LOVE SECRETS FOR A LASTING RELATIONSHIP

A psychiatrist and co-author of How to Survive the Loss of a Love presents more than seventy "love secrets" and exercises, highlighted with poetry, to help couples create vibrant, lasting relationships. Reprint.

The author of How to Survive the Loss of a Love offers readers a medley of self-help and poetry in 72 "love secrets" about many aspects of romantic relationships. On a single page such "secrets" as "Your happiness is up to you, not your love partner" (#37) and "Put love first to make passion last" (#64) are followed by bulleted bits of advice and a mental or written exercise. On each facing page is a poem--many are childlike, some charming--by Josefowitz, who teaches social work at San Diego State University. Bloomfield's pedestrian and formulaic, if unexceptionable, advice is much enhanced by the volume's lively format and the appealingly cozy, intimate tone contributed by the poems. 50,000 first printing.
