✦ Synopsis

Why Love Is Not Enough explains:
- How to tell if the person you love is the last person on earth with whom should settle down?
- What's the difference between mature and immature love?
- What are the best ways to build self-esteem and become attractive to others?
- How can you let go of a destructive or painful relationship?
- What should you ask before you consider marrying a divorced person?

With up to one-half of all contemporary marriages ending in divorce, there are a lot of questions to ask when it comes to finding and choosing the right mate. WHY LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH offers new ways to look at those questions...and some surprising possible answers that may help you avoid the mistake of a lifetime. Nationally-known psychologist Dr. Sol Gordon here shatters the myth that love alone can build a satisfying relationship, identifies the people and relationships you must walk away from, and outlines the essential components of a happy partnership.

Whether you're actively considering marrying someone or simply trying to “find the right person”... whether you're happy with a potential mate or trapped in an unhealthy situation you want to change for the better...whether you're certain about what you want from your next partner or a little unsure about what will “make things work”...Dr. Gordon's insightful, understandable, and pertinent advice can make a difference. WHY LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH will show you how to change your relationships, your future, and — perhaps most important — the way you look at yourself.
