Your “MEETING YOUR MATCH” Chapter 1

Hello!

I am very pleased to be able to give you the entire Chapter 1 of Meeting Your Match: Cracking the code to successful relationships with my compliments!

I hope that reading Chapter 1 is the beginning of you understanding that Love is Not Enough! Love + Self-knowledge + Partner-Knowledge + Essential Relationship Success Skills = a lasting relationship!

All the best,

Dr. Jackie

Your Ideal Match is out there! Here’s how to meet each other
and build a healthy and lasting relationship step-by-step!

I’m sure you believe that love and intimacy are important or you would not be interested in reading Chapter 1 of Meeting Your Match! But have you ever received reliable information or education about committed relationships? Most people are looking for “the one,” but usually the journey of discovery is random.

As with most self-help books Meeting Your Match has a guiding philosophy:

It’s NOT about how to snare the perfect mate – there is no perfect mate. It’s not about the joys of being single – and how to ‘play the field.’ It’s not about chemistry, although that is what distinguishes love relationships from friendships.

It’s about having the relationship you deserve and how to prepare for lasting love no matter what your current circumstances are; whether you have never married, are divorced, widowed, are single or are in a committed partnership.

If you’re ready to identify what you are looking for in a partner; ready to know yourself so that you can recognize the right life partner; and ready to take the steps to build the kind of relationship you long to have then Meeting Your Match is your guide to making relationships work and navigating the complex world of dating.

It is my hope that this book will be a resource you will refer to many times and share with those you care most about; and come to regard me as a trusted advisor, in what I promise will be a worthwhile and rewarding journey.

The skills and approaches you’ll discover on this journey towards a lasting relationship will help you to have fun dating and to continue to have a rich and rewarding relationship with someone who is right for you.

You may have heard the old adage, ‘Life is an inside job.’ The dating process and co-creating your best love life for the rest of your life starts with you knowing yourself, inside and out; identifying what you are looking for in a partner; and learning, practicing and mastering the essential relationship success skills.

“Dr. Jackie Black has totally cracked the Code to Successful Relationships! The topics she covers: setting boundaries, making sense of the dating process… give a terrific insight from a truly proficient professional and one of my favorite professional relationship go-to experts.”

“Meeting Your Match is not for the casual dater, but for men and women who are looking to develop the self-awareness and intimacy skills necessary to build a successful, rewarding relationship that will last a lifetime.”

Nicole Beland
Deputy Editor of Women’s Health Magazine


“Meeting Your Match by Dr. Jackie Black deals with a subject, dating, that is all too often given short shrift, and treated all too lightly, yet it is so important. Dating is a source of angst for so many out there who simply long to have the luxury and comfort of what could ultimately be a lasting relationship. In a way that is intimate, reassuring, and anecdotal, Dr. Black allows us to empower ourselves with the truth, compelling us to ask questions about ourselves and those whom we want in our lives. Not only is this book a guide to how to make a relationship work, but it teaches us how to extricate ourselves honestly and gracefully when the relationship is not working.

As Dr. Black states right in the beginning about dating, ‘The problem is that few people will sit down and think about it before embarking on the dating circuit. And that’s what it often becomes — a merry-go-round — and the faster it goes, the harder it is to get off.’ Dr. Black helps us to seize the brass ring, but to think carefully while we’re on the carousel.”

“If you need practical advice about relationships this is your book. Dr Jackie shares her experiences and insights with the rest of us and it is a book brimming with ideas, wisdom and warmth; offering support in helping you identify what you are looking for in a partner and in a relationship, meet new people and navigate the world of dating.

Meeting your Match will give you the help you need to resolve your own problems and bring positive change to your life. It will leave you with a better understanding of how relationships really work, why they can fail and what you need to do to help them to succeed. It will help you to know yourself so that you can recognize the right life partner for you.”

Ariana Gee
Author, Be Your Own Love Coach


“In the 42 years I have been a psychotherapist I have read many books on how to have a successful relationship. Most of them are written by people who tell us how ‘it should be,’ not the way it is.

Dr. Jackie Black has written a book that comes from her years of experience, both personal and professional. She not only tells it how like it is, but more importantly tells us what we can do to have the kind of relationships we all long to have.

This book will be of interest to men and women alike. If you haven’t given up on love, this is a must read. If you’re not sure you can really have the relationship of your dreams, Meeting Your Match will give you renewed hope in the future.

I can’t recommend this book highly enough.”

Jed Diamond
Author, Male Menopause and The Irritable Male Syndrome


“Dr. Jackie’s book is a self-help manual that I would like to have recommended to the hundreds of singles, premarital couples, and those requiring ‘booster shots’ I have met with over the last four decades. It is now theirs—and mine to share with others! The moral and spiritual homework necessary to sound character-building/checking for both pre-dating and ongoing relationship are alone worth the read.

Matching philosophy with psychology, the author challenges the interested reader to know thyself in a way unmatched by many of the more sugar-coated manuals on date-coaching. In that spirit, added to the many helpful maxims by others enriching the text, I would add one of the author’s own: ‘Honor yourself and your choice by telling the truth about where you are presently in your life.’ Integrity in all things—beginning with the integer One/Me/I!

Rabbi Mel Silverman

“As a practitioner, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to find and nurture a successful relationship. Dr. Jackie truly understands both individuals and relationships. I love her honest, gentle, straightforward style and practical, insightful exercises. As a writer, she is my go-to resource for articles dealing with relationships and communication. This particular book is chock full of real life strategies anyone can use to overcome the relationship barriers they’ve struggled with in the past.”

“The reader is immediately drawn into Meeting Your Match in the first chapter by having to consider ‘What is Dating?’ and ‘Why are you dating?’ A fast introduction to a very important topic.”

Dr. Karen Gail Lewis

Author, With or Without A Man: Single
Women Taking Control of Their Lives


“The whole world runs on and through relationships. It is the only constant in our lives. Dr. Jackie’s book teaches how to make the significance of relationship an enjoyable, viable and realistic experience. This gem of a book gives us the practical tools and inspiring ideas for ever greater success and worthiness in all relationships, but especially in the special ones in our lives.”

Rev. Arlette Poland
Author, Professor,Attorney, Minister


“This book is comprehensive, useful, and inspiring. Lessons or guidance on dating is as important as learning how to walk. In my experience as a therapist, the book contains information that many people have not had an opportunity to learn. This has left them without a structure for dating, which often leads to unnecessary pain and anguish. If it were up to me, your book would be used as a high school text for a mandatory class on ‘Successful Relationships.’ The book contains priceless information that adolescents need at the onset of their romantic life. Of course your book could be helpful for any age since it’s never to late to learn.”
