The problem with defining love as a feeling is that couples have no control over it. For the first months (up to two years, even) new couples ride high on a tidal wave of neurotransmitters, not unlike the high feeling coming from substance abuse. But as soon as that honeymoon period ends, the high feeling lets the couple down, an existential crisis fills the void. Dr. Sara, the world’s premier relationship therapist is here to tell us to fear not: love is an action that any two people – together with a lot of open communication – can foster. She calls it “love by design”, and, to live a love story richer than you’ve ever dreamed of, you don’t need luck. You need six ingredients and two willing partners: you and the person you choose to love. Let’s learn to love by design!
