Love that Works

The atmosphere in which love can thrive can be defined. The key elements required to sustain healthy and lasting intimacy are all skill-based, which means that with attention and education, anyone can learn and improve upon them. I infuse this love education with the latest scientific research on positive psychology practices to provide a powerful and authentic yet easy to understand framework for sustaining relationships.

Commitment works best when we approach it as a method of personal growth. Ultimately our loving relationships are the most gentle and effective education we engage in to become the person we want to be. By creating an ecology in which love can thrive and be sustainable, we can solidify and enliven our primary relationships—by strengthening the relationship’s foundation, improving communication, understanding what it means to truly be together (even when apart), being comfortable with our own sexuality, and keeping the fire of intimacy burning bright. This book is dedicated to guiding that work. Wendy’s first book, built around years of her Sustainable Love writing, tackles the challenging issues of sustaining relationships and creating healthy intimate lives. Critics have acclaimed that Love That Works is an essential handbook for the daily practice of learning to cultivate the renewable resources of loving relationships and family.
