The honeymoon’s over and our sex life has cooled down. Is this normal? What’s going on? A simple disagreement turned into an all-out fight and now we aren’t speaking. How did we get to this? I feel like I’m losing my individuality and freedom, and I’m growing more and more resentful of my partner. Isn’t there more to married life than this? Neither of us is willing to budge. I think we’re at an impasse. Do we throw in the towel? Can we both achieve our dreams? How? I’m single and twice shy? How do I keep from stepping into another messy relationship?
A good, indepth discussion of 10 "laws" that contribute to good relationships. Well written, easy to read, responsible advice. Nice to read something that has some depth on the subject.
