Build the successful, loving, long-term partnership you desire with the Emergent Love Model. If you feel disillusioned, disconnected, or unfulfilled, internationally-celebrated couples therapist Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh can help you redefine your relationship-perfect for perfect for readers of “The 8 Rules of Love” and “The Love Prescription”.
Most of us were raised with the idea that true love means finding your "other half," and the hallmark of a successful long-term partnership, and that love is the strongest foundation for marriage. But what if we have this completely wrong?
In “Love by Design”, Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh introduces a groundbreaking new foundation for love: “The Emergent Love Model”. See, successful partnerships cannot survive on love alone, and instead of chasing our butterflies we need to invest in the wellbeing of six core relational ingredients: • Attraction: What do you value about your partner? • Respect: How do you keep your partner's needs and priorities in mind? • Trust: Do you know that your partner will show up for you consistently? • Compassion: Can you honor the other's emotional experience without making it personal? • Shared vision: Where are you committed to going together? • Loving behaviors: How do you show your partner they're special to you?
Grounded in two decades of original research and work with couples from around the world, Dr. Nasserzadeh takes readers beyond communication skills and conflict management, giving readers an entirely new framework for the foundation of their coupledom-one that can last a lifetime.
Full of exercises and prompts for reflection, readers will finish “Love by Design” confident and empowered to realize the relationship of their dreams.
