Synopsis

Whether we know it or not, relationship styles cause some people to naturally thrive in relationships and others to struggle. According to attachment theory, we tend to experience love in predictable ways—some of which are healthy and some of which are not—based on our style and that of our partner.

The good news is, whatever relationship style you have naturally, you're not stuck with it! Using the strategies found in this book, you can identify your relationship style (and your partner's); understand the strengths and challenges of that style; overcome feelings of rejection and failed relationships; recognize the patterns and behaviors that are affecting your relationships; and develop better ways to express and receive love.

If you've been caught in a cycle of unsatisfying relationships, discover how attachment theory can help you take the guesswork out of understanding why people behave the way they do—especially in times of stress—so you can find and sustain a love that lasts.

Goodreads review by Lisa on February 13, 2024

I received this book free from Library Thing for my review. First of all, this is a very Christian book, which is not obvious from the cover or blurb. You could discover it from the author bio or publisher, but it’s still my pet peeve when that’s not super clear from the outset. This is a book about......more

Goodreads review by Abi on April 21, 2025

As someone who is only *slightly* interested in attachment theory, take my review with a grain of salt!

Honestly, I feel like it could have been much shorter and I......more
