This guide to relationships encourages individuals to examine their own thoughts and feelings about their relationship in order to find a way to travel alongside their partners through life. Based on the professional experience of two practicing psychologists, this book reveals that positive changes in relationships come about when individuals modify their beliefs and behaviors, rather than expecting their partners to change. Many strategies are provided to help people learn to identify and address common relationship difficulties, make informed decisions, think clearly about issues that upset them, and communicate in an effective way. This book prepares individuals who are about to enter a committed relationship; helps people in long-term relationships keep their expectations realistic; helps improve stale relationships; and enables people to make choices and move ahead once a relationship has deteriorated.
