Publisher's Synopsis
Of the many perils in modern relationships, few are so quietly and invariably destructive as the ruts people create for themselves. Over time, people need to learn to be angry in certain ways. They fall into patterns in the way they relate to each other's words and needs, even in how they respond to each other in the bedroom. Such habits are easily learned and hard to break.;In this book, Richard Driscoll considers how negative patterns develop and cause relationships to become stagnant. He looks at the roles couples unwittingly play, the traps they fall into and how couples can cultivate a love as fulfilling as the romance that first brought them together. Richard Driscoll has also written "Pragmatic Psychotherapy".
