From a Washington Post weddings reporter whoβs covered more than two hundred walks down the aisle comes a warm, witty, and wise book about relationshipsβthe mystery, the science, and the secrets of how we find love and make it last. Ellen McCarthy has explored the complete journey of our timeless quest for βThe One,β the Soul Mate, the Real Thing. This indispensable collection of insightsβon dating, commitment, breakups, weddings, and marriageβgives us a window into enduring romance: β’ Go Online AlreadyββItβs a major time suck and a black hole of rejection and ambiguity and lies. But you know what? It also works.β β’ Keep It ConfidentialββIf you have to get something off your chest, pick someone whose wisdom you really trust, and who isnβt likely to spread the gossip to all your mutual acquaintances.β β’ Be NiceββBrewing the morning coffee, touching the small of your partnerβs back, filling their car with gas. These things add up to more relationship satisfaction than a fancy dinner on Valentineβs Day ever could.β The Real Thing features many more nuggets of wisdom, valuable information from the latest studies on commitment, candid testimonials from a variety of couples, and the personal story of McCarthyβs own search for βthe keeperββwhich begins, ironically, with a breakup the very same day she started as the Postβs full-time weddings reporter. Whether youβre looking for love or looking to strengthen your relationship, this book is a wonderful and clear-eyed map to the human heart.
