The Marriage Manual: Becoming One has been created just for you and your relationship. This book is filled with the good stuff – underlying roots in family systems theory that also draws on a wide range of theoretical perspectives that address interactional patterns and dynamics, social-learning theory, evolution theory, and attachment theory to learn to heal and counsel you through intergenerational patterns and trauma that have occurred in your past experiences, due to family discord, and/or hurt from past love relationships that continue to show up in present relationships.
The Marriage Manual helps couples and individuals to heal by increasing conscious and unconscious awareness of oneself, one’s partner, and the family system. Many topics will be covered from why relationships matter, verbal and non-verbal communication, emotional intimacy, expectations vs. demands, how to manage conflict, and so on. The Marriage Manual also teaches couples how to identify strengths and weaknesses in oneself and in their relationships, re-evaluate what has become normal in our culture and society by identifying the rules or principles that govern and restrict healthy relationship behavior.
In summary, The Marriage Manual focuses on Strengths, Spirituality, and Psychoeducation to put knowledge with action to truly bring peace into our hearts, our marriages, and our homes. The Marriage Manual focuses on teaching couples about skills related to communication, conflict management, trust, coping, purpose, intimacy, and so more. It is enlightening and filled with proven strategies to produce healthy individuals and healthy couple relationships.
