Introduction

Unless you are one of the fortunate few who have experienced great romantic relationships, attaining truly fulfilling relationships can be challenging to say the least.

The modern dating and relating world are proving to be very difficult to navigate, and many of us have seemingly lost confidence in the current dynamics. We are functioning in dysfunction, and calling it love.

We have entered a kind of relationship recession, full of pain and fear, and out of sheer frustration and in a state of confusion many of us have simply decided to give up, rather than try again to make relationships work.

Marriage rates are falling, divorce rates are rising, and birth rates across the world have either stalled or are falling, as family dynamics shift. Divorce rates for second and third marriages are also substantially higher than for first marriages, and are climbing.

This is a major social issue that gets limited attention in the mainstream media, and yet so many lives are harmed by our inability to maintain happy romances. And our innocent children are becoming the greatest victims of this dysfunction.

We have all been sold the dream of true love; but, collectively, few of us have a clear understanding of what this is, and how to attain it.

My book Your Ultimate Connection Awaits puts forward all the reasons why this situation is arising, and in fact deteriorating, and contains solutions to the problems we are facing, together. These are my views for wise readers to consider and reflect upon.

After two divorces, and multiple other difficult romantic relationships, I spent over a decade studying love, and why some relationships fail, while others thrive. This book contains my detailed findings for a world in need of inspiration.

Isn’t it time that we remembered the feeling of love and made it the centrepiece in our romantic relationships, not just the idea of it? After all, having wonderful loving relationships is surely something we all dream about!
