What have you not done to find real love or improve your existing relationship? Was it actually worth it? Was it worth your time, money, and peace of mind? Did you actually get the results you wanted? You see, most relationship tips fail because people approach them with the mindset of resistance. Any sense of resistance that we experience within ourselves is due to us feeling fragmented. We feel fragmented because of our own limiting beliefs and negative social programming.

Love and marriage are two of the greatest gifts life has to offer, yet too many marriages fail because couples don't fully understand the five stages of relationships.

Adams goes beyond the stereotypes of momma's boys and meddling mothers to explain how mother-son enmeshment affects everyone: the mother, the son, and the woman who loves him.
