Books On Relationships

Even the most disciplined, competent individuals, will tell you dealing with relationships can be difficult at times. People suffer from jealousy, intimacy problems, trust issues, communication breakdowns, and all kinds of other obstructions to maintaining a healthy relationship. It's no surprise that the relationship problem advice industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry. There are books on relationships that cover every perspective designed for every audience, from young kids who are just beginning to date to old people who are trying to reignite that spark in a love that has lasted a lifetime.

I have been writing books on relationships for over three decades, but I've just recently found success. I first began writing books on emotional intimacy in the 70's when it was just starting to become a trendy thing to do. I actually began writing for my own therapeutic purposes. I'm the sort of person that has to write down my thoughts so I can deal with them. If I don't write, I can't move on. By giving advice to other people, I was able to give good advice myself. It was amazing how much more I knew that I really thought I did, and I realized immediately that I would have a future as a relationship advice guru.

Since that time, the dating scene has changed quite a bit. Today, online dating, professional matchmaking services, speed dating, and all sorts of other services that were not around when I started writing are taken for granted. I look at these developments as positive in a lot of ways. There are so many books on relationships that deal with how to meet people if you're shy or awkward, but today it's much easier than it used to be. Shy and awkward people of are able to network online and meet from a comfortable social distance before they commit to getting together face-to-face. This is good because it can make initial meetings less awkward, because both people already know what to expect.

Majority of my new books on relationships deal with the issues I am presently going through. As I continue to grow older, I want to deepen my personal relationships. Quite a few books on relationships are written with a sub text that, as people grow old, their love tends to wind down. In my experiences, this is not true at all. On the contrary, the major task of growing older is to make your love even deeper and more profound then it was when you were younger. I am not working on a book on relationship problems, but more of a celebration of love affairs that last a lifetime. It's wonderful to be old and completely in love with the person you have chosen to spend your life with all those years ago. Even people in healthy relationships can benefit from sitting back and reflecting on how far they have actually come.
