"Love Factually is a real treat: a smart, funny page-turner, full of heart and based on the best science. If you're at any stage of the dating process, you'll get the clear, doable steps you've needed all along to find and keep the right life partner.

"This book is a ray of hope in a world of cynicism. Even better, it's hope founded on fact. In my twenty-plus years writing about and helping couples find and keep good partnerships, I've seen an increase in fear, a major roadblock to love. Readers of this book will learn why holding onto hope is realistic, as well as how to move through their fears, create lasting love, and feel better about themselves in the process. Love Factually is a helping, healing journey."-Susan Page, author of If I'm So Wonderful, Why am I Still Single?

Duana Welch has written an inspiring, perceptive, truthful analysis about love, which will undoubtedly lead you to finding a better relationship, and hopefully what you are ultimately searching for." -Jeannie Assimos, Sr. Director, eHarmony
"If you want to transform your dating life into an effective search that significantly increases your odds of meeting the right person, Love Factually is a must read. Dr. Duana Welch is like having a kind, gentle, funny, and firm love guide/guru beside you as you traverse the rocky trail of being able to fully embrace a healthy, deeply fulfilling, satisfying and enriching relationship. I recommend this book to my clients, and to men and women who are serious about investing in themselves in order to become, and attract, the person they want and deserve." -Carrie Lynne Pietig, LPC-S, using Gottman Method Couples Therapy in private practice
"Love Factually is like having Malcolm Gladwell and Brené Brown gene-splice with Dear Abby and The Rules. The Steps here are fantastic, and it's a great, fun read we highly recommend!"-Ellen Fein & Sherrie Schneider, authors of The Rules, All the Rules, and Not Your Mother's Rules\
Human nature hasn’t changed. Dating has!
Dr. Duana Welch and science are back to help.
Still the only fact-based book to take men and women from before-you-meet until you commit, Love Factually blends heart, soul, and science in this fully revised and updated edition. Read the international bestseller Dr. David Buss calls “gripping, science-based, and brimming with actions to improve your love life.” In a genre long on opinion and short on proof, Love Factually puts all the evidence in your corner for the most important and daunting task of our lives: finding and keeping The One.\
