We all want real, lasting love in our lives. We spend a lot of time searching for that special someone, but even when we find them we can’t be sure the relationship will last. The majority of marriages fail, either ending in divorce and separation or devolving into bitterness and dysfunction. Of all the people who get married, only three in ten remain in healthy, happy marriages. Are most of us doomed to failure or is there something we’ve been missing that can help us live happily ever after?
Being a psychotherapist who specializes in helping people with their relationships didn’t save me from making the same mistakes my clients were making. I had been married and divorced, was trying to parent our children while working and trying to have a social life. I not only felt discouraged about own love life, but I felt like a fraud trying to help others achieve success where I had failed.
