Relationship coach and university instructor Dr. Nura Mowzoon explores and explodes the myths of modern relationships: love at first sight; sexual compatibility; living together first. Presenting studies that counter the conventional wisdom about contemporary couples, she maps a path toward the spiritual side of love and marriage, and the practices that foster real and lasting love. She advises us to “take an intentional approach” to knowing one another’s actual character—instead of the usual dating practices of interrogating each other, going to dinner or watching a movie.

    Dear Nura,
    we watched your presentation together with our 16years old daughter and we liked it very much.
    On top it's quite youth friendly and the messages shared are strong and really close to real live.
    Well done!

    Lovely presentation, perfect delivery, and your main messages are of course highly valid. However, this marks a course for future research: you know better than I do that most of your research "findings" are correlative rather than cause-and-effect, and may therefore mean something quite different than we've interpreted. This is higher, the other is lower - maybe both are being driven by a third factor? Thanks - I look forward to seeing your own research, when you are the next John Gottman!
