Gillian realises that most readers will be very time poor. They are likely to be juggling families (often blended), careers, wider family, busy households, community commitments etc. She has therefore pulled together the best material and teachings into one place, so you don't have to spend hours researching subjects and comparing answers.


Chapter 1 to 5 focuses on the institution of marriage and the past baggage that you may not have quite let go of, or been able to deal with.


Chapters 6 - 10 are designed to help you understand yourself first, then your partner, your children and the wider family dynamics. Gillian believes this will give you one of the greatest returns in the short term. These chapters introduce you to understanding the six human needs that we all have, knowing our highest values, love language and how we fit into a finite number of personality types. Understanding these are fundamental to communication, love, and acceptance of why we do and think as we do.


Chapters 11 to 15 are about planning your new life together. Ensuring you and your partner consciously take actions to create a strong foundation that will create an ever deepening and fulfilling love to last a lifetime. Within these chapters are the seven heartbreakers of second relationships, and how to create love makers instead. These potential heartbreakers can wear away at the strongest relationships, no matter whether you believe you have found your soul-mate and nothing will rear you apart. Addressing the seven heartbreakers is so fundamental that it is the basis of the 'Love2Last Method' the coaching system employed to help couples to build and maintain an awesome life together.
