The Art of the Spark

The Art of the Spark: 12 Habits to Inspire Romantic Adventures is the only book of its type that focuses on a new way to think about relationships by making romance a way of life. When falling in love, every couple hopes for “happily ever after,” yet few achieve it. Only a small percentage of couples on their twentieth or fiftieth anniversary use the word “romantic” to describe their relationships.

Couples who practice these 12 simple habits can make romance a way of life, whether they are in a new relationship or one that’s measured in decades. It takes more than love and good intentions to keep the spark alive. This book ignites the spark.

Mary draws from clients’ stories, her workshops, and her own thirty-year marriage to illustrate these habits. Exercises help couples discover their Romance Profile and plan adventures.

Other experts have written about the work it takes to make relationships successful. Mary shows how romance makes relationships fun.
