This
is How Love Works
9
Essential Secrets You Need to Know
By
Steven Carter
How
do you keep love alive? How do you make it grow, intensify, and
strengthen?
How do you overcome the obstacles set up by inertia, carelessness,
and
habit?
In this wise, thoughtful,
and helpful new book, This is How Love Works, Steven
Carter defines the 9
Essential Secrets You Need to Know. As he writes in the
Introduction:
"Relationships are
always moving. Either they are moving
forward in the direction of stronger partnership, or they are losing
ground. There is no magical still point; there is no way to put even
the most powerful love in neutral and coast for a while. This is why
relationships can be so
challenging. And it is why love and
attraction are not always enough to keep two partners happy with
each other.
Perhaps love itself--its
origins, and its power--will always be
a mystery. Why a relationship works or doesn't work, however, is
not a total mystery. It is
only a challenge--a challenge you can
easily meet if you have the
tools."
You may be surprised to hear
that you already possess many of these "tools." It
is a question of remembering
where they are and putting them to use. The 9
Essential
Secrets are these
very tools. These secrets are not ephemeral or hard
to grasp. They are not
exhausting, or complex. On the contrary, they are easily
understood, and easily put
into daily practice. You may be following some of
them instinctively right
now; others can be incorporated with little effort.
Awareness is the key. And
that is what this book is all about.
