What is romantic love? Is it an irrational ideal to be
discarded — or an exalted vision of man/woman relationships that we
have barely begun to understand? With this groundbreaking work,
Nathaniel Branden and his wife and colleague Devers challenge many of
our traditional assumptions about love and point the way to an
experience of joy and passion within our power to attain.
Originally published as The Romantic Love Question-and-Answer Book,
this revised and expanded edition addresses the most urgent and
frequently asked questions from men and women struggling to achieve and
sustain love in their own lives. Nathaniel and Devers Branden respond
with a unique blend of personal and client anecdotes, highly effective
problem-solving techniques such as sentence completion and the
twelve-hour intimacy marathon, and profound — often unexpected —
advice. They offer invaluable insight in every area they deal with: the
meaning of romantic love as contrasted with infatuation and transitory
sexual attraction; communicating our emotions; intimacy and sex;
jealousy and infidelity; balancing work and love; stress, conflict,
life-cycle changes; marriage, children, relatives; letting go; and
romantic love in later years. To anyone who has been through both the
hope and despair of love or who has never yet experienced it but cannot
relinquish the dream, What Love Asks of Us give[s] back to men and women the hope with which they started — and the knowledge the dream does not have to be abandoned...
