Conscious Coupling: Positive Insights for Long Lasting Relationships Shared by Two Divorce Mediators

Conscious Coupling, Saving Relationships from the perspectives of two divorce mediators wages war on saving relationships and ultimately saving families. Dana and Don, two divorce mediators and licenses couple’s and family therapist offer insight from the mediator’s/counselor’s perspective directly from real cases they have both counseled before and after divorce and during separation negotiations.This book amplifies the “root cause analysis” within couples that without recognition or restoration, Dana and Don believe that any relationship will ultimately dissolve. Conscious coupling honestly addresses the true bases of relationship fulfillment as well as its ultimate demise. Each author writes separately his and her personal and professional experiences on each chapter. Such as, the future of relationship, money and sex values, infidelity, family of origin, extended family, social influences, as well as modern marriage, parenting, and the most common relational traits as compatibility, co-habitation and communications.This is not a psychoanalytical or legal text book, this is a true to life, based on real cases, that young couples who haven’t married yet or couples who are already married need to be aware of if they intend on maintaining a happy and satisfying and blissful existence together.There is no other book out there, that divorce mediators have written, to save families.
