According to psychologists Alex and Naomi Quenk, the popular image of true love we accept as the ideal is only one of 10 different kinds of equally valid relationships, all of which constitute "true love". Elaborating on Carl Jung's "soul images" of love, the Quenks describe four profoundly different kinds of lovers based on these images -- Mercurial Lovers, Romantic Lovers, Innocent Lovers, and Steadfast Lovers.

Showing how each of these lovers experience their relationships in compellingly different ways, Ten True Loves illuminates the points of harmony and conflict natural for each. Lively and thoughtful, this book shows how to identify what kind of lover you are, what is most meaningful in your relationship, how to interpret the loving responses of your partner, how to respond to disagreements, and how to achieve a lasting relationship.
