Story5 out of 5 stars 4
The key to starting a successful, lifelong relationship, according to Dr. Harley, lies in discovering whether you (and your partner) are freeloaders, renters, or buyers. Much like freeloading roommates who won't pay their fair share, relationship freeloaders are unwilling to put much effort into caring for someone. Renters are people who view a relationship as tentative and are only willing to provide care as long as terms are fair or until they find something better. The ideal partner, a buyer, is someone who regards a relationship as he or she does a home - permanent and exclusive.

Great advice for engaged or dating couples!
Dr Harley is fantastic, and although a bit repetitive, explains quite clearly the keys for creating and maintaining marital bliss! FYI, it is intended to be somewhat interactive, so I recommend listening together, not separately.
