ROMANCES & PRACTICALITIES

Lindsay Roth

An accessible dating, communication, and relationship guide.
With couples distracted from one another more than ever, and online culture preventing real connection in the lead up to physical intimacy, television producer and author Lindsay Jill Roth found herself bread-crumbed, orbited, submarined, zombied, and ghosted how was she ever supposed to find love in a Hunger Games-style dating scene? How was anyone supposed to find true love? Where was The Guide? This turns out to be the question of our time - and where the Romances & Practicalities system comes into play. Developed by the author and a cohort of hundreds of beta-testers, Romances & Practicalities is an accessible system that calls upon social-science and dozens of subject-matter authorities to create a way for couples to establish, or re-establish, real and lasting intimacy on common ground through effective communication. Romances & Practicalities gives the reader permission to better understand herself and her needs, emboldening her process of asking for what she truly wants from her time with a partner, with the understanding that the right partner will recognize the value of knowing this. Giving readers the chance to publicly say the sexiest kind of romance is the most practical. Lindsay Jill Roth has created, developed, and produced a wide variety of award-winning linear and digital programming globally. Founder of RIZ Productions, Lindsay has produced projects for major clients and platforms. She graduated from Northwestern University's School of Speech and Medill School of Journalism.

The five most toxic relationship words are 'we will figure it out.' In fact we often need the oppositeclear, research-backed guidance to move forward. R&P is the perfect road map to healthy relationships, and Lindsay Roth is an honest and hilarious storyteller and researcher. A must read for anyone looking for deeper connection and love.

Reading Romances & Practicalities feels a little like eavesdroppingor just watching a really great rom-com. By sharing her love story with "the Brit" (and a peek into the lives of dozens of other couples) Roth provides a template for having the conversations we know we should have, but don't know how to initiate. A fun and actionable approach to building a relationship that goes the distance.

Romances & Practicalities offers a much-needed guidebook to empower us all to both know ourselves more deeply and to bravely communicate what we want in all our relationships. Sharing her own personal journey, Lindsay Roth gifts us with a compassionate look into the realities of developing and maintaining our connections with others.

Romances & Practicalities is the kind of book I wish every rom-com heroine had in her back pocket. This refreshingly candid and relatable guide demonstrates that love isn't just about passionit's about making choices that align with your heart and your future. If you've ever wondered how to make your love story last, this is your perfect starting point.

R&P is the pep talk we didn't know we needed. So much energy is drained by what we don't say, by decoding the smoke signals of others, by feeling utterly at the whim of fate. I'd like to say that Lindsay Jill Roth has done the work so you don't have to, but her point (made delightfully and emphatically) is you doand that it's doable and 100% worth it. A shockingly easy and fun read for such vital information.

Romances & Practicalities takes you beyond the fairy tale, offering 250 essential questions that dive deep into the heart of what truly makes relationships work. Whether you're seeking love, navigating a new relationship, or strengthening a long-term commitment, this book will empower you to foster open communication and practical intimacy, transforming your romantic journey into a lasting, meaningful connection.
