Description
The accepted definition of love by psychologists emphasizes the unselfish requirements of an action to be loving. But most of us mean when we say "love" is really infatuation – – what do you do for me. This infatuation is usually both physical and psychological. But the selfish nature of infatuation is quite the opposite of the unselfish nature of "love."
Understanding what love means is only part of the essentials that are necessary for a successful relationship. In every relationship, whether simple or complex, there is a contract. In our more complex relationships in our constantly changing world, the terms of our relationships must be understood. It is not as easy as it seems. This book clarifies the two essentials of intimate adult relationships – – love and contract. It is a must read for any person who is in a relationship or expects to be in one!
But the “us” usually doesn’t stop with the two partners. Children are usually involved in the deeper relationships. Loving them is essential. But to love someone—to help to make him or her the best they can be—requires a knowledge of the psychological tasks most people need to accomplish.
So being able to “love” is more than just having a warm feeling in your underwear! You must have a deeper understanding of yourself and of the person or persons you want to love.
