In Love Cycles, veteran couples therapist Linda Carroll presents a groundbreaking model of the five natural stages of romantic relationships — the Merge, Doubt and Denial, Disillusionment, Decision, and Wholehearted Love — and a guide for navigating through them toward lasting love. Love Cycles helps readers understand where they are in the cycle of their relationship and provides a clear strategy for how to stay happy and committed, even in difficult times.

Couples therapist Linda Carroll is certified in Transpersonal Psychology and Imago Therapy, and is a master teacher in Pairs Therapy. She teaches workshops at Rancho La Puerta (Tecate, Mexico), and throughout the west, and lives in Oregon. Sam Keen, the author of Fire in the Belly, lives in northern California.
