Romanswers: Practical Answers to Common Questions Troubling Relationships, Romance, and Marriage

ROMANSWERS - Practical answers to common questions troubling relationships, romance, and marriage. ROMANSWERS is a book of practical insights into over one hundred troubling questions about relationships, romance, and marriage. By author and psychologist Dr. Carl Pickhardt, the book is divided into twenty-seven sections, each with its own short preface, addressing the following common concerns: * Abuse, * Affairs, * Attraction, * Breaking up, * Change, * Cheating, *Commitment, * Communication, * Conflict, * Counseling, * Dating, *Diversity, * Divorce, * Family, * Intimacy, * Jealousy, * Love, * Marriage, * Mutuality, *Recovery, * Remarriage, * Responsibility, * Romance, * Separation, * Sex, *Shyness, * Unavailability.

Derived from the weekly web advice column for Cox Interactive Media (Austin 360/Lovelink) which he wrote from 1997 - 1999, ROMANSWERS both solves problems and instructs about them. Readers come away better informed about dealing with, and understanding, fundamental problems rooted in the nature of caring relationships, problems that will not go away.
