Commit or Quit The `Two Year Rule` and other Rules for Romance

"This isn't just a relationship self help guide - although every young man should pick it up and read it [...] This book outlines how couples who decide to commit to sticking together are more likely to do so than those who simply slide into an ever more constrained relationship."
Frank Young, Head of Family Policy, Centre for Social Justice

You're in a relationship. Maybe you've been together for a while or you are just starting out. Maybe you're living together or just thinking about it. It seems great. But you want to be sure.

With the decline of marriage, the relationship game has changed. Yet we're still not very sure about how to play it. Moving in together early on has become the new social norm, but it's not risk-free. The nature of cohabitation itself can encourage ambiguity and drift in a promising relationship and make it hard to end an unpromising one.

Accepting that cohabitation is here to stay, Harry Benson offers a roadmap to navigate the ups-and-downs of modern relationships. Drawing on the latest research on relationships and commitment, he introduces the Two-Year Rule and other Rules for Romance that will help couples make the right choices, find the reliable love they seek, and, ultimately, to "commit or quit".
