Book Description

Series: Playaway Adult Nonfiction | Publication Date: June 2009

Often we enter into a relationship and say, "I love you," but then wonder, "Now what?" Feeling love for someone is not enough to keep the spark alive. Successful relationships must be based upon a solid foundation that's rooted in a continuous exchange of emotions, ideas, wills, beliefs, actions, reactions, vibrations, thoughts and objectives. Often this can be difficult and complicated to achieve, but I Love You. Now What? offers easy-to-follow methods for enjoying the benefits of a lasting relationship.

Through exploring why we fall in love, reflecting upon the emotional stages we experience and examining issues that can negatively influence our relationships -- including communication, trust and sex -- Mabel reveals how love can not only survive, but thrive. Mabel's clear and thoughtful advice, her exclusive recipes for great sex and fascinating testimonials from her clients will help readers achieve the ultimate joy in life: long, lasting love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book ever!, January 26, 2008

By 

KEB "Karen" (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't (Paperback)

I have read many relationship books, but this is the first one that has really helped me.

I had a difficult home life growing up, and the wounds followed me into my adult life. When I got into relationships I was placing high demands on my partners to fulfill all my emotional needs and make me happy.

Consequently, I still was not happy and my partners suffered too.

I was relieved to find out that "I" was the one that could make me happy, and in order to achieve that happiness "I" needed to grow both spiritually and emotionally.

It's a great book and I think everyone would benefit from reading it, whether they are currently in a relationship or not.

This review is from: I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't (Paperback)

"I Love You Now What? is a lovely book that explores processes and techniques towards creating and maintaining a loving and complete relationship over time. I found this to be particularly relevant after having been married for 26 years, and looking ahead to staying in this relationship for the rest of my life (which is one of the chapters). Mabel Iam shows a real sensitivity and awareness of what makes love work, and addresses it in a warm, beautiful and inviting style that makes the book very pleasant to read. It's divided into two major sections: The first takes a look at building and strengthening love, and the second focuses on sexuality and its part in maintaining love. All of them are broken down into very specific parts that address issues in relationships and techniques. This is a very helpful and beautifully written book, and I'm looking forward to putting it into active use in my life. I'd recommend it to anyone who's in love or wants to be. It will reinforce the things you've done right, point you in new directions and pathways in critical stages of a relationship, and it touches on things you might never have really considered. I'm glad I read it, and you will be, too.
