I love this article in the New York Times about how to fall in love. I love it because it describes exactly what I see day after day in my office. I often see couples in distress when they arrive but slowly with each passing session and week, I see them often start to choose to love. It might be that they choose love for themselves. If it a match that is not working that can be a wonderful thing to see. I have seen people realize the match is not good and that by loving themselves more they will separate from this partner and find more fulfillment somewhere else. I have also seen couples choose to work on their relationships, choose to know each other, and ultimately choose to love. It is not always a smooth or easy process but it is certainly beautiful to behold.
