		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes an individual is so close to a situation that he or she cannot see how it is dysfunctional. Slowly over a time period of a few years you have less to say to each other. Something is missing. You don't communicate and it is unclear just how your marriage deteriorated to this condition. You know something has to change. If it doesn't, your marriage or relationship may come to an end. A relationship coach may be able to help. [...]]]></description>

A glance at the two-page chart at the beginning of the book determines  your birthday &#34;period.&#34; Next, find the period of the person  who interests you--friend, parent, child, lover, or mate. The ensuing  relationship dynamics are named colorfully and aptly: &#34;Peas in a  Pod,&#34; &#34;Uncommon Intimacy,&#34; &#34;Flexible  Structures,&#34; &#34;Few Dull Moments,&#34; and &#34;Few  Antipathies.&#34;  Describing 1,176 possibilities, The Secret  Language of Relationships sheds light on the classic  questions--the hows and whys of chemistry in relationships. Is there a  prime ingredient for love at first sight, a Fred Astaire and Ginger  Rogers of it all? An entertaining exploration of the very thing we  cannot do without--each other--this wonderful volume explains why we  feel the way we do about the people in our lives, and how--if necessary--to make it better.&#60;td&#62;&#60;/tr&#62;&#60;/table&#62;

		<description><![CDATA[If you were married about fifteen years ago, you would be only too familiar with the term bridal shower. This used to be a girls' night out where all the lasses got together and talked about the joys of getting married. At this party too, gifts would be given to the bride to be; more often than not these would be intimate bedroom wear. The married women at the bridal shower would usually be the quieter ones who naturally had more experience and knowledge to share. Every once in a while they would make a wise or funny suggestion to get the young ones thinking. Indeed, this was a good way for the ladies to get together and share a few laughs. Often the bride would be advised to make the most of her wedding and the honeymoon before her life of nappies, milk bottles and night feeds came along. [...]]]></description>

McGraw, Ph.D., moves from aiding the aimless individual to coaching the disconnected couple. McGraw has distilled his more than two decades of counseling experience into a seven-step strategy he calls &#34;Relationship Rescue.&#34; &#34;I'm prepared to kick a hole in the wall of the pain-ridden, unhappy maze  you've gotten yourself into, and provide you clear access to  action-oriented answers and instructions on what you must do to have what  you want,&#34; says Dr. Phil. His aim is to expose and eliminate the saboteurs  that cause senseless damage to already-fragile marriages, and, like an  emotional root canal, to replace them with values he says provide positive  results. If you follow Dr. Phil's strategy, he will lead you on a precise  journey to uncover your heart and then share it with your partner as part  of taking the &#34;risk of intimacy.&#34;      Dr. Phil leads you to &#34;reconnect with your core&#34; in the first five steps of  his seven-step strategy. By no means a quick fix, there are in-depth and  rigorous questionnaires, surveys, tests, and profiles that require a  &#34;brutally candid&#34; mindset, with such fill-in-the-blanks as &#34;List five  things that today would make you fall out of love with your partner.&#34; With  this internal work accomplished, you'll then move on to reconnecting with  your partner during a two-week, half-hour-a-day short course. As a &#34;dyad,&#34;  you and your loved one take turns giving monologues on topics such as &#34;The  most positive thing I took away from my mother and father's relationship  was...&#34;    Once the &#34;reconnection&#34; has been established, Dr. Phil says the work shifts  to a management role, as relationships are always a work in progress. Dr.  Phil humorously refers to his own marriage throughout the book, sharing his  mishaps and victories in learning to accept and enjoy what he sees as  fundamental but complementary differences between men and women. --John  Youngs  &#60;td&#62;&#60;/tr&#62;&#60;/table&#62;

At work, productivity and efficiency depend on relationships. At home, relationships with your spouse, children, and friends are keys to success and happiness. And among nations, relationships start and stop wars. This invaluable guide shows that only by further developing yourself can you further develop your relationships. Based on the innovative family systems theory pioneered by the late Dr. Murray Bowen, this important and penetrating book offers practical and authoritative family therapy advice that has helped thousands of people throughout the last three decades. It&#226;€™s a blueprint to better relationships that tells how the principles of family systems theory can be used in all arenas of your life, including intimate relationships, friendships, family relationships, single life, workplace relationships, international relationships, and your relationship with yourself. &#34;A perfect and unpretentious primer of family relationships &#226;€&#166; a relief to read.&#34; &#226;€”Dr. Walter Toman, Professor Emeritus, Erlangen-N&#195;&#188;rnberg University, Germany, and author of Family Constellation      &#60;td&#62;&#60;/tr&#62;&#60;/table&#62;

Why, if love is so great and powerful, are human relationships so challenging and difficult? If love is the source of happiness and joy, why is it so hard to open to it fully and let it govern our lives? In this book, John Welwood addresses these questions and shows us how to overcome the most fundamental obstacle that keeps us from experiencing love's full flowering in our lives. Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships begins by showing how all our relational problems arise out of a universal, core wounding around love that affects not only our personal relationships but the quality of life in our world as a whole. This wounding shows up as a pervasive mood of unlove&#226;€”a deep sense that we are not intrinsically lovable just as we are. And this shuts down our capacity to trust, so that even though we may hunger for love, we have difficulty opening to it and letting it circulate freely through us. This book takes the reader on a powerful journey of healing and transformation that involves learning to embrace our humanness and appreciate the imperfections of our relationships as trail-markers along the path to great love. It sets forth a process for releasing deep-seated grievances we hold against others for not loving us better and against ourselves for not being better loved. And it shows how our longing to be loved can magnetize the great love that will free us from looking to others to find ourselves. Written with penetrating realism and a fresh, lyrical style that honors the subtlety and richness of our relationship to love itself, this revolutionary book offers profound and practical guidance for healing our lives as well as our embattled world.A workshop based on this book is also available in audio.

In Why Can&#226;€™t You Read My Mind?, psychologist Jeffrey Bernstein reveals&#226;€”for the first time&#226;€”the nine toxic thought patterns at work in virtually every  intimate relationship, and shows you how the distorted, negative,  exaggerated thoughts you and your partner may have about each other  can destroy the love you share. Based on years of successful couples  counseling, Bernstein has developed a simple yet powerful approach for  breaking the toxic thinking cycle and helps you establish new and more  positive thinking habits for solving your problems and dealing with  the stresses of everyday life. Filled with practical advice on topics  like fighting fairly and purging emotional ghosts as well as fun,  easy-to-follow exercises that will keep your romance alive for  years to come, Why Can&#226;€™t You Read My Mind? is an invaluable  tool for those seeking to restore&#226;€”or create&#226;€”a happy, loving, and  fulfilling relationship.    Don&#226;€™t let these toxic thought patterns come between you and lasting love:    The All or Nothing Trap * Catastrophic Conclusions * The Should Bomb * Label Slinging * The Blame Game * Emotional Short-Circuit * Overactive Imagination * Head Game Gamble * Disillusionment Doom&#60;td&#62;&#60;/tr&#62;&#60;/table&#62;

Drawing on the Buddhist concept of mindfulness, How to Be an Adult in Relationships  explores five hallmarks of mindful loving and how they play a key role in our relationships throughout life:   Attention to the present moment; observing, listening, and noticing all the feelings at play in our relationships.  Acceptance of ourselves and others just as we are.  Appreciation of all our gifts, our limits, our longings, and our poignant human predicament.  Affection shown through holding and touching in respectful ways.  Allowing life and love to be just as they are, with all their ecstasy and ache, without trying to take control. When deeply understood and applied, these five simple concepts&#226;€”what Richo calls the five A's&#226;€”form the basis of mature love. They help us to move away from judgment, fear, and blame to a position of openness, compassion, and realism about life and relationships. By giving and receiving these five A's, relationships become deeper and more meaningful, and they become a ground for personal transformation.&#60;td&#62;&#60;/tr&#62;&#60;/table&#62;
