Practical dating advice from a divorce attorney.

Want to know the secret to finding a meaningful and long-lasting relationship? Who doesn't!

Whether you are divorced or looking to remarry, you have been in-and-out of failed relationships, you are uncertain about an existing relationship, or you are simply prepared to ditch the single life...

Whether you are gay, trans, nonbinary, straight...

Whatever your race, gender, religion or sexual identity or orientationβ€”this book is for you.

Most relationship guides are written by therapists who base their advice on success stories. This is not that book. This is not your average relationship book. This book emerged from failure and offers a unique and fresh perspective. (Think, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," except the albatross is Zsa Zsa Gabor).

Written by a divorce attorney with more than twenty years' experience, Live, Laugh, Find True Love works backwards, scrutinising and dissecting the reasons relationships go wrong, to help you find the right relationship.

In working with thousands of divorcing couples, author Sarah Intelligator has distilled several unmistakable patterns among failed relationships. She has reduced these patterns into six categories, "F-Words": Fundamental Values, Fear, Foundation, Fixing, Fairy Tale, and Family. This book will teach you to recognise and avoid these predictable patterns in your own search for a life partner, so that you may find a fulfilling and enduring relationship.

Throughout the course of this book, you will be guided on an introspective journey of deep self-reflection. You will come out the other side not only with a more solid understanding of what you want in a relationship, but how to go about finding a partner best suited for you, because you deserve to love and be loved in a healthy way.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised by Dr Sarah Salzman, founder of the Couples Communication Institute, the book is valued for its accurate identification of common relationship patterns, providing readers with clear, sometimes challenging truths that can save years of emotional pain. Caitlin Crosby commends the book for its comforting and empowering advice that offers hope in the quest for love. It is recommended as essential reading for anyone seeking a committed relationship with eyes wide open.
