This helpful guide to building lasting relationships focuses on the personalities of the partners and introduces ways to build enduring compatibility. Love is Not Enough: What It Takes to Make it Work explores why couples fall into the same types of relationship traps time and again and offers sound advice, based on extensive research and real case stories, for recognizing and combating the forces that can sink a promising relationship. While it is true that opposites can attract, irrevocably opposed personalities and habits cannot sustain a relationship. How can you foresee one partner being the immovable object to the other's irrepressible force? As Love is Not Enough shows, it is all about personality-yours, your potential partner's, and how the two mesh. Thoroughly grounded in the realities of relationships today, the book helps readers recognize and understand interactions among different personality types. Each chapter offers carefully considered wisdom on how to resolve particular differences in a relationship and break through to the kind of awareness and understanding that invariably makes things work.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
