Understanding Love is the Key to Making it Last

Falling in love seems easy but it’s actually quite a complicated process. So much of what makes someone irresistible is the result of unseen forces picked up over your lifetime. You’re attracted to this person, not that one. You have a type. The same things go right, and wrong, in your relationships. While it may seem that an invisible hand is at work, there is an explanation.



Ira Rabois, a long-time teacher at the Lehman Alternative School in Ithaca, NY and the author of Compassionate Critical Thinking: How Mindfulness, Creativity, Empathy and Socratic Questioning Can Transform Teaching, is here to simplify the mystery of lasting love.
