Twelve Secrets of Happily Ever After Couples, A Love Prescription

Professionally written, time tested over 15 years of therapy, specific examples that show you how to enhance your relationships.

• Originally published in 2006, as Love Prescription, Twelve Secrets of Happily Ever After Couples, by Wheatmark Publishing - I retained my rights and reprinted this book during the Covid quarantine with some updating, a new cover, and a flip on the title.

Having helped many couples successfully enhance and save their relationship over thirteen years of professional mental health counseling, I can attest to the fact that the details and examples in this book do work. I saw it happen. I helped people to try new things to communicate better, to understand each other better, to be more supportive and truly benefit from the extra efforts.

I've used the secrets to give wedding blessings to my own children. Over these 20 years, I haven't changed any of the secrets. They are just as valid as when I first identified and wrote about them and I hope that people continue to buy my book and live happily together.

Here are some reviews of what other people said about my book:

"I have just finished reading Love Prescription for the second time, and I got more out of the second reading than I did the first time I read it. Ms Sullivan is able to provide in just over 100 pages the best information on how to support and build an enduring, loving relationship. One chapter "Throw Away Your Crystal Ball" was really informative. It explained how important it is in a relationship to explain what you need and HOW your partner can give it to you. Many books tell you that communication is important, but this book tells you how to make that communication happen. Ms. Sullivan provides the documentation and facts that provide the tools to create growth and success in any long term relationship. This book is worth reading over and over again to gain the benefits of remembering how important our relationships are with the ones we love."

"5.0 out of 5 stars. This book is excellent, easy to read, well organized is packed with good information and a welcome addition to my personal library."

I'm quite proud of this book. During my professional career, I opened over 600 files and about a third of them were to work with couples. Before I opened my private practice I was helping people get divorced as a guardian ad litem, doing home studies, making suggestions for parenting plans and custody decisions to the courts, mediating parenting plans, teaching divorce classes. I find it so much more satisfying to see people communicating better and understanding how to navigate typical gender differences, and to show people with specific examples of how this works.

This book is available in Kindle format. The paperback version can be found at Whatcom Art Market in Bellingham. The book can be ordered from Amazon or from your favorite bookstore.
