The world has changed. It's not as easy to meet people, and it's definitely not as easy to find your soul mate. At the very core, two people need to have similar styles, interests, and values when it comes to loving and living. So, how do you find lasting love? Dr. Pepper Schwartz believes that if you’re ready for a serious relationship, it's time for a serious approach. Described by Dr. Judith Sills as "insightful, brilliantly original and extremely useful," Dr. Schwartz's DuetTM Total Compatibility System is designed to help you find someone you'll be compatible with on the deepest levels. Finding Your Perfect Match will help you: Identify the eight romantic personality characteristics that determine who you are, what you want and ultimately, who you should be with. Explore the five major lifestyle issues that can have a dramatic impact on you and your partner: money, sex, children, core values, and social life. A lasting, loving relationship can only develop with someone who matches those needs and is truly compatible with you, but it's not as hard as you think. You just have to be willing to take a different approach. Dr. Schwartz has done thirty years of relationship research to save you a lifetime of searching.

A Paperback Original. Who hasn't been dizzy with the prospect of romance? Now the most popular feature of Lifetimetv.com helps you put your love to the test. Do you fight fair? Should you stay, or go? Are you a flirt? These are just some of the topics covered in this quiz collection compiled by relationship guru Dr. Pepper Schwartz. The quizzes help readers analyze their feelings and actions objectively and help them improve their relationships using the solid advice offered by Dr. Schwartz. Is It Love or Lust -- Take the test! You're at a dinner party with a roomful of people when your partner tells a joke that falls flat. You: A) Turn a little red for him B) Laugh -- loudly, you don't want him to be embarrassed C) Chuckle, and remember again why you love his offbeat sense of humor (If you answered A, you're on the fence! The best answer is B. Your impulse to laugh despite the fact that your partner's funny joke tanked shows your desire to support and protect the one you love. If you answered C, you love him precisely because he's one of a kind. B & C are the answers of a woman in love, not in lust.) The 50 quizzes cover all aspects of your "love psyche" and are a fun and provocative tool for anyone who wants to be kissed by Cupid's arrow.
