Increase intimacy, connection, and love with this "critical"
(Vanessa Van Edwards, bestselling author of Captivate: The Science
of Succeeding with People), science-based guide to creating
meaningful and lasting relationships. When it comes to building a
better relationship with your partner, touch and connection matter
so much more than the words that you say. And author and therapist
John Howard is here to tell us why. More Than Words shows you how
to deepen love and connection in any relationship based on the
latest cutting-edge research in interpersonal neurobiology,
trauma-informed healing, attachment theory, and many more
scientific fields. This "brilliant guide" (Diane Poole-Heller, PhD,
author of The Power of Attachment) explains why verbal
communication may not elicit the connection you seek and offers
ways to practice and form new habits that can nurture love, care,
safety, comfort, and passion in relationships. Science shows that
these techniques work, but most people don't know them yet. You can
start using these techniques today to increase intimacy and
emotional connection in your closest relationships. Mindful of all
the needs of the modern individual, More Than Words is inclusive of
LGBTQ+, polyamorous, and other nontraditional committed
relationships and ultimately looks to elevate the way we strengthen
the most important bonds in our lives.
"If you and your prospective partner adopt the principles and
skills I describe here, your relationship will be successful-not
just for starters, but for the long run." An indispensable guide
for any couple ready to set the foundation for a loving and lasting
union Committing fully to a loving partnership-a "we"-can be one of
the most beautiful and fulfilling experiences you'll ever have. Yet
as anyone in a long-term relationship will tell you, it can also be
one of the most challenging. Almost half of all first marriages end
in divorce, and chances go down from there. So how do you beat the
odds? "All successful long-term relationships are secure
relationships," writes psychotherapist Stan Tatkin. "You and your
partner take care of each other in a way that ensures you both feel
safe, protected, accepted, and secure at all times." In We Do,
Tatkin provides a groundbreaking guide for couples. You'll figure
out whether you and your partner are right for each other in the
long term, and if so, give your relationship a strong foundation so
you can enjoy a secure and lasting love. Highlights include: Create
a shared vision for your relationship, the key to a strong
foundation * It's all about prevention-learn tools and techniques
for preventing problems before they occur * Understand how to work
with the psychological and biological influences in your
relationship-neuroscience, arousal regulation, attachment theory,
and more * Numerous case studies with helpful examples of healthy
and unhealthy interactions, sample dialogues, and reflections *
Dozens of exercises-the newlywed game, reading facial expressions,
and many more fun and serious practices to develop intimacy and
security * Handling conflict-how to broker win-win outcomes * Build
a loving relationship that helps you thrive and grow as both
individuals and a couple Common interests, physical attraction,
shared values, and good communication skills are the factors most
commonly thought to indicate a good partnership. Yet surprisingly,
current research reveals that these are only a small part of what
makes for a healthy marriage-much more important are psychological
and biological influences. With We Do, you'll learn to navigate
these elements and more, giving your relationship the best possible
chance to succeed.
Before you succeed at parenting, you need to succeed as a couple!
Baby Bomb is the resource you need when a new baby turns your
life-and your romantic relationship-upside down. A baby is a
blessing-and also a completely life-altering event. If you're like
many new parents, nothing could have fully prepared you for the
exhaustion of late-night feedings, the explosive diapers, the
evaporation of your free time, the pure joy, and the moments of
pure terror. In the midst of these hazy, early months, it's normal
to feel overwhelmed. And when you're overwhelmed, it's easy to put
your romantic relationship on the back burner. But, more and more,
research shows that in order to be the best parents you can be, you
and your partner need to make sure that your needs-as a couple-are
also met. Written by a psychologist and relationship expert, Baby
Bomb offers powerful tools based in psychology and neurobiology to
help you and your partner co-parent and co-partner as a solid and
supportive team-while also cultivating mad love for each other!

partnering; you'll discover how a secure-functioning relationship
is essential for raising happy, healthy kids. This isn't a book
with advice about how to have a romantic candlelit dinner while
your baby is screaming in the other room. It's a road map for
getting on the same page about your expectations as parents, about
your needs as humans, and about how to maintain a strong and
lasting relationship in the face of, well, a baby bomb.
Break the Cycle: A Comprehensive Guide to Overcome Chronic
Relationship Struggles Few things are more frustrating than
repeating the same fight with your partner. Playing out the same
disagreement about money, parenting, sex, or household chores may
leave you exhausted, cut off from the person you want to feel close
to. While conflict in any relationship is inevitable, healing is
possible. With In Each Other's Care, Stan Tatkin shares a hands-on
repair manual that will help you discover how arguments get
triggered, why they keep happening, and what you can do to get
better at communicating what you want without the drama. Drawing on
his vast experience as a couples therapist, Tatkin uses the concept
of secure functioning--a two-person psychological system of
teamwork, full collaboration, and cooperation based on fairness,
justice, and mutual sensitivity. This form of unionizing is "takes
time to learn," Tatkin says. "And still, the rewards are awesome
and make the effort worthwhile. Secure functioning benefits you,
your partner, your family, your friends, everything, and everyone."
Throughout In Each Other's Care, Tatkin offers targeted lessons,
sample dialogues, and heartfelt wisdom. Through this life-changing
practice, you will be able to: - Identify the source of unhappiness
in your relationship - Learn techniques for preventing problems
before they occur - Heal the emotional wounds of the past -
Transform conflict and struggle into win-win outcomes - Renew
broken connections and return to intimacy Whether you've been in a
relationship for years or are just beginning the journey, In Each
Other's Care is a wonderfully supportive guide that will show you
how to work through even the most contentious topics with
compassion and respect.
