Reach for Love: A Unique Approach to Finding a
Lasting Relationship
http://reachforlove.net/

Mark Strauss will discuss the main philosophies and themes of his Reach For
Love Seminar Series. The research that led him to create the Reach For
Love materials will be reviewed and his unique perspective of singlehood will be
introduced. Participants will be invited to share what being single means to them
intoday’s world.
Mark B. Strauss, M.S.
Mark B. Strauss, M.S. holds an Interdisciplinary Master of Science degree in Clinical
Psychology and Family Studies. His main focus of study explored why couples get divorced,
which concluded two general reasons: one that once married couples tend to differentiate
and the other that singles get married for the wrong reasons. Focusing on the latter, Strauss
began by interviewing couples whose marriages had happily endured the test of time
(upwards of 40 years). He noted certain common characteristics and created a
psychological scale to measure "Intimate Awareness." Strauss then designed a
questionnaire based on this scale and distributed it to 450 American singles between 19 and
40 years old. His results, which became the basis of his Master’s Thesis concluded that his
subjects had little awareness of how to build long-lasting intimate relationships. Following
this he developed the Reach For Love Intimacy Toolkit and then created a structured
program to help singles prepare themselves for such relationships. In 2003, he created
the Reach For Love Intimacy Awareness Institute and has since led hundreds of seminars
on finding true and lasting love.
