the store of love and marriage
the deepest intimacy, the highest commitment, the greatest decision
We come to love not by finding a perfect person but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly – Sam Keen
For anyone who is in love, been in love or wants to be. If you are in love, but puzzled by it, Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love will help you understand the puzzle.
If you have been in love, and wondered what happened, you might find the 'what', here. If you want to be, now you will know what to look for. And if you are in love, and everything is fine, you will learn how to keep it that way.
In Hold Me Tight Professor Susan Johnson explains how we are wired for connection; we seek it, and we flourish when we have it.

In To Love and Be Loved author Sam Keen sets out what he sees as the most important question we can ask ourselves in life: 'How can I become a more loving human being?'
Love is not something we 'fall' into, claims Keen, but a complex art combining many skills and talents that take a lifetime to learn. To Love and Be Loved explores the sixteen key 'elements of love' that combine to form the full spectrum of human affection.
'In the depths of our being, in body, mind and spirit, we know we are created to love and be loved ... Fulfilling this imperative is the central meaning of our life.'

When so many marriages fail, why do others succeed? What can nearly-weds and newly-weds do to ensure that their marriage brings connection, fulfilment and joy?
Based on in-depth interviews with fifty couples, The Good Marriage: How and Why Love Lasts shows couples a great deal about how spouses overcome difficult obstacles, resolve conflicts, and keep love alive despite the myriad pressures of modern life.
Each marriage, the authors found, was woven from different strands of love, friendship, sexual fulfillment, nurture, protection, emotional security, economic responsibility, and co-parenting.

Despite 30 years of arguments to the contrary, happiness may just depend on reciting – and keeping – the wedding vows of love and commitment.
In The Case for Marriage: Why Married People Are Happier, Healthier, and Better Off Financially, Linda Waite and Maggie Gallagher sift through the evidence and conclude that marriage is beneficial and transformational, and that neither uncomitted cohabitation nor swinging singledom are all they're cracked up to be.
This is a book that documents what we intuitively know – there's a reason for marriage and we toy with it at our peril.
