Finding Your Perfect Match

8 Keys to Finding Lasting Love Through True Compatibility
PaperbackPaperback
EUR23,50

Product description

The world has changed. It's not as easy to meet people, and it's definitely not as easy to find your soul mate.
At the very core, two people need to have similar styles, interests, and values when it comes to loving and living. So, how do you find lasting love? Dr. Pepper Schwartz believes that if you're ready for a serious relationship, it's time for a serious approach.

Described by Dr. Judith Sills as "insightful, brilliantly original and extremely useful," Dr. Schwartz's DuetTM Total Compatibility System is designed to help you find someone you'll be compatible with on the deepest levels.

Finding Your Perfect Match will help you:

Identify the eight romantic personality characteristics that determine who you are, what you want and ultimately, who you should be with.


Explore the five major lifestyle issues that can have a dramatic impact on you and your partner: money, sex, children, core values, and social life.


A lasting, loving relationship can only develop with someone who matches those needs and is truly compatible with you, but it's not as hard as you think. You just have to be willing to take a different approach. Dr. Schwartz has done thirty years of relationship research to save you a lifetime of searching.

Es ist dieselbe alte Geschichte: Als Kinder suchen wir nach Bezugspersonen, die unser Überleben garantieren können. Aber meistens klappt es nicht so, wie es sollte. Das Ergebnis? Unausgewogene Bindungsmuster. Unsere Liebesbeziehungen werden zu einem Schlachtfeld, auf dem uns ein ganzes Arsenal emotionaler Waffen zur Verfügung steht, das von Selbstisolation bis zur völligen Vernichtung reicht. Das Schlüsselwort ist "Unsicherheit". Die Situation ist bereits kompliziert, wenn es sich um monogame Beziehungen handelt. Aber was passiert, wenn das Paradigma von der monogamen Denkweise zur Polyamorie wechselt, wenn der Imperativ lautet: Ich bin mit dir zusammen, weil du etwas Besonderes und Einzigartiges bist, aber nicht der Einzige? Das erklärt Jessica Fern in ihrem Buch, wo sie die Bindungstheorie auf CNM (Abkürzung für Consensual Non-monogamy) anwendet. Die Quintessenz? "Der Aufbau einer sicheren Beziehung zu unserem Selbst ist notwendig, um eine gesunde Bindung zu anderen Menschen zu entwickeln". Nun... Amen!
Prompted by her own series of painful heartbreaks, Australian journalist Stephens sets out to retell the stories of three different people in her debut book. Patrick, Ana and Claire are from different generations and backgrounds but they all share the experience of having relationships that they thought would last forever, suddenly breaking apart. Stephens transforms hours of conversation into three fictionalized stories in a set up that reminded me strongly of Lisa Taddeo's "Three Women". While intriguing, gripping and easy to read, I can't help but feel that by focusing on the relaionship before the break-up, Stephens slightly misjudges her own premise. Relatively little space is allocated to the actual break-ups, much less to the healing process that hopefully followed. I also feel that more voices with higher focus might have served the subject better. Nonetheless, this is a thoughtful book on an all too human experience, which is rarely this specifically written about otherwise.
