From Mel Krantzler, a licensed marriage and family counselor, the nationally acclaimed, bestselling author of Creative Divorce, and director of the Creative Divorce/Learning to Love Again Counseling Centers, comes another insightful, helpful, and energizing book that brings hope to those emotionally devastated by the loss of a love. What happens next? Just when you thought it would never happen again, love comes back into your life. You can survive the explosive realities that losing love brings, but how do you know when, and if, you are ready for love again? Are you having trouble finding the "right" man or woman? Are you afraid of making another "mistake"? Do you keep getting involved in short-term relationships? Are you beginning to think that finding love is a matter of luck? Mel Krantzler has led ongoing seminars on the subject of finding love, and Learning to Love Again provides clear guidelines and challenging steps that lead from loneliness to love: The Remembered-Pain Stage--absorbing a blow from the past The Questing-Experimental Stage--surveying the possibilities The Selective-Distancing Stage--a cautious step forward The Creative-Commitment Stage--where enduring love begins Mel Krantzler draws on the real stories of real people who are learning to love again, to live together, to marry, to be step-parents, and to build satisfying new lives. He shares his experiences in applying the principles of creative commitment to his own remarriage. Learning to Love Again is the best guide for married, single, or divorced men and women. Here is how you can create a new beginning by learning to love again today!
For 10 months, I've been dating a not-so-recently divorced man (over 3 1/2 years ago) and this book has helped me understand him more than any other book or person. When we met, he apparently thought he was in Stage 4 (Ready for Commitment) but it turns out he's in Stage 3 (Come Closer/Go Away). If not for Learning to Love Again, I probably would have written him off months ago but the book really helped me understand what's going through his head. I just wish the book were longer!!
Before you take another mate-You've got to read this book!!

Mel Krantzler explains in detail, and with humor, the phases the human goes through after a divorce, to get them to a point of re-connecting again in an intimate relationship. I found myself (as he explains) bouncing back and forth between phases, each time I had another breakup..This book is a must read for the person (either male or female), who's found themselves alone again after divorce, break-up, or death of a life partner; before you even consider a new relationship..
