"Many of us were raised with the idea that true love means finding our 'other half' and that a spark is the best foundation for successful long-term partnerships and marriages. But what if this understanding is flawed? Based on two decades of original research and work with couples from around the world, 'Love by Design' introduces a an entirely new idea: the Emergent Love Model. As Dr. Nasserzadeh knows, successful relationships do not thrive on love as we know it. Instead of chasing our butterflies we need to cultivate six core relational ingredients that make it possible for love to emerge: -- Attraction: What do you like and value about each other? -- Respect: How do you keep each other's needs and priorities in mind? -- Trust: Do you know that you will show up for each other consistently? -- Compassion: Can you honor the other's emotional experience without making it about you? -- Shared vision: Where are you committed to going together? -- Loving behaviors: What are the ways you show your love through specific, exclusive and tender actions? Offering dozens of exercises and reflection prompts, this groundbreaking book will give readers a new way of approaching their relationship -- one that will help them thrive for a lifetime."
