We all inherit outdated ideas about our roles in a relationship from our parents. This book shows you a whole new set of skills to help you have the relationship you've been longing for. The New Couple introduces 10 essential 'laws' based on self-confidence and equality to help you find real intimacy, passion and enjoyment. Where can couples turn to when the old rules don't work anymore? Seana McGee and Maurice Taylor, couple educators and husband-and-wife psychotherapist team, have the solution in their 10 New Laws of Love, which can help all couples attain a happy, long-lasting relationship. These include chemistry, emotional integrity, deep listening, equality, self-love and peacemaking. Each chapter introduces one of these basic 'laws' and teaches couples how to incorporate them into their own partnership. The New Couple methods offer answers to common questions such as: * The honeymoon's over and our sex life has cooled down. Is this normal? What's going on?* A simple disagreement turned into an all-out fight and now we aren't speaking.
How did we get to this?* I feel like I'm losing my individuality and freedom, and I'm growing more and more resentful of my partner. Isn't there more to married life than this?* Neither of us is willing to budge. I think we're at an impasse. Do we throw in the towel?* Can we both achieve our dreams? How?* I'm single and twice shy? How do I keep from stepping into another messy relationship? * Authors have already generated substantial media through their workshops, including a large feature in The Express and appearances on This Morning and Vanessa Feltz.* Authors will be coming over around publication to give workshops and help promote the book.* The modern antidote to the more controversial Dr Laura's Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands. This book re-examines all those outdated ideas we've inherited from '50s couples and gives you a whole new set of skills.* Like Men are from Mars, this is not a book aimed at couples with problems - it is a personal development book any couple would find fascinating to read.
* Taylor and McGee give popular workshops all over the world and will be following their tour of the UK with tours of Singapore and Australia in November. Competition: The closest would be The Good Marriage by Judith Wallerstein (Houghton Mifflin 1995).
