Marriage Psychology

Nobody affects us as deeply as our brothers and sisters - not parents, not children, not friends. From the time we - and they - are born, our siblings are our collaborators and co-conspirators, our role models and cautionary tales. They teach us how to resolve conflicts and how not to, how to conduct friendships and when to walk away.

Las claves de una pareja exitosa: confianza, comunicación y satisfacción. Aunque nos han contado (y nos hemos creído) que el amor es eterno y que, como los protagonistas de los cuentos, "viviremos felices y comeremos perdices", lo cierto es que las relaciones de pareja son como todos los vínculos humanos: lazos que es necesario cuidar y no mitificar. La invención del amor romántico y las intensas emociones que sentimos al enamorarnos nos generan expectativas irreales que dificultan que podamos vivir las relaciones de pareja de forma sana y satisfactoria.

Ever wondered why your partner needs constant reassurance… or why they seem to have such demanding needs? Maybe it's your own mind you want to get under the hood of… Why is it that you need reassurance in love, no matter how much you tell yourself you shouldn’t? The patterns we see recurring in our relationships are formed early on, and many of us move through life without ever figuring out where they come from…But if you’re doing this, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Personal growth and fulfillment is only possible when you understand who you are and why you act how you do.

Sex Matters tracks the price we have paid for denying sex differences and stoking the war of the sexes - family breakdown, declining female happiness, aimlessness among men, and increasing inequality. Marshaling copious social science research as well as her own experience as a professional as well as a wife and mother, Mona Charen calls for a sexual ceasefire for the sake of women, men, and children.

Do you find yourself needing constant reassurance to feel secure in your relationships? Do worries about your partner’s feelings dominate your thoughts? If so, you’re not alone. An anxious attachment style affects 20% of people, often stemming from early experiences of inconsistency, loss, or separation. It’s not your fault—but it doesn’t have to define you. With the right tools, you can break free from the fear of abandonment and build healthier, more secure relationships.

Peter Fraenkel presents a practical, creative, integrative approach that combines action- and insight-oriented techniques to help last-chance couples manage conflict, modulate intense negative emotions, address power struggles, develop mutual compassion, and restore emotional intimacy and pleasurable connection. Special attention is paid to developing a collaborative therapeutic alliance when partners have little motivation for therapy or faith that it can be effective. Through engaging in "nonbinding experiments in possibility," partners can then better evaluate whether to "stay or go."

What if we didn't put a leash on love? What if the actual love experience could mean more and not less? This is not the society we grew up in. We grew up with people all around, all trying to control our every step, not to mention our bodies! They want to control everything that happens in and out of our bodies. But especially the outer form, the part of us everybody sees but no one truly cares about.

Clever and ambitious, Emma Jung yearned to study the natural sciences at the University of Zurich. But the strict rules of proper Swiss society at the beginning of the 20th century dictated that a woman of Emma's stature - one of the richest heiresses in Switzerland - travel to Paris to "finish" her education, to prepare for marriage to a suitable man.
