A useful resouce
Format: Kindle
I appreciate this this book broke down how relationships break down and how to repair them. Basically, its a lot of work. But I appreciate the honesty about just how much work it will be and the steps necessary to achieve it. It will help couples figure out if they are really are ready to put in the work to have a secure and loving relationship.
