With fifty percent of marriages ending in divorce and the ever-increasing number of "trial" marriages, serial monogamists, and "scared singles," attaining a happy, long-lasting relationship can seem hopelessly out of reach. Where can couples turn when the old rules don't work anymore? Seana McGee and Maurice Taylor, couple educators and husband-and-wife psychotherapist team, have the answers. "Ten New Laws of Love" is based not only on what they've learned in their practice, working two-on-two with couples from all over the world, but also in what's made their own marriage thrive. Putting couples and singles on the path to attaining success in love, each chapter teaches how to incorporate these natural relationship "laws" into the relationship. For all couples, living together or married, straight or gay, with children or without, The New Couple offers tools for emotionally and sexually fulfilling relationships that last. In the quest for safety, belonging, continuity, and comfort, we often fall back on traditional, deeply ingrained expectations and assumptions about relationships, including such stifling stereotypes as the "male provider and the good wife and mother. However these conventions ignore our individual needs to learn to love ourselves and to find and fulfill our true life's work, as well as our need for a more authentic, ongoing emotional connection to our mate. Taylor and McGee provide the keys for a deeper understanding of modern partners' "higher order needs" and the tools for the fulfillment within the context of a committed, loving, and honest relationship.
