Actually, it is Your Parents' Fault: Why Your Romantic Relationship Isn't Working, and How to Fix it

Every committed relationship goes through rough patches, gets into potentially unhealthy patterns, and experiences stagnation. What's the difference between those that move forward and those that bust up? Knowledge, effort and commitment to enhancing the bond. "Actually, it is your Parents' Fault" cuts through some of the unhelpful self-help trends of the last decade to deliver the key to knowledge-self-knowledge, that is. Van Munching and Katz explore how even the earliest childhood experiences dictate romantic choices: not just who you choose as a mate, but what bugs you about that mate, how you'll fight, how you'll communicate (or won't), and eventually how you'll deal with the inevitable tough moments.
