Psykologerne Lone Spanheimer og Niels Bjerre Andersen har hjulpet mange mennesker med at tackle de udfordringer, der kan være ved at leve alene. For nogle er aleneheden selvvalgt, mens den for andre er et ufrivilligt vilkår.

I "Från kaos till samarbete" vänder sig Marita Lynard framför allt till separerade föräldrar som vill förbättra sin relation.

No matter what you might have heard, God didn’t mandate a divine way to date. What he did do, in the Bible, is lay out principles for wise and healthy relational living among believers.

In the American ideal, family life is a sacred and private sphere, distinct from the outside world.
