I found "THIS IS HOW LOVE WORKS" by Steven Carter to be much better than its cover indicated to me. I glanced at the cover and thought "another how to book with all the supposed answers, and took a quick look at the text inside the book. Instead of finding the usual prescriptions there, I felt excited as I found a challenging journey which encourages me to be myself at the same time as creating relationship with my partner.
While the chapters seemed to end abruptly in stead of flowing from one to the next, each chapter left me left me feeling supported in creating relationship in a workable way - the way both me and my partner want. In stead of being prescriptive (apart from a few basic ground rules), it creates for me an opportunity to create with my partner a greater freedom and intimacy for both of us.

I wish this book would have been written fifty years ago, it has easy-to-read, real-life situational examples and guidelines for partnerships. It surely would have made an enormous impact on my parents' marriage.

Not only will this book identify what you do right, it will make you aware of the unconscious behaviors that can pull partnerships apart.

I've recommended this book to several couples who were experiencing a "separateness", or found themselves growing apart. After reading it, they give it credit for saving their relationships and allowing them to recognize the unhealthy symptoms that pushed them apart.

Considering you can buy this book (used) for under $1, it will be the best money you ever spent if you are looking for answers on how love really works.

Buy this book, you will not regret it.

This book tells you what love truly is about. It's a perfect engagement gift.
