Rezensionen

"All three parts of the book offer insights for clinicians, researchers, and people interested in understanding and helping couples achieve relationship quality and longevity. Although the book is written with some mental health professional jargon, the way it is written still affords lay readers and real-life couples valuable wisdom."
