explaining ups and downs of relationships and offering hope
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
THis is a truly excellent book that has helped me over the years in my marriage. THe authors' thesis is that there are 3 phases to relationships: discovery ("expansion"), disillusionment ("contraction"), and recommitment ("rediscovery"). THe book is clearly written and offers great advice. Seeing this as a cycle that had inevitable down persiods and how to get ouot of them was very valuable for me. REcommended warmly.
