The 8 Love Links: Relationships are complicated but they hold the potential for life's greatest joys

Shahn Baker Sorekli

Romantic relationships are complicated. Conflict is painful. Sometimes, the attraction just seems to die. So how do some couples create relationships that are the foundation of an extraordinary existence, improving their physical and mental health and freeing them to focus on broader life goals?

The answer isn't just finding the right person (no matter what the gurus say). The difference between togetherness and breakups is knowing how to nurture a positive relationship. The 8 Love Links, created by couples' therapists and clinical psychologists Helen Robertson and Shahn Baker Sorekli, provides a theory and framework to turn any relationship into a thriving and life-enhancing connection.

After decades of guiding people through the choppy waters of couples' conflict, Helen and Shahn have identified eight key areas that are the links that hold the best relationships together. In this book, they explain exactly what the love links are, why they matter and, most importantly, how to develop and use them every day to foster a meaningful relationship and life.

The 8 Love Links is founded in science using proven strategies and theory distilled from years of clinical practice and research. With the addition of personal anecdotes and client examples, you can:

    discover how family influences and past relationships can shape present behaviour and emotional responsesfeel empowered to create a new way of relatingfind ways to break away from past unhelpful dynamics and establish boundaries, navigate differences and introduce positive relationship feedback loopsdiscover ways to foster the shared values that are essential for enduring connections.

By embracing the strategies outlined in The 8 Love Links, you can address challenges head on, equipped with the tools to resolve conflict, deepen connection, passion and sexual intimacy, and heal emotional wounds.
