As a teenager, Reta Faye Walker had an unusual passion—observing couples the way others watched sports. She analyzed their interactions, hoping their love would endure. But when relationships fell apart, she felt the heartbreak along with them.
Now, with 25 years of experience as a therapist, Walker is more determined than ever to help couples strengthen their connections. Her solution? A book designed to guide partners toward lasting love:
📖 Guide to Lasting Love – A Therapist’s 21-Day Program to a Fulfilling Relationship
Why This Book?
“As a therapist, I saw that relationships didn’t fail because couples lacked love,” Walker explains. “They failed because partners struggled to say and show what was needed at the right time.”
To address this, she created conversation scripts, playbooks, and action plans—practical tools to help couples overcome disconnection and miscommunication.
Writing a book was never her goal. She initially compiled notes for herself, tracking which techniques worked best in her practice. Over time, clear themes emerged, leading to the 21-day structure that became the foundation of the book.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Lasting Love
The book is structured into 21 days, offering a clear and practical roadmap for couples. Some key chapters include:
✅ Day 1: Creating a Purpose-Driven Relationship
✅ Day 2: Finding Hope
✅ Day 3: Cultivating a Growth Mindset
✅ Day 4: Responding to Signals for Attention
Each chapter tackles the common barriers to intimacy, helping couples reignite their connection and avoid the pitfalls that make relationships feel stagnant.
For Those Wondering: “Is This the One?”
A major theme of the book is communication. Walker helps readers navigate some of the most pressing relationship questions, such as:
- “Will this relationship last?”
- “How do I know if they’re the ONE?”
She explains why we seek partners who help us heal, how to overcome obstacles in love, and what it takes to create lasting change in a relationship.
Who Will Benefit Most?
While the book is valuable for couples at any stage, it is particularly tailored to those aged 35-50.
“At this stage, people have a deeper awareness of their struggles. This book is written to fit their busy lifestyles, providing actionable steps and done-for-you communication scripts,” says Walker.
