Here we are! Week #4 of your Month of Reading Bravely. Ahh! Books about love and marriage. These are my jam! It was no easy feat to limit myself to just 15. In these books you will find research, paradigms, perspectives, stories, and ideas about what it takes to create and sustain love across time. I was asked during an interview last night what my one piece of advice would be for people who want to create a happy and healthy intimate relationship, and my response was– Live as a student of love! Figure out what helps ignite within you passion and curiosity about understanding love. These books will help you do just that! Enjoy!
