About the Book:

A rom-com movie guide to match your mood, inspire talks about love, and improve your romantic well-being.

Unlike film guides that list films alphabetically, give production facts, and offer rather dry descriptions, this book is designed to help people better understand themselves, their loved ones, and their romantic situations... or lack thereof. Scientific studies suggest that couples who watch Romantic Comedies together and then discuss them and their feelings about them have a much higher "stay-together rate" than couples who enter traditional therapy. This fun and colourful rom-com movie guide can help you find the perfect film to match your mood, put you in a different mood, bring up things hard to talk about, or generally improve your romantic well-being. Selected from some of the best-loved and most popular Romantic Comedies, these classic films can show us Love Lessons about how to put and keep Passion, Idealism, Joy, and Dignity in our love relationships.
