    About this ebook

    In today’s world we are constantly being told what love is, who we should give it to, and how we should give it. We are bombarded with so many opinions that our concept of love becomes more muddled than it was to begin with. Where did all of these opinions come from? What is real love? In this essai, author Ethan T. Marston—a gay Mormon—explores these questions as he looks at romantic love through the lenses of neurochemistry, anthropology, Christian theology, and his own experience.

    Ethan T. Marston

    Ethan T. Marston was raised in Illinois, but spent a good chunk of his life in Utah as well—he even returned to Utah to study writing and nutritional science at BYU. While there, he became very involved in the LDS LGBT+ community, he emerged from the depths of the closet, and (to his surprise) he met his wife, Allie. He and Allie are currently raising their baby daughter and trying to decide what the heck to do with their lives somewhere in Montana. Ethan enjoys taking pretty pictures of nature, being social, petting dogs, and writing fiction.
