Beyond Valentine Love

February 15, 2016

Let's go beyond what's possibly seen as a commercial view of Valentine love and remember Tina Turner's award-winning song - "What's Love Got To Do With It?" The lyrics proclaim: "Love is not a second-hand emotion". So, what does it take to keep love alive and have a relationship not only last, but flourish? We'll delve into the challenges of love and offer ways to promote relationship richness and rewards. You'll hear:

* that difficult times can be transformed into deeper love
* how men and women do indeed communicate differently
* well-tested ideas for singles who want to find the right relationship
* why past experiences impact how we perceive our partner
* the reason commitment is so integral to relationship
* what emotional infidelity is and isn't - and why it's important to know the difference
