"SMART Love a quasi-fictional educational narrative that focuses on relational improvement by establishing healthy behaviors in a relationship emphasizing effective communication techniques, measuring progress, relational accountability, and alignment on relationship goals. Edward (the narrator and main character, ) describes the 1-year journey through which he worked with his wife to improve their relationship. With chapters existing as month-long reviews, each month/chapter is transitioned into with a flashback memory of a significant event that provides context as to how they wound up where they were at the beginning of the 1-year journey. Key instances of communications successes, capitalized by positive outcomes from the SMART Love exercises, inspire Edward to continue working on making his marriage work. Conceptually, SMART Love is designed to do two things: 1. Tell a story about a man's commitment to work on fixing his relationship and describe very vividly what that experience looked like, and 2. Share realistic relationship improvement concepts and describing how to approach implementing them." -Vincent Fudge II
