining in easy to understand form, what real love is all about. I recently went through a tough breakup and was left with no comprehension of what had truly happened. After reading less than 5 pages in this book, I could already relate to everything that was written. Not only is it a great resource for understanding what loving someone is all about, but it illustrates the importance of letting go of our self created image of what love is. Trust me, I thought I knew a lot about love. This book put it in perspective and made me realize that I had a lot to learn. Worth every penny!

Slow beginning, but stick with it. This book was recommended by our marriage counselor and has been an absolute eye-opener and life changer for me. If you’re looking for the why behind the mess your marriage is in... this will help. Moreover, this book gives you some of the understanding you need to navigate marriage and build a strong, satisfying, and healthy relationship.

This book was recommended by a friend who had a counselor that recommended it to her and her finance`. They loved the book, I think the book is okay, but probably more of the same information I've received from other good relationship books. Add it to the pile, but a good pile of reading for help in your relationship. This is more about you and your partner - working through things together.

This is a must read for singles and couples. An eye opener as to why we do the things we do in our relationships with others of the oposite sex.

This book is so informative. My boyfriend and I decided to get it after hearing about it in his sociology class. It really helped us focus on the little things we do for each other and how to make our relationship better than it already is! There are exercises for you and your significant other to do together. Pat Love really opens your eyes and your mind. Great read; I'm reading it again.

good read

What love is and what it isn't. This author wrote 2 more books I must recommend: Hot Monogomy and The Emotional Incest Syndrome. Pat Love is one of the leading researchers we should all read today to understand relationships. These are not new books, but need to be in every library.
