KEEPING LOVE, LAUGHTER, AND ROMANCE IN YOUR LIFE!
COUPLES SHARE THEIR "SECRETS" FOR NURTURING THE ENCHANTMENT.

(Scottsdale, AZ) --- Despite all the talk about dysfunctional relationships, couples continue to fill their lives with the beauty and warmth of romance everyday. They do so by finding new and fulfilling ways to keep the fires glowing, drawing on The Book of Love, Laughter & Romance, written by Barbara and Michael Jonas, and now in its seventh printing.

The book provides practical and exciting ideas for addressing some of relationships toughest
challenges --

  • How to keep your relationship exciting - Everyday!
  • How busy working couples find time for romance;
  • How to energize a relationship that's in one of those inevitable "flat spots;
  • Creative ways that parents can find the time and "space" for romance;
  • How to get your partner to enthusiastically try something new.

Unlike books by relationship "gurus" filled with "musts" and "shoulds," The Book of Love, Laughter & Romance is full of stories, ideas and suggestions from real-life couples who face a variety of pressures, including work, children, money and lack of time. Yet, these couples continue to keep their relationships satisfying and exciting by not losing sight of the important role that romance plays in their lives.

The Jonases have also developed the popular romantic games for couples An Enchanting Evening®, Fan the Flames®, Romantic Sensations!® and Two To Tango®, A Couple's Wish Box. The response from people who have played their games has been nothing short of astounding.

In addition to the thousands of couples who have written the Jonases about their experiences with the games, the Jonases have also received an outpouring of romantic suggestions and ideas from couples who keep their relationship fresh and exciting.

"To expand and enhance the material that we had collected, we then went back to the couples who had written to us and asked them how else they celebrate romance," says co-author Barbara Jonas.

The Jonases interviewed hundreds of couples -- men and women of all ages, in all types of relationships, in different stages of their lives: dating, engaged, recently married, married for many years, with or without children. The insights that these couples share are as varied as the couples themselves.

The Jonas' kept hearing again and again that romance is a way of making "everyday" special. "It's not so much what you do, it's how it's done that makes it special and memorable," observes Michael.

By reading this book, couples will find out that anyone can be romantic, at any time. You're not limited to roses and candy. It's anything that says:

  • I love you
  • I care about you
  • I appreciate you

"For one person, appreciation is a bunch of daisies on a breakfast tray; for another, a much needed massage. You can surprise your partner by cleaning his/her car -- or simply leave a note that says 'I Love You, ' Michael added."

Their stories will charm, enchant, captivate and delight. Most importantly, The Book of Love, Laughter & Romance will remind the reader how wonderful and simple romance can be, with suggestions that are practical and affordable. For example:

"We were on vacation in Michigan. Without city lights to drown them out, the night sky looked like a sea of stars. We bought a constellation guide and every night we tried to identify a few more. And, although most configurations looked the same to me, with our heads close and our arms around each other, it didn't matter if the Big Dipper looked like a bear or an old saucepan. Then one night it happened. The Northern Lights burst across the sky. I'd never seen them before - it was a stunning sight. Whenever I see stars I think of those nights, and the feeling of being close comes rushing."
