Most young Americans dream of finding true love, getting married and living happily ever after. But the alarming divorce and domestic violence statistics tell a different story. Some statistics show that 49% of all marriages end in divorce and every 15 seconds a woman is severely assaulted by a husband or boyfriend.

Apart from the personal trauma, it exacts a staggering cost from Corporate America--employers lose almost $1.8 billion every year in absenteeism, lower productivity, higher turnover and health and safety costs associated with battered workers.

The problem is severe and progressively getting worse. A breakthrough technique that effectively provides a solution, is detailed by internationally acclaimed author
L. Ron Hubbard in his book, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health.
"It has been discovered that there are three kinds of love between woman and man: the first is covered under the law of affinity and is the affection with which mankind holds mankind; the second is sexual selection and is a true magnetism between partners; the third is compulsive 'love'…" writes Hubbard, who adds that the third type of love is dictated by irrationality. Hubbard continues, "The third kind we find in plenty: tabloid literature is devoted to it and its travails; it crams the courts with urgent pleas for divorce, with criminal acts and civil suits; it sends children weeping into the corner away from quarrels; and it launches from its broken homes broken young women and men."

Describing this kind of compulsive love as a “reactive mind partnership,” Hubbard explains what the reactive mind is and how it causes past relationships, fears and pain to push us into compulsive relationships where we keep choosing "Mr. or Mrs. Wrong" again and again and again.
We all have a reactive mind, says Hubbard, which is that hidden part of the mind where painful incidents and emotions are stored. This mind is the source of stress, anxiety and depression. A reactive mind marriage readily arises from choosing a partner who is, in fact, compulsively driven by some past incident--perhaps stemming from an abusive father, a mother who screams ceaselessly until appeased or a teacher whose spiteful tendencies turned the learning experience into a negative.
Dianetics outlines a simple yet effective therapy to handle the reactive mind. Once all past pains, fears and compulsions have been handled, that dream of living happily ever after can be attained--a happy marriage based on a natural and strongly affectionate admiration.
