More than poems, cards, candy, or flowers, Valentine's Day comes around each year to remind us of both romance and enduring love. Yet we know that relationships involve so much more than the heady passion of the "falling in love" phase: authenticity, loyalty, deep friendship, respect, and so very much more.
It's been said, "Where there's love, there's life." We explore the wonders of love and offer some helpful ideas to promote intimacy and handle rough patches. You'll hear:

* what dynamics are involved when two people fall in love
* stories that describe why love changes over time
* the importance of honoring the various stages of loving
* why commitment is both sexy and freeing
* how to create the vital mature phase of a relationship
