An Interview with
Author Karen Weinstock : " Matched " From Dating Disasters to Dream
When we think of lawyers and love , terms like “ divorce ” and “ custody battle ” pop up in our minds ( okay , and maybe " prenup "), but we certainly do not expect them to give advice on how to find true love . But Karen Weinstock , a top entrepreneurial lawyer managing a multi-million-dollar immigration firm , does just that . Combining her business experience and lawyering skills with knowledge from research and her own marriage counseling , she developed a “ system ” to find the perfect match , all while being herself on a journey to find new love after divorcing her husband of 14 years . Weinstock ’ s book “ Matched ” is not your usual self-help guide . Rather , it provides very concrete tools and tips for screening ( potential partners and yourself ), dating , and maintaining a lasting relationship . In addition , Weinstock has a blog and offers a Facebook counseling group . The Atlanta Lawyer spoke with Weinstock about the book – and the secret to lasting love .
TAL : Karen , you said in an interview that one of the reasons friendships or marriages fail is that “ you do not learn having relationships .” Is dating a science or an art ?
