Ten Laws of Lasting Love

By following 10 ``Miracle Marriage'' laws, those who have lost the rapture of first love can now evolve ``a new feeling of mutual devotion . . . beyond their wildest dreams,'' asserts popular TV-show family therapist Pearsall ( Super Marital Sex ). Troubled couples of all genders and ages, he tells us, must make a choice between ``low'' and ``high'' monogamy, each type with its own goals and laws--e.g., the ``undirected attachment'' of the ``low'' binds a child to its mother; and the ``high'' consists of a ``reciprocal . . . loving unit of one,'' following the transcendental laws of the universe. The text is overloaded with ``how-to'' headings, catch-phrases, and questionable shortcuts to marital paradise, as well as flights of scientific fancy that seek unlikely parallels--to wit, the ``Oneness'' among fellow creatures or cosmic and quantum principles as displayed in a specactular solar eclipse in Maui. So handle this book, weary marrieds, with skepticism. (May)
