These days, when couples experience difficulties in their relationship, most often they come to the conclusion that their meeting was a huge mistake, and in most cases they separate. And then each individual takes a long time to recover. According to opinion polls, divorce is one of the leading places in terms of the degree of trauma.

The book offers a different approach. There are special ways to overcome conflicts. If approached with courage and creativity, it can be a path to personal transformation.

We hope that our book will be a support for those who want to understand the complexities of close relationships. Its purpose is to describe the changes that can take place in a long-term partnership.

We also want to talk about the feelings that accompany the transformation. We want to not only describe the stages that most couples have to go through, but also show how scared and lonely they can sometimes be and how futile it all seems at times. We were inspired by the realization that all people face remarkably similar problems.

We hope that by reading this book you will understand some of your difficulties and sorrows and apply your best to the amazing task of learning to love another soul.
