Will Our Love Last? (eBook, ePUB)

A Couple's Road Map

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Men and women in love are haunted by two questions: Am I with the right person? And will our love last? This practical, empowering book is the first guide to relationships that demystifies love and makes it possible to answer these crucial questions with confidence.

Drawing on examples from his twenty-two years as a marital therapist, and twenty-seven years in his own happy marriage, psychologist Sam R. Hamburg explains how compatibility on three major dimensions -- the Practical Dimension, the Sexual Dimension, and the Wavelength Dimension -- produces the mutual understanding, respect, and affirmation that are the fuel for lifelong love. Dr. Hamburg introduces a novel, nonverbal procedure for increasing compatibility awareness, "The Hand-Rotation Exercise," and presents two new techniques for resolving couple conflicts: "His Way/Her Way" and "The Long Conversation." Offering the positive message -- that we have it in our power to choose a partner with whom we can share deep empathy and lifelong love -- Will Our Love Last? is invaluable for couples, and it enables individuals without partners to better understand failed relationships and choose more wisely in the future.
