LOS ANGELES, CA, January 14, 2005 – It’s mysterious, it’s magical and it’s the greatest feeling in the world. It can also make you absolutely crazy and it can hurt like nothing else. It’s love, of course, that strange and wonderful thing that we are perpetually trying to figure out, grab hold of and hang onto.
On Sunday, February 13 at 10:00 pm (ET), in time for Valentine’s Day, WE: Women’s Entertainment presents the original half-hour special Love Files, a witty and wise real-life exploration into the nature and theory of that crazy little thing we call love. Featuring relationship experts, clips of celebrity couples and interviews with regular folks, “Love Files” examines how we think, feel and physically react to different aspects of love.
Expert commentators include noted anthropologist and author Dr. Helen Fisher (“Anatomy of Love,” “Why We Love,” “The First Sex”), national advice columnist Judy McGuire (“Date Girl”) and sex therapist Dr. Ian Kerner (“She Comes First: The Thinking Man’s Guide to Pleasuring a Woman”). The show also includes intimate perspectives from a cross-section of individuals in and out of love; singles and couples, gay and straight, from ages 8 to 80.
