The Love Tune-Up: A 14-Day Course. How to Amp Up the Love That's Naturally Inside You to Enjoy Happy, Healthy Relationships
()
About this ebook
What if instead of attracting people who don't respect me, I could meet… the love of my life?"
"What if instead of blowing up whenever my partner annoys me, I could respond with… patience?"
"What if instead of feeling an increasingly vast distance between us, with less intimacy and sex… each year brought us closer together?"
These are important questions.
Questions that Dr. Suzanne Gelb Ph.D., J.D. has been exploring in her work with men, women and couples — in her counseling and coaching practice — for over 30 years, combined.
The answer to every question is Love.
And when Dr. Gelb says, "Love is the answer," she's not trying to be poetic. It's actually very practical.
When you know how to treat yourself with love, care and respect, then you tend to attract people who (also) want to treat you with love, care and respect.
When you are living a happy, healthy life, then you (naturally) form happy, healthy relationships with others.
Yes, of course, romantic partnerships involve two people — not just one.
But if things are feeling rocky or difficult, or not flowing in the way that you'd like, the first relationship to explore and upgrade is your relationship with yourself.
The Love Tune-Up is an invitation to do… exactly that.
With this 14-day course, you'll receive short lessons (plus a few more surprises!) to help you tune-up and upgrade your relationship with yourself. How you talk to yourself — and how you treat yourself.
Lessons to help you move back into your natural, unburdened state of being — free of guilt, shame or unresolved anger.
Lessons on moving back home… into Love.
Whether you're currently single, dating or in a relationship — it doesn't matter.
The Love Tune-Up is designed to help you create a happier, more loving relationship with yourself, regardless of your current coupledom-status. It's always the right time… for more Love!
The basic details:
—The Love Tune-Up is 14 days long.
—You have access to a new lesson for each day.
—You can go at your own pace and there is no expiration date.
—There's a written version (paperback or digital) and in the future, there will be an audio version of each lesson. So you can read or listen. Whatever you prefer.
—You can start The Love Tune-Up at any time. But… why not now? It's always the right time to choose Love.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ...
We loved all 14 lessons. Packed with information and tips. It took our relationship to the next level and improved our lives, individually.
— C and T (married for three years)
This saved our relationship and was just what we needed to shift from considering splitting up to being a success story. Thank you, thank you.
— J and M (dating for a year)
"I’m single and hope to meet ‘the one’ soon. The Love Tune-Up opened my eyes to many things about relationships — with myself and my soon-to-be significant other (fingers crossed!).
I feel much more confident about dating now, and I don’t feel like I used to about relationships... like they’re a gamble and you never know if they’re going to work out long-term. After doing this course, I know that I’m on strong ground with a relationship as long as I have a strong relationship with myself."
— BW (single)
I just finished my 14-day Love Tune-Up. I loved it. It’s been my habit to look for love ‘out there,’ but this book helped me look inside myself for love. Thank you, Dr. Gelb.
— ZJ
