Lasting Romance by Knowing Me, Knowing You
21
January 2004 (Barrie, ON) Valentine's Day is just around the
corner and "love is in the air". People are swept up in a
quest for romance. But is it possible to keep romance alive
once this holiday is over? "Yes!" says Carol Brethour Stephens,
co-author of a new book for engaged couples. "The solution
to keeping romance alive in any long-term relationship is
to develop true intimacy-the intimacy of knowing one another's
feelings and thoughts, our souls if you will. Intimacy, not
mystery, is the true essence of romance."
Carol
and her husband Malcolm Stephens of Barrie, Ontario, wrote
Knowing Me, Knowing You: A Multiple-Choice Quiz For Engaged
Couples with the goal of helping couples to foster intimacy
and prepare better for marriage. The book has already been
promoted to over eighteen million people by American radio
advice guru, Dr. Laura Schlessinger. During the promotion,
it achieved an Amazon.com top 100 ranking of 77th on May 28th.
The couple has been invited to be guest speakers at the Vancouver
Wellness Show (www.thewellnessshow.com) on February 13 at
6:30 p.m.
Knowing
Me, Knowing You is based on the belief that by thoroughly
knowing one another-each other's beliefs, pet peeves, and
expectations about the endless details regarding family, friends,
children, finances, careers, etc.-a couple can discover areas
of potential conflict and can then discuss them proactively.
This
may sound intimidating, but this two-book set makes it easy
and fun because the issues are laid out in a multiple-choice
quiz. There are no essays and no trick questions-just common
sense issues set in a multiple-choice format. All each partner
has to do is check the box that applies to him/her.
There
are two books-one for the men and one for the women. In 18
chapters, each comprehensive quiz covers topics from faith
to family to finances-and includes many points most couples
don't think to discuss. The man and woman complete their quizzes
independently, and then compare answers to find potential
problem areas, which they can then discuss.
This
easy-to-use book highlights areas where real-life couples
clash and where they succeed. Through the discussions prompted
by this book, readers will have discovered and developed common
values and strategies that will help them to cope with life's
inevitable challenges with unity.
With
some of life's stressors already sorted out, couples can celebrate
the romance that comes with true intimacy. That's a great
way to keep the romance alive.
