About this book
     Too much of what most of us have learned about how to find and sustain love is misguided and ends in heartbreak. Lasting passionate romance is not the result of luck, chemistry, trial and error, or fleeting emotions. Rather, a successful romance can be yours when you are guided by rational principles, identify the causes of your emotions, and proactively and constantly work on nurturing your relationship. This is explored in depth in The Selfish Path to Romance. (more)

What can the ideas of Ayn Rand teach us about love?
     That the path to true romance begins with the self.

  “My partner means the world to me. I would do anything for him. I want nothing for myself. I want only please him.”
When you first fall in love, the whole world seems to fade into the background. Your lover is center stage. When you’re apart, you intensely long for this person. You imagine being in one another’s arms. You plan wonderful events to surprise or please your partner. You feel complete.
Fast forward 5 years: “I wish he (or she) would give me a break!”
Now married to this same person, you no longer feel complete, you feel . . . (more)
 
           
  Secrets Healthy Couples Use to Resolve Conflict    
  If you hear a couple say “We never fight,” do you raise an eyebrow? Do you assume one partner is a doormat and just gives in to the other, hence no fighting? Or do you think, “Maybe they fight silently, giving each other the cold shoulder for days (or weeks) on end, and never vent.” Perhaps you assume they are lying, pretending to you (and to themselves) that their relationship is “perfect.” . . .
