Synopsis:

Many men and women enter relationships with high hopes and romantic passion, only to find themselves feeling angry, hurt, disappointed, and frustrated. They may begin to doubt whether they’ll ever free themselves from painful patterns and rediscover their passion. The majority of relationship books focus on how partners interact. But the advice offered is often impossible to follow because it ignores two essential issues that each mate must address and master — personal development and boundary healing. Martha Beveridge guides readers toward trusting, committed relationships that allow room for each partner’s individuality.

Synopsis: Experts agree that the key to lasting relationships is good communication, but the crucial role that boundaries - or "personal space" - play in discussions, decision - making, fighting, making up and all other aspects of couple's lives is not always understood. This book fills an important need by explaining the importance of maintaining a sense of self that is distinct from your partner. Martha Beveridge, an experienced relationship therapist, explains why romantic relationships often deteriorate from the heady intensity of early love into day-to-day struggles over boundary issues that tear couples apart. Her book gives readers practical, creative and unique strategies for transforming struggle into exploration and hostility into deeper intimacy.
