Couples coach Linda Carroll talks about her new book Love Skills: The Keys to Unlocking Lasting, Wholehearted Love. Falling in love is never a straight line to “happily ever after.” Relationships go through seasons of change, renewal, darkness, and light. Lind says “Contrary to conventional wisdom, people don’t meet, fall in love, overcome a few trials, and then live happily ever after — nor do conflict and dissatisfaction between partners necessarily mean a couple is headed for Splitsville.”



“When you know how to navigate the storms, conflict can lead to understanding and even closeness that makes your relationship even better than it was before,” writes Carroll. “In most cases, the Love Skills process will help you to rediscover the original promise of your relationship and offer you a road map for traveling this rewarding and challenging path.”


Love Skills offers specific, effective solutions to the most common struggles that couples face both the small troubles and the more serious dilemmas of communication gridlock, betrayal, and seemingly intractable differences. Carroll skillfully draws on her own marriage of thirty-five-years to guide readers through challenging issues like loss of sexual energy, why what once seemed endearing in their partner is now annoying, and the many ways that family history and personality type can wreak havoc in relationships.



We talk about

Love is a feeling – loving is a skill
The chemistry of love
How to select a partner well
The importance of self-love first
What is your attachment style
Different types of listening
How to communicate effectively
COVID confinements and love relationships


Linda Carroll is the author of Love Skills and Love Cycles.
