Wellington – 21 September 2006 – Finding life partners has become increasingly challenging in a world that continues to move fast and where individual pressures are growing.

And although internet dating sites have seen massive growth, their outcomes are not always either satisfactory or desirable for those seeking a stable relationship.

A leading expert and author on relationship issues, Suzanne Innes-Kent, who has lectured and written on relationship issues, as well as making television and radio appearances and written a book on the rules for courtship, is feature speaker at a weekend seminar to explain the keys towards finding and sustaining successful relationships in the 21st century.

The seminar, “The Art of a Good Relationship” is being held at Wellington on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 October and is designed to help both singles and married couples develop and maintain the sort of relationships they want, rather than what they may have.

“There are mounting difficulties for both single people, but also couples who are trying to nurture their own relationships,” said Rosie Bowie, who operates Wellington dating agency, MatchCompany. Mrs Bowie is also appearing at the seminar and is co-author of a recently published book on dating and relationships, “Heart Rules”.

Also appearing at the seminar is Janice Davies, a Life Success Coach and attitude specialist from Auckland who is well known as a speaker and teacher on relationship issues.

She is the author of Love For All Seasons - Finding Lasting Intimacy Through Relationship Challenges and Finding Love: A Guide To Finding The Right Person And Developing An Intimate Relationship.
