Contented Couples

Anne Power sits down with twenty-two contented couples in the US and the UK to discuss how they found each other and what made it work. She looks at the way couples found each other and what made it work. The author uses some of the questions she puts to new couples in therapy: What does a row look like? How has sex been across the years? Who has grown up the most over their time together? What stopped them from becoming a divorce statistic? Woven through the book are expert, jargon-free explanations of how couples attach, how they fight and how they repair. Each chapter ends with questions which invite us to reflect on our own relationships and to benefit personally from this chance to eavesdrop on contented couples.
