Synopsis
30 Days to Right your Relationship lays out an effective plan to get 100% back in your relationship. The book takes 30 healthy relationship-building strategies and dedicates a day for you to focus on each one. This gives you a clear plan to help with what seems to be an overwhelming task of making the relationship harmonious and happy again. An important reason why we struggle in relationships is that there are many interrelated variables at work. The past, the present, and the future all play a role in our thoughts, expressions and actions, and therefore in our relationships on a daily basis. Many relationships stumble on with one or both people halfway in them. We sometimes know in our logical mind what to do to make our relationship better, but we don't do it. Perhaps this is due to our hurt, resentment or fear ---but also because we are confused, overwhelmed and don't know where to start. This 30-day plan gives you an organized approach-- a schedule, if you will-- to approach this. In the absence of a concrete plan, the demands of daily life (our job, kids, finances, friends, external family, moods and feelings) can often get in the way of the daily relationship work that is crucial to rebuilding the relationship. 30 Days to Right Your Relationship project-manages the process to help you anticipate and work through the obstacles you may face during your work on each step. It also breaks down the steps into simple, manageable tasks to help keep them from being overwhelming. All these steps are aligned toward the positive goal of rediscovering the intimacy, warmth and safety of your relationship with your significant other. You both want to be happy, and you may have your doubts about the possibility now, but wouldn't it be a lot easier if you could get back to being happy with each other? You have to be open to doing things a little differently and thinking about yourself, your partner, and your relationship in a new way. In my 23 years working with couples in counseling, I have helped many couples uncover the steps needed to revive their relationship, create a plan to do this, and navigate through their triggers, blind spots and previous traumas on their pathway to finding connection, understanding and happiness with their partner again. I have compiled the major themes that have proven to be universally successful across all couples, to create this book. It is organized into 30 chapters, each one representing one day of a 30-day challenge. Although each day is dedicated to a particular topic and action step, by no means does it imply that you only practice certain behaviors on the day that they are introduced. The idea is that you will continue to integrate each step to create an effective toolkit of strategies that you will use each day of your relationship as you progress on your journey towards lasting connection and intimacy with your partner.
