The 9 Expressions of Love: How and Why We Choose Our Lovers

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what drives your attractions and desires inside of relationships? Do you attract the same types of people over and over again or find yourself inside of relationship dynamics that are virtually indistinguishable from one another? The 9 Expressions of Love: How & Why We Choose Our Lovers offers insights into the dynamics of human attraction, partner selection, and what it takes for us to navigate our feelings and desires once we're inside a committed relationship. Do you tend to play a role that's more submissive, dominant, or neutral when interacting with your partners? Does your energy inside of a relationship manifest itself as more masculine, feminine, or androgynous in nature? These are all factors that can be explained by your specific expression of love. Meaning, there's a way that we prefer to love and be loved and these preferences play out in how we position ourselves inside of our relationships. In The 9 Expressions of Love: How & Why We Choose Our Lovers, we explore the nine ways people tend to express love inside their relationships as well as the energetic dynamics that impact how we choose our partners. Yes, there are nine different expressions of love and they shape the very foundation of our relationships.
