Description

No relationship is perfect and Dr. Ables, a marriage and family counselor for years, knew this. People enter romances thinking that being a couple will be warm and different. They do not see that their personal problems and past may negatively affect their relationship. For Couples Only explains the traps couples often fall into and gives case studies for further insight.

Dr. Ables takes away all of the romantic notions and serves up reality in For Couples Only. Individuals differ from one another, and their past experiences from childhood through adulthood affect them. This book examines how feelings and expectations individuals formed years ago come back to haunt and potentially hurt their relationships.

For Couples Only shows how parental relationships formed in childhood impact romantic ventures. Dr. Ables gives insight into looking at the initial bliss of romance to their eventual breakdowns, which may have multiple factors. For Couples Only can help those in a relationship or anyone looking at themselves and their partners realistically. Dr. Ables sets the path to show how to create a healthier and more enjoyable relationship together.
