      Willard F. Harley, Jr., renowned for his marriage books, including the best-seller His Needs, Her Needs, now addresses singles seeking meaningful, lasting relationships in his latest work. He emphasizes that the foundation of a successful, lifelong partnership lies in identifying whether individuals are Freeloaders, Renters, or Buyers. Freeloaders, akin to uncooperative roommates, contribute little effort to the relationship. Renters approach relationships tentatively, offering care only under favorable conditions or until a better option arises. In contrast, Buyers view relationships as permanent and exclusive commitments. The book guides readers in assessing their Romantic Relationship Attitude and provides actionable strategies to encourage Freeloaders and Renters to evolve into committed Buyers. It features a Personal History Questionnaire to enhance self-awareness and understanding of partners, alongside Four Guidelines for Successful Negotiation to help couples maintain Buyer behaviors. These resources aim to empower singles to forge satisfying, exclusive, and enduring romantic unions that can stand the test of time.
