A renowned psychologist and relationship expert known for her insightful advice on building healthier and happier relationships
We often think that we can change somebody when we don’t like something about them. Especially in our romantic partners. But do you like when someone tells you what to do? When and how to change? Would you like to be changed by someone against your will just because someone needs you to?
Probably not. Relationships thrive on acceptance and this book shows you how to get there and how much power there is in taking responsibility for your own actions, emotions and happiness.
This book will help you to connect or reconnect with your partner for a lasting and loving relationship where you both feel understood and loved for who you really are. You can be happily married or in a happy relationship. The book will show you how you both can help each other to free the time to spend on quality time and other things you find important. It will teach you how to be a team.

- I am responsible for my happiness, emotions and actions
- It’s OK to not always be 50/50, sometimes we have to give more to help our partner
- I, too, can be happily married
- I have a right to every emotion I experience, but I am not entitled to every reaction I have due to them
- if I suffer more, I should be the one to take action, not waiting for the other person to change

- I can change my own behaviour to improve the dynamic in the relationship
- relationship can be saved if we come from the position of love and not fear or entitlement
