About
Experience greater love and intimacy in your relationships
Of course we love our partners--but do we love our partners well? According to attachment theory, we tend to experience and show love in predictable ways, some of which might have served us in the past but may now be undermining our relationships. So how do you know if a budding relationship is prone to struggle or success? How can you improve a long-term relationship that is stuck in a season of frustration? The strategies found in this book will help you
· identify your relationship style (and your partner's)
· understand the strengths and challenges of that style
· overcome feelings of rejection and failed relationships
· recognize the patterns and behaviors that are affecting your relationships
· develop better ways to express and receive love
If you've been caught in a cycle of unsatisfying relationships, discover how attachment theory can help you take the guesswork out of understanding why people behave the way they do--especially in times of stress--so you can find and nurture a love that lasts.
