Are You Ready to Build
The Relationship You Deserve and Desire?
If you feel dissatisfied or disillusioned in your romantic partnership, you’re not alone. Many of us were raised with the idea that true love means finding our “other half” and that a spark is the best foundation for successful long-term partnerships and marriages. We drive ourselves crazy chasing that feeling… but what if our understanding of what makes a strong coupledom is flawed?

Designing the Love You Deserve and Desire
Six Relational Ingredients
Grounded in two decades of original research and work with couples from around the world, Love by Design introduces a groundbreaking new foundation for love: the Emergent Love Model. As Dr. Nasserzadeh explains, successful partnerships do not thrive on love as we know it. Instead of chasing our butterflies, we need to cultivate six core relational ingredients that make it possible for love to emerge.
Attraction
What roles and attributes you find appealing about each other?
Respect
How do you keep each other’s needs and priorities in mind?
Trust
Do you know that you will show up for each other consistently and the ways that matter?
Shared Vision
Where are you committed to going together?
Compassion
Can you each honor the other’s emotional experience without making it about you?
Loving Behaviors
What are the ways you show your love through specific, exclusive, and tender actions?
Offering dozens of exercises and reflection prompts, this groundbreaking book will give readers a new foundation for their coupledom—one that will help it not only survive but to thrive for a lifetime.
