But according to relationship expert Jillian Turecki, we won't find relationship success until we look inside ourselves.

In her 2025 book, It Begins With You, Turecki offers nine hard truths about love, and they have little to do with what to look for in a perfect romantic partner.

The hard truths outline how you can prepare for and thrive in a long-term relationship without unrealistic expectations, self-betrayal, and codependency.
