Everyone can find someone, right? Then why is it so hard sometimes? This amazing collection of advice is different from other relationships kindle because because it has advice from from real couples who have learned through experience how to really make love work, so it will help you identify and begin doing the things that people in successful relationships do.By reading about what truly promotes wonderful long term loving relationships - as opposed to the quick fixes in other books or what Hollywood tells us - you will learn how to make real changes and achieve real love.This isn't like any other book on Amazon. It's based on real experience, not sterile research and psychobabble. Almost every book on love, relationships and marriage has the same three enormous flaws:1. They’re all just one person’s opinion – which means either a male or female bias. 2. They’re all incredibly preachy and holier than thou. “Do as I say, or your relationship is rubbish.” 3. We're all incredibly busy but they’re all at least three or four hundred pages long (some longer!). Now, I’m a great reader, I whip my kindle out every day, but I wouldn’t read 80,000 words on football, let alone the mushy arts of love. Why has no one ever summarized this stuff? Where was a book with clear, simple advice that cut straight to the tips and insights al couples could use? A couple of years ago my marriage was coming up to that year they call the ‘Seven-Year-Itch’. Being truly, madly, deeply (okay, sometimes a little too desperately) in love with my wife, Allie, I decided I’d start reading every book I could find on love to make sure this was the best year of our married life, not the worst. But the more I read, the more I realised there was something missing. So I decided to write my own book that couples could use together as a great conversation starter.I spent the first half of my seventh year of marriage interviewing almost 100 people who were in great relationships about what makes their love life tick.I asked them “If you could go back and give your younger self one piece of advice about love, what would it be?” to get people to look back over their lives and work out what works and what doesn’t, what’s important and what’s not. Then I put each person’s piece of wisdom down next to a superbly daggy photo of them as they were at around eighteen – complete with paisley flares, shoulder pads and really nasty mullet – just so all this wisdom doesn’t seem to smug.Great advice, no guilt or finger pointingUnlike a lot of books that actually make you feel worse, the people in this book offer helpful tips and advice without any judgment. And the nerdy young photo of each contributor makes sure there is no finger pointing or 'holier than thou'.Writing this book changed my relationship, so I know it will change yours.Although I’d love to trot out a line like “this is the book I wish existed a year ago” but then I wouldn’t have experienced the profound effect that writing What I Wish I Knew about Love had on me and my relationship with Allie. Now I understand on a much deeper level that it’s totally okay that men and women don’t think the same, that in a relationship it’s he who gives the most wins, and that you can get through anything when you believe in soul mates. Allie and I are more deeply in love than ever, and the rest of our years are bound to be the best of our years.
