Dr. Chalmer combines his expertise in science with 30 years of experience as a couples therapist to show how you can restore intimacy and overcome any relationship problem to create and maintain a lively, loving, lasting relationship. He offers a unique perspective on the role of faith — not necessarily religious — in relationships. Whatever your faith background, religious or secular, Dr. Chalmer’s approach to faith as a key to unlocking intimacy will inform and inspire you.

You’ve been betrayed. Maybe your partner has cheated on you, or abused you, or ruined you financially, or failed to live up to their commitments to you. Or maybe a family member or close friend has lied about you, or insulted you, or disinherited you, or treated you in ways you just can’t overlook. How do you get through the emotional turmoil? How can you get past the anger and learn to trust again? How do you decide what to do about your relationship with the one who betrayed you?

Yes! Couples therapy can help—but not by teaching you how to communicate. If you and your partner are having trouble, the problem isn't how you're communicating. The problem is what you're communicating.

Is your husband (or boyfriend or fiancé) driving you nuts with his complaints about your cleaning?

In this short, easy-to-follow book, Dr. Chalmer helps you understand what happened, and shows you how to begin the work of healing. A simple, seven-word sentence, encompassing three basic principles, will tell you what you need to do.
