Description
The Love Ladder is the first and only book to condense all the great secrets of romantic relationships into specific, step-by-step actions to find and grow the love you’ve always wanted. The author spent almost 40 years compiling this information so you don’t have to. You can discover how to make yourself more desirable and ready for love, what to look for in a partner, how to evaluate a current relationship and assess its future potential, and how to grow an existing relationship using innovative commitment-oriented exercises. You’ll improve your connection, chemistry, communication, conflict management, and much, much more. If you want to have the timeless secrets of love at your fingertips, know who’s right for you and who isn’t, and be able to deepen the level of commitment and depth of love with your partner, The Love Ladder is for you. Unique tools are used to examine in detail the key areas of love as they relate to you and current or future partners. These areas are organized as: companionship, communication, conflict management, chemistry, connection, and commitment. (Compatibility depends on the six other areas.) After the evaluation tools are used to assess current status and an initial idea of future potential, similar tools are employed in detailed exercises developed to solve a widespread problem in relationship teaching and training. Countless books, seminars and workshops have focused on providing relationship information—information about differences between men and women and how men and women should relate to each other. Often exercises for the couple to do together are included. But there are problems with this approach. First, there is so much information, the key points may get overlooked and never acted on. Second, a couple may intend to do the exercises, but it’s well known that a desired action without a specific deadline for completion usually doesn’t get done. Even if some exercises got done once or twice—perhaps in a workshop, perhaps at home—that would not make the lessons part of the couple’s day-to-day life. Instead of trying to improve a couple’s relationship by providing a lot of information and assigning a little homework that may never get done, The Love Ladder applies science of learning techniques so a couple retains and applies what they learn. True learning involves repeating the proper activities in the proper way over and over until they become a habit. So The Love Ladder provides a systematic, step-by-step set of exercises and activities that are performed repeatedly according to a well-defined schedule until they become part of the couple’s rational and emotional memory and their daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly routines. In this way they can truly change the nature of their relationship and reach their maximum potential.
About the author
Brad McMurrey, B.S., M.A., C. Phil. For over 30 years Brad participated in and led system, software, research, and marketing projects of all sizes including multimillion dollar projects that involved decision making at the national level. During that time, two of his main interests were romantic relationships and personal/career success. He collected and studied all the information he could find on those subjects including lessons learned at work. He observed countless mistakes made (including his own) in romantic relationships and on the job. People may have learned or heard how to find and have a good relationship or how to perform work-related functions, but Brad realized that it’s not information or knowledge that really counts but the actions taken at the appropriate time. This led him to organize and condense the comprehensive amounts of material he had about relationships, personal improvement/achievement, and work-related functions into the specific actions you must take to find and build love and personal/career success. The result is the books The Love Ladder, The Success Ladder, and the combined book The Love and Success Ladders Combined. Brad is retired and lives in Carlsbad, California, with his wife of 10 years.
