What can we humans possibly have to learn from prairie voles? Aren't they just small rodents living in the American Midwest? Well, prairie voles have the most passionate long-term relationships on the planet. They are programmed for success, demonstrating commitment to their life partners, excellent parenting skills and healthy sex lives - and they have a lot to teach us about building relationships that last. Andrew G. Marshall combines new scientific research into the voles' success, the latest developments in human neuroscience and his twenty-five years' experience as a marital therapist to create a six-step programme that puts lovemaking at the heart of a strong relationship. He shows how you can: * Talk about sex with your partner without getting defensive * Embrace the changes that lovemaking undergoes throughout life * Rekindle desire * Turn routine sex into sensuous lovemaking
