  Five years ago the occasional couple would present themselves at Andrew G. Marshall's therapy practice after one partner had confessed: 'I love you, but I'm not in love with you.' These couples might describe each other as their best friend, or admit that they had become more like a brother and sister, except that most were still having sex. In essence, the partnership had become defined by companionship rather than passion, and companionship was no longer enough. In recent years, however, more and more couples have come to Andrew with the same problem - almost one in four. Discovering an absolute lack of research into the 'I love you but ' issue, marriage counsellor and writer Andrew G. Marshall devised his own unique and highly successful approach. In I Love You But I'm Not in Love With You, he shares his insights into what brings a couple to this pivotal point and the seven steps that can take the relationship a step forward.By looking at how couples communicate, argue, show love and affection, foster a sense of play, take responsibility, give and learn, he offers a reassuring and empowering map for how two individuals can better understand themselves and each other, and forge a bond that is stronger than ever. He says, 'the most common question people ask when they hear about my work is, Is it really possible to fall back in love? My answer is always the same: an emphatic yes.' I Love You But I'm Not in Love With You explains how.

  How do you fall back in love? This was the underlying problem of one in four couples seeking help from relationship therapist Andrew G. Marshall. They described their problem as: 'I love you but I'm not in love with you'. Noticing how widespread the phenomenon had become, he decided to look more closely. Why were these relationships becoming defined more by companionship than by passion, and why was companionship no longer enough? From his research Andrew has devised his own unique programme. By looking at how a couple communicate, argue, share love, take responsibility, give and learn he offers in seven steps a reassuring and empowering map for how two individuals can better understand themselves, strengthen their bond and recover that lost magic.
