A fresh approach to matters of the heart, teaching us that success in love need never again be just a matter of luck.

Love has a history and we ride - sometimes rather helplessly - on its currents. Since around 1750, we have been living in a highly distinctive era in the history of love that we can call Romanticism. And it has been a disaster for love.

Relationships challenges the assumptions of the Romantic view of love. It shows how to develop new attitudes that can lead to a psychologically mature vision of love:

That it is okay that love and sex may not always belong together
That discussing money early on, in a serious way, is not a betrayal of love
That realizing that we are rather flawed, and our partner is too, is of huge benefit to a couple
That we will never find everything we need in another person, nor they in us
That spending two hours discussing whether bathroom towels should be hung up or can be left on the floor has its own dignity

Full of applied real-life examples, and enlivened throughout with humor and cultural anecdote, this innovative guide paves the way to a new, brighter future for love.

I totally agree. Since a recent break-up, I've been trying to learn as much as possible about myself and how to love or be in a happy and healthy relationship. I've been analyzing a lot too, and many of the points mentioned I already knew and was living by. But others, mainly ways of thinking and where those thoughts stem from, I did not yet consider. This book, as well as card decks such as Whom Should I Be With, Stay or Leave and Know Yourself, and Youtube videos have helped me immensely, and given me a deep peace in knowing that I can by myself, even for ever, and that's totally alright.

With love and kindness,
