This read is the here and now. It provides crucial advice on how a couple survived and survives the pressure of disregarding what everyone else is doing, and doing what’s right. If you’re a young adult, and even if you aren’t, you can understand the pressures of fitting in, the relationship goals that many aspire to achieve, amongst other social influences.-What is Love ? This book starts with the misconception and misbelief of love. How the definition has been distorted over the years and how we mustn’t chase what movies and celebrities and songs profess as love. It continues with the many reasons why we enter relationships in the name of Love, how our expectations of love set us up for failure, and describing in exceptional detail what Love isn’t.How can we really experience true love and happiness if we are chasing an idea of love that isn’t real?-Something else that really stood out to me is the importance we put on significant others. We put them on pedal stools, not allowing them to be human, and than criticize them when they falter. This read encourages individual to not fall into that trap of being overly dependent on someone to the detriment of the relationship and yourself.-One of the most informative chapters was one for singles. When single you can feel ridiculously lonely, hurt, frustrated etc. this chapter grants a different perspective on the waiting period.-What I truly resonated with was the unselfishness involved in marriage. Most people go into marriage concerned with what they can get, but the authors reiterated the importance of sacrifice and giving that’s crucial and necessary for a marriage to last. The authors include that it’s not all about love and feelings and that marriage truly is a commitment, in which I agree. This practice of giving isn’t common because most get into relationships to receive. A common response on divorce or breakups is, “they changed,” or “they stopped giving me what I needed so I had to go to someone who could.” This message can change the hearts of many, as it did with Alyssa, and this entire book has a waterfall of advice that many, in today’s world of love and relationship, can profit from.
