BOOK EXCERPTS
TAKE A SNEAK PEEK AT SOME OF THE DELICIOUSLY TWISTED STORIES OF LOVE, LUST, ROMANCE, AND SEX.
Real love can and does exist. Not for the faint of heart, love entails dedication and commitment, along with the responsibilities that come with this type of devotion to allow another person into your soul and life energy.
- Dr. Arlene KriegerBoth sexes commit as many transgressions as their partners; there is no “better gender” among us. Our differences ultimately make us stronger, not weaker.
- Dr. Arlene KriegerI challenge the men and women brave enough to engage and involve themselves in the relationship, to ask for equal dedication, respect, and commitment from their partners.
- Dr. Arlene Krieger
We have become a throwaway society, for the most part. “Tick us off, look away when we’re speaking to you, jump on board the bigger and better option, because it’s there and you can” has become the MO of our relational society today.
- Dr. Arlene KriegerAt present we are now faced with a more radical, powerful and impactful change in the very base nature of the human relationship, and ultimately in how we meet our mates. We as humans have never encountered these social challenges before. Never in the history of mankind have the rituals of pairing off, been so accessible.
- Dr. Arlene KriegerThese stories may normalize the bonds you’ve created in your own voyage with your partner. Here you are invited to begin a journey into the “real normal of human relationships.
- Dr. Arlene Krieger
Love comes in many shapes and forms, meaning that we all love differently. This is not simply a decision of how to love another person but is greatly informed often by a person’s family of origin…and how they learned to love.
- Dr. Arlene KriegerCan those feelings ever come back as strong as in the beginning? For many, sexuality is still a mysterious, misunderstood, complex problem continuously arising in their relationships and daily interactions.
- Dr. Arlene KriegerAlways indelibly passionate, sometimes dark, yet scrumptiously appealing to our primal senses. If you happen to see yourself in these echoes of love and life, hopefully, these accountings of mortal narratives, and layers of humanity— will inspire you to create fuller and truer relationships.
- Dr. Arlene Krieger
It is only human to want to be truly seen, acknowledged and adored, by the one that captures our hearts.
- Dr. Arlene KriegerWe as humans are not naturally monogamous creatures. We can love many persons in a lifetime and love them differently, separately, with great affection and passion—loving them with no rhyme or reason, often times confusing us beyond imagination, wreaking havoc on all involved.
- Dr. Arlene KriegerPeople say they are looking for perfection in a partner. Love, however, is not ever perfect. It is irrational, passionate, and complicated.
