What patterns of relationships do couples tend to follow, and why?

Now, in Intimate Partners, bestselling author Maggie Scarf gives us the classic book on marriage-on how love relationships are formed and how they change over the course of the marital cycle. Here you'll discover * how to understand one's inherited emotional history-and how fits with a partner's * the fascinating ways in which power and control, and intimacy and autonomy exert strong effects upon the kind of partnership two people create * surprising observations on the role of sex and the impact of children on marriage * why change can be experienced as a form of betrayal-and how to ensure that a relationship matures with, and is not impeded by, each individual's growth * simple exercises that couples can do to resolve tensions and change the nature of the world they share * verbal and physical techniques to cope with sexual difficulties and enliven a couple's connection during sex * straightforward methods for how to engage in healthy-not dysfunctional-quarrels Intimate Partners is a book that changes not only how we view love relationships, but also how we live them.
