5 Must Follow Rules to Attract and Keep Your Ideal Mate: Spoiler Alert: Self Love is the Key by Marcia Gage

“5 Must Follow Rules to Attract and Keep Your Ideal Mate” is a revision of Gage’s first book from 2011, “Soulmate Hunting After 40.” 5 Must Follow Rules considers the lives of today’s singles of all ages and what they seek in a romantic relationship. Gage calls on her relationships, management and training experience, and education in Psychology to combine the merits of self-love with action and attitudinal shifts in a book that is easy to follow and implement. A central tenet of the book is to demonstrate that even in a fast-paced and technology-focused society, people don’t need to settle for loneliness. Gage uses scientific data, personal experiences, and antidotes to lay out her five basic rules for attracting friendship and love. The first and most essential rule is to stop trying (so hard). The first rule introduces the concept of self-love, and the remaining four rules expand on that concept with a discussion on self-respect. The book also points out the importance of open-mindedness, cooperation, compromise, and selflessness. The five rules apply to those seeking new relationships and those looking to help a struggling partnership or enhance one that may need a spark. Beyond the five rules, the book includes appendixes on practicing self-love and meeting people. Anyone can put the straightforward information in this short but poignant book into action. The book doesn’t promise a quick fix to finding love and happiness but serves as a practical guide in pursuing self-love and meaningful and loving relationships.

Biography

Hello! My name is Marcia Gage. I have spent most of my life surrounded by books. Subsequently, I learned at an early age to love both reading and writing.

I have an MS in Psychology, and I have years of experience working in management and development and advising for higher education. Throughout my studies in psychology, I have written a number of papers focusing on eating disorders, health and wellness and alternative medicine.

Other interests include travel and experiencing different cultures, music, reading, food, gardening, politics and baseball. I enjoy incorporating my knowledge of classical music, herbalism, gardening, politics, travel and Psychology into my writing.

I am the author of several books including ‘5 Must Follow Rules to Keep and Attract Your Ideal Mate,’ ‘Nana and Bad Grandpa Move to Mexico: The Big Book, ‘My Travel Journal: With 30 Inspirational Travel Quotes,’ short story, ‘Secrets of the Asian Lady,’ and more.

I am recently widowed and now live part-time in Minneapolis and part-time in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. My late husband and I lived in Mexico full-time for over three years. During that time, we co-authored a blog which is now a book, ‘Mexico Bound Boomers: Paupers in Paradise.’

I believe that good writing consists of accuracy, creativity and in many cases, a sense of humor. My goal is to inform, inspire and entertain my audience.
