This book begins with a quiz for couples. The score of readers' test results will identify strengths or weaknesses in each of the Ten New Laws of Love. This analysis is a functional "Instant Relationship Self-Diagnosis". Based on the scores from the test, readers will be directed to one or more of the ten chapters, each chapter a synopsis of one of the Ten New Laws of Love. The relationship, being a combination and consequence of these strengths or weaknesses, can now be changed or reworked. Couples can now move forward with the awareness of what is and is not right for the relationship. In many ways this book is a primer for the longer and much more comprehensive The New Couple. The book serves as a mini-education of The Ten New Laws of Love, the principles that form the foundation of The New Couple.

The maxims such as "do something nice for each other every day", "be positive", "never go to bed on an argument" and "treat your spouse as you would a stranger" are hardly sufficient to heal the rifts and re-establish that all-important trust. All couples willing to replace "traditional" approaches to their love and relationship will transcend selfishness with a new sense of self-love, personal fulfilment and emotional intimacy that will give their lives the happiness and satisfaction so often missing.
