Editorial Reviews
Review
'The strength of this title is that it gently offers polite advice rather than resorting to the lecturing and victim mentality of some other self-help books. So instead of feeling you are visiting a rather cold and aggressive shrink, it makes you feel you are settling down in front of a warm fire with a wise couple who are only too happy to offer you the secret of their success' (Time Out )

Customer Reviews
Good reminder of how to take care of your love
This book contains mostly just common sense advice and pointers for keeping the loving connection. Not that that's bad. It's simple, but relevant thoughts to help you develop or keep a deep loving relationship to your partner. And this is just what most people need. Nothing big, nothing sensational. There's no Wow-feeling when you read the 100 short chapters, but maybe just what you need when there's a lot going on and you need to remember that having a satisfying relationship actually requires some time and effort. And this is why this is a good book for everyone, men and women in every stages of life.
