-- Expert reveals easy-to-use 'Mate Map' system

Relationship expert Steven Sacks develops the Mate Map system to help singles find someone special and to help people in yet-to-be-married relationships determine if they're with "the one."

When making the most important decision of your life--choosing the one person you plan to spend the rest of your life with--you want to make sure you get it right. To ensure people end up in a long-term relationship with the right person, relationship expert Steven Sacks has introduced his proven technique.

Years in the making, the Mate Map system was created to help people who are either single or are in a relationship and trying to decide whether the person they are with is "the one." In the United States alone, there are 53 million people between the ages of 20 and 49 who fit this description. Sacks makes his new relationship tool available to this audience with his book, The Mate Map: The Right Tool for Choosing the Right Mate (Banner, $24.95).

"The right relationship starts with the right person," says Sacks. "The reason why so many relationships don't last is because the two people weren't compatible enough in the first place."

Sacks says that in order to achieve a fulfilling relationship that lasts, we need to make sure we are highly compatible with a potential mate in three essential areas--Magnetism, Love, and Personality Fit. The Mate Map guides us through a series of lists and exercises to help us make a thorough assessment of these "Relationship Essentials." The result is a customized Mate Map.

"During the early stages of dating, we often discover that a potential mate has at least a few negative attributes. Our challenge is deciding whether to chalk these up to the fact that nobody is perfect, or whether these negative attributes are major areas of incompatibility," says Sacks. "Anyone with a customized Mate Map can make these critical decisions."

Besides showing how to recognize and evaluate the Relationship Essentials, the Mate Map system offers further guidance for choosing a mate:
- Keep the emotional side and the rational side in balance
- Be wary of extreme differences and extreme similarities
- Know your "dealbreakers" up front
- Give physical attraction and chemistry a chance to develop

A system that helps people to choose the right mate is long overdue. Over the past two decades our society has made great advances in many fields, such as healthcare and technology, but we haven't made any major improvements in the area of relationships," Sacks observes. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, while 4 million Americans are getting married each year, another 2.2 million Americans are getting divorced. This consistent trend over the past fifteen years shows that the lure of relationships remains high, but our success rate remains low.

The Mate Map's effectiveness was validated during a study supervised by psychologist and statistician Dr. James A. Twaite. The study proved that the Mate Map increases people's confidence and ability to choose the right mate. Furthermore, it found that four out of five participants recommend the Mate Map to their friends.

Industry experts believe in the power of the Mate Map as well. Endorsements for The Mate Map range from relationship experts such as Drs. Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks, best-selling authors of Conscious Loving, to Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator, #1 New York Times best-selling series Chicken Soup for the Soul®. In the foreword by Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil, best-selling author of Make Up, Don't Break Up, she states, "The Mate Map is the most effective tool for determining compatibility and measuring what's important in a relationship that I've ever seen."

Steven Sacks is the creator of the Mate Map system and a noted expert on mate selection. Mr. Sacks is also a speaker and relationship coach. He splits his time between his hometown of New York City and Durham, North Carolina, with his girlfriend--the first Mate Map success story.
