Glossary entry (derived from question below)
German term
Das Begehren: Der Liebe Kraft geben
Hab auch schon eine Übersetzung (The Desire - Power your love life), nur stört mich bei meiner Variante irgendwie der Artikel "the". Ohne "the" schaut's aber auch blöd aus. Habt Ihr noch eine bessere Idee?
Ach ja, dringend ist's auch noch!

Proposed translations
Desire
Vgl. A. J. Thomson, A. V. Martinet, "A Practical English Grammar", p. 5 ff., Omission of the definite article: "The definite article is NOT used: ... before abstract nouns except when they are used in a particular sense: Men fear death. BUT The death of the Prime Minister left his party without a leader."

depends on what you think the point is - in marketing it's hard to know
