Boot Camp For Lovers: Make Love Last Forever The Survival Course for Relationships Smith & Jones Review by A.E. Winn In an age when even our most personal of partnerships have become as easily disposable as worn-once clothes or three day old lettuce; Smith & Jones fly to the rescue with this playful, refreshing and witty guide to sustaining a loving long term relationship. Used as a navigational aid, a step by step guide, or an occasional reference manual, this commonsensical approach to achieving and sustaining a solid, intimate, loving and mutually supportive partnership has been tried and tested by Smith & Jones themselves. And they are living proof that it works! Driven by their enduring love for each other and the unshakeable will to commit to staying together through the potholes and ­­pitfalls of their 36 year union, these avant-garde veterans of the battlefield of love, have set down a practical, workable and easy to follow system which if adhered to, should signal the beginning of the end for the throw-away relationship. Undoubtedly an invaluable tool for those already committed to or hoping to commit to a long term relationship, the Boot Camp’s guiding principles are an indispensable aid to lasting security in any relationship where the main motivation is love; romantic, familial or otherwise - the only pre-requisite to success being a mutual commitment to commit. Their prose is pithy and to the point, lively and easy to read with an underlying hint of pig-tail pulling mischief. Style and substance combine smoothly and clearly to convey the Boot Camp’s serious message: that if you’re willing to commit, work together and follow the instructions, your relationship will not only survive but will be enriched, enhanced and enduring. So, at a time when humanity is constantly pummelled with images of the newest, best, latest; when we’re directly and subliminally bombarded with messages to replace, update, upgrade our homes, our cars and our relationships, with a precisely drawn map of the road to relationship recovery Smith & Jones remind us how and why we should be looking to ourselves and our loved ones for the harmony and peace we really need. Boot Camp for Lovers provides a welcome antidote to relationship consumerism. Read it – and stay twogether!
