Are You the One for Me?: Knowing Who's Right and Avoiding Who's Wrong
by Barbara DeAngelis Is he/she the one you want? What are the biggest mistakes singles make when they date?
Why do you keep picking people who are emotionally unavailable, have no common interests or are just looking for sex? This is a must read for anyone who is single and dating or dating
exclusively (and evaluating). Early on, readers are asked
to make lists of past lovers' worst qualities and then to write a want ad for a partner, highlighting the common themes. Readers count off ``the seven wrong reasons to be in a relationship'' (from ``sexual hunger'' to ``emotional
or spiritual emptiness''); ``nine fatal flaws to watch out for in a partner'' (addiction, control-freak tendencies, sexual dysfunction); seven compatibility time-bombs, etc. Those unsure of whether to commit may value the
elaborate self-test offered here, leading to a numerical assessment of compatibility. Given a tolerance for lists and comfort with an approach that precludes subtlety, readers with histories of unhappy relationships may gain
insight from this solid, well-organized advice.
Highly Recommended!

How to Make Anyone Fall in Love With You
by Leil Lowndes The sensation of falling in love comes from a chemical secreted by the nervous system, phenylethylamine (or PEA, as Lowndes calls it, as in "Scientists tell us only
PEA-brained people fall in Love"), and the trick is to trigger the manufacture of PEA in your potential love partner, giving him or her the sensation of being in love. Much of what the book offers is common sense--the
power of eye contact and compliments--but it's presented in a new way and with such detail that it seems that it can't help but work. Here, readers will find 85 techniques based on scientific studies regarding the nature of love.
By using these pragmatic, down-to-earth strategies, anyone can turn new or casual relationships into lasting ones--or make current relationships deeper.

Intellectual Foreplay : Questions for Lovers and Lovers-To-Be by Eve Eschner Hogan, Steven Hogan
"What should you ask someone before you get seriously involved?" Intellect- ual
Foreplay is designed to spark stimulation and interest through intimate communication. "Like its physical counterpart, [it] can build excitement and desire--or quickly reveal a lack of compatibility, saving you months, or
even years, of developing a relationship that isn't going to work," say the authors. It's an interesting concept: questions to ask to determine compatibility or just get to know a lover or potential lover better. The book starts with "Who Are You?" questions covering a myriad of topics, such as
self-esteem, values, hobbies, trust, romance, spirituality, health, and time management. Other sections include "Where Did You Come From?" (past, family, friends, education, and intelligence), "Where Are You
Going?" (money, work, and future), "Can We Live Together?" (home, household responsibilities, food, bathroom, pets, vehicles, garden), and "Where Are We Going?" (vacations, holidays, children, wedding, and
sex). For example, figure out your top 20
"non-negotiable" questions and answer them yourself before asking them of a partner.

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Mordechai Gottman
Gottman, the director of the Gottman Institute, has found through studying hundreds of couples in his "love lab" that it only takes five minutes for him to predict--with 91 percent accuracy--
which couples will eventually divorce. He shares the four not-so-obvious signs of a troubled relationship that he looks for, using sometimes amusing passages from his sessions with married couples. (One standout is Rory, the
pediatrician who didn't know the name of the family dog because he spent so much time at work.) Gottman debunks many myths about divorce (primary among them that affairs are at the root of most splits). He also reveals
surprising facts about couples who stay together. They do engage in screaming matches. And they certainly don't resolve every problem. "Take Allan and Betty," he writes. "When Allan gets annoyed at Betty, he
turns on ESPN. When Betty is upset with him, she heads for the mall. Then they regroup and go on as if nothing's happened. Never in forty-five years of marriage have they sat down to have a 'dialogue' about their
relationship." While this may sound like a couple in trouble, Gottman found that they pass the love-lab tests and say honestly that "they are both very satisfied with their relationship and they love each other
deeply." Through a series of in-depth quizzes, checklists, and exercises, similar to the ones he uses in his workshops, Gottman provides the framework for coping with differences and strengthening your marriage. His
profiles of troubled couples rescued from the brink of divorce (including that of Rory, the out-of-touch doctor) and those of still-happy couples who reinvigorate their relationships are equally enlightening.
