Hi, everyone! On top of five professional 5-star reviews for my book, two more 5-star reviews from Increlo reviewers and a wonderful one from a business associate of my beloved's who then bought 2 more copies for those he knew needed it and the suggestion that it be taught in Catholic schools. It's #1 and #4 in two odd categories. It's also been translated into Chinese and Spanish and will be in the Hong Kong Book Fair catalog.

Had to share! Review Rating: 5 Stars - Congratulations on your 5-star review! Reviewed by Richard Prause for Readers’ Favorite If you want a truly realistic take on making a marriage work, you should read Belle Gayer’s Are Relationships For Suckers? Instead of serving up the same old generic dating advice, Gayer uses her own long-term marriage as a case study to show how couples can keep their families from drifting apart and facing heartbreak. The author is candid about what it actually means to share a life, proving that deep intimacy comes from being present every single day rather than waiting around for huge, dramatic romantic gestures. She looks closely at the actual day-to-day reality of sharing a space, showing how easily a great bond can slowly wither away if you let it run on cruise control and forget to express daily gratitude. Gayer provides a helpful framework for improving your relationship, showing that staying close requires consistent attention and a deep devotion to your partner. Ultimately, she changes the narrative to prove that a great partnership is a daily choice built on active care and real integrity. Are Relationships For Suckers? by Belle Gayer is a lifestyle and personal growth guide that stands out because it treats long-term compatibility with real maturity. I love how honest Gayer is about sexual compatibility, calling it the cement that locks a marriage foundation together over the decades. I really appreciate her breakdown of the three different layers of closeness, especially life intimacy, which is all about making joint decisions and carrying out domestic and financial chores as a team. Her real-life stories are fantastic, like how she and her husband have volunteered together at a senior home every single week for twenty years to keep their bond strong. She uses simple, engaging language to tackle challenging adult behaviors like emotional detachment, accountability, and keeping your cool when things get intense. By throwing out all the unrealistic expectations about love, this guide offers a great look at how two people can create a supportive, safe space together that withstands the challenges of time and aging.

Hello, all! So, I just spoke at Columbia University (it's a different story) and have been TOO TOO TOO busy, but I wanted to share praise from a podcast host for my latest podcast adventure: I wanted to share the wonderful feedback I got from my recent podcast host. I am deeply in the midst of promoting my just published, "ARE RELATIONSHIPS FOR SUCKERS?", based on 54 years with my beloved and the last 7 years sharing advice, insights and practical wisdom on Quora.com where I've accumulated over 34.5 million views and thousands of upvotes and compliments. Although she obviously used AI to write this email, it was still lovely: ""We're deeply grateful for your participation in the We Can Do It Women 60+ Community interview. Your profound insights about enduring love, communication, and surviving life's pressures together deeply resonated with our community. Key moments that stood out: - Your 54 years together through "magnificent and terrible" times—the terrible years mostly from outside pressures (financial, emotional, children's challenges), not from your relationship itself - - Surviving 10 years on welfare after the 2008 financial crisis destroyed Eli's financial industry career—and coming through stronger - - Understanding that romantic love has two stages: the honeymoon stage (lust, attraction, brain chemicals) and enduring love (work, commitment, communication on the deepest spiritual level) - - Your seven years answering relationship questions on Quora—27,000 posts with 34.5 million views—because you witnessed skyrocketing divorce rates and unnecessary heartbreak - - Your advice when relationships hit tough times: rededicate yourself, remember why you fell in love, remember your best moments together, take a weekend away without phones and reconnect - - Your powerful message: "If we can do it, so can you" - We have been sharing your interview across our platforms."
