The Couple's Workbook
WALRUS
Love is a skill, not just an emotion – and in order for us to get good at it, we have to practice, as we would in any other area we want to shine in. Here is a workbook containing the very best exercises that any couple can undertake to help their relationship function optimally, exercises to foster understanding, patience, forgiveness, humour and resilience in the face of the many hurdles that invariably arise when you try to live with someone else for the long term.
The notion of exercising is well understood in many areas; we should grant that it applies equally to love. No one can be intuitively good at relationships. We all need to do some homework to become the best partners and couples we can be.
Chapters include:
- What We Should Learn From One Another
- The Secret Lives of Other Couples
- Continuing the Conversation
- A Trust Check-Up
- How We See Ourselves – And How Our Partner Sees Us
- How We Like to Be Loved
- Projecting Emotions
