The fourth edition of this trusted text preserves the personal appeal of the subject matter and vigorous standards of scholarship that made the earlier editions so successful. It presents the key findings on intimate relationships, the major theoretical perspectives, and some of the current controversies in the field. The authors illustrate the relevance of close relationship science to readers' everyday lives, encouraging thought and analysis. The 4th edition contains more than 700 new references, including new coverage of online dating, fMRI studies of love, and mate poaching. More illustrations, tables and figures add up to a fresher, thoroughly updated, new-and-improved text.

I loved how readable this book was - the content was easy to grasp, remember, and apply. I did read the fifth edition, a somewhat older one. It could be that the authors fixed this in newer editions, but I hated how marriage was given superiority among all types of romantic relationships - divorce was seen as the most negative aspect of romantic dyads, which to me seemed disregarding concerning break-ups of committed, long-term relationships that weren't "officialized". Maybe it's just the wording, maybe it's the author's bias slipping through. I am hoping it is the first, and that it is jut due to me reading an older edition...but I have to say, as a textbook, it is well thought out and well written!
