Alex Freeman and his wife Adrienne Jewel had moved to the new community. They built a home on a small plot of land that was enclosed by stucco walls. The house itself was a Spanish-style home with white stucco, a red ceramic roof, and some arches. It was beautifully manicured with lavish landscaping, a fountain, and a pool in the backyard. The inside was just as impressive.

Inside their home were cathedral ceilings, plush carpets, and spacious rooms filled with leather furniture. The interior was professionally decorated and it looked great. Despite the intense outdoor heat, the inside was comfortable due to a combination of central air conditioning and ceiling fans.

Near the large window in the living room sat a player piano. It was playing a piano sonata by Schubert, a pleasurable melody Alex enjoyed while sitting on the couch reading a novel. Adrienne walked into the room and sat next to him.

Adrienne said, "Who composed this music?"

"Schubert." Alex replied.

"I like this music; it’s so pleasurable." Adrienne said.

Alex nodded in agreement and continued reading. Adrienne snuggled next to Alex like a cat curls up with its master. The two sat quietly listening to the music. Alex continued reading while Adrienne’s mind wandered.

She said, "Alex, I want to give a lecture on romantic love relationships. Do you think it would be successful?"

"Yes, you certainly know what you’re doing when it comes to romance. You have an artistic brain, and that blends nicely with romantic love. Why don’t you call Lea Parker-Storm and ask her to add your lecture to the schedule of events? This way your lecture will get promoted throughout the community and to people in nearby towns." Alex said.

"I think I will, but first I have to create the lecture." Adrienne replied.

"What will you include in it?" asked Alex.

"Well, I’d like to discuss the requirements for romantic love. You know, what each partner needs to bring to a relationship in order to create lasting romance." Adrienne replied.

She thought for a moment and said, "Honey, I couldn’t discuss everything in one evening; that would overload the listeners’ attention. But it could be a multi-week course. I’ll have to talk with Lea to see what timeframe is available at the lecture hall."

"Please tell me in advance when you’re going to give your lecture; I want to keep my evenings open for this one." Alex said.

"Okay Alex." Adrienne replied.

Later that evening Adrienne went to her home-office to make notes on her computer. She listed and then edited several points she wanted to discuss in her lecture. She refined her lecture notes until they read as follows:

When Adrienne finished writing her lecture notes, she closed the lights in her office and went to the bedroom. She climbed into bed, kissed Alex, and fell asleep with her arm around him. Both slept peacefully through the night in their new home.

Adrienne gave her lecture a few weeks later. She attracted many single men and women along with couples who were having difficulties in their relationships. Adrienne was surprised but glad to see so many young people at her lecture. She figured they wanted to get a good start in their love life, and so attended her lecture.

The lecture was divided into two weeks. She lectured on a Wednesday evening for a couple hours and then finished the talk the following Wednesday evening. The entire talk lasted four hours, which included two question-and-answer periods.

The lecture hall was packed both nights. At the end of the talk, people approached Adrienne to thank her for providing sound advice on romantic love. Overall, Adrienne’s lecture was a success and attendees asked if she would give any future lectures.

Sensing an opportunity, Adrienne decided to give four lectures per year. She taped one of these and began selling the taped lecture. Her tapes sold well. Then she turned her lecture into a small book about romantic love and contacted several publishers. The large publishers rejected her book proposal, but Adrienne knew that people were hungry for this knowledge as evidenced by her lectures and tapes that sold well. So Adrienne hired a literary agent who acted as a liaison between Adrienne and the large book publishers. Sure enough, Adrienne eventually got a contract with a book publishing company. Her book on romantic love was published a year later and the first printing sold quickly.

Later, her book was translated into several foreign languages and it became a bestseller in the field of love relationships. The key to Adrienne’s success was that she was motivated by her topic and she knew her market very well. She was able to sell books at her own lectures. And when she did interviews to promote her book, she knew precisely how to motivate people to buy her book.

Adrienne Jewel became known as the ‘Love Doctor’. By applying the principles of her teachings, her own love relationship with Alex Freeman grew better all the time. Adrienne’s work increased the quality of many people’s relationships. Hundreds of couples were grateful to Adrienne for her valuable work.
