There are a handful of couples I know, who I stare at in amazement whenever they're around, and wonder exactly how they do it.

After years, sometimes even decades together, they still giggle at each other's jokes, stare lovingly into each other's eyes, and incessantly hug, hold hands and cuddle.

For the mere mortals among us, life ain't so easy. Irritability, boredom and jealousy seem to get in the way of this eternal bliss. And while I'd love to believe that it's just a matter of meeting the right person, I guess sometimes we all could use some advice when it comes to love. Which is why this book is so useful.

Based on a set of principles that aim to form and sustain strong, enduring relationships it offers practical, useful advice written in a clear, succinct manner. The best part, in my opinion, is that it also offers advice for finding love, leaving love, and maintaining strong friendships.
