Chapter Theme Song:.

"The End," The Beatles (T.L.Y.T.I.E.T.T.L.Y.M.).

"Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle."

-Amy Bloom

THE BEGINNING.

1001 In the beginning was the Word. And the word was Love.

Love. It is the single most important word in any language. It is the defining experience of what it means to be human. It is virtually the first (most welcoming!) word we hear when we are born; it is usually the last (most comforting) word we hear before we die; and it is the word we are obsessed with during every year in between.

Even though time passes and every couple creates a history together, love must still be re-created every day. If your yesterdays were great, they help make today even better. If your yesterdays weren't shot, they help motivate you to make today different.

Yes, you can turn a C- Relationship into an A+ Relationship. I've helped many couples achieve this goal. 1001 Ways To be Romantic can help you achieve that goal, too. This isn't the end-it's just the beginning of your life as a happier, more loving, and more loved person.

Love must be made real, brought alive in the world through action, thoughts, and deeds. In a word, romance.

When it comes to love, the secret is that there is no secret. Simply express love. There are at least 1001 ways to do it.

"Romance is the fuel that keeps love burning hot."

-Rusty Silvey

ABOUT THE AUTHOR.

Gregory J. P. Godek is an author and researcher, speaker and performer, husband and father. He was romantic by inclination long before it became an avocation, then a preoccupation, and then-finally-an occupation. Greg has been teaching his acclaimed Romance Classes for twenty years.

This book was written at the request of thousands of romantically starved women and romantically impaired men. This book works. It's not a deep, theoretical book, and it's not another cute "love" book. It's a practical, inspirational (and occasionally humorous) book.

Greg burst upon the national scene with 1001 Ways to Be Romantic in 1991 and became a national celebrity as his book became an instant classic. None had ever before combined such a huge number of practical tips with just the right amount of psychology. Greg has since taught romance on Oprah; counseled troubled couples on Donahue; shared tips on Montel; and launched the biggest book signing tour in the history of publishing by unveiling his custom-designed romance bus on Good Morning America.

1001 Ways to Be Romantic is a year-round bestseller with more than 1.5 million copies in print, it led to twelve additional books and a CD collection of romantic classical music, and it has been referenced by Jay Leno in his Tonight Show monologue. Greg has taught romance to the U.S. Army, to corporate groups, and to audiences around the world. Greg is a teacher and role model, not a therapist or theorist. He does not have a pet theory that he insists you accept. He is highly conscious of the diversity of human experience, the infinite variability of human personality, and the uniqueness of every individual. Greg believes that romance is about expressing love in thousands of ways that reflect your creativity and your partner's specialness.
