Tokens of love have helped romance bloom. Love potions and aphrodisiacs have inflamed passion. And words of love, in all languages, have warmed hearts and drawn couples together.

Being in love is something we all covet. But being in love with the right person is even rarer and more special. Use this chapter to find your perfect match.
