Self-Help Relationships
In the best-selling ScreamFree Parenting, Hal Runkel showed
thousands of parents how focusing on themselves, in order to
keep their cool, can revolutionize their family life. In his
groundbreaking new book, The Self-Centered Marriage, Runkel
now shows couples how learning to focus on themselves, in
order to stay calm in the face of common marital conflicts,
is the key to creating a deep, lifelong connection.
Every committed couple strives to hold on to the marriage
they envisioned back when they first said "I do"--before
kids, mortgages, and all of life's inescapable issues seemed
to get in the way. But the truth is this: conflict about
these issues is unavoidable. What typically results are two
spouses feeling forced to compromise themselves in order to
just get along and keep it together. Eventually couples
start "screaming" at each other--sometimes literally yelling
out loud, sometimes shutting themselves down and shutting
their partners out.
In The Self-Centered Marriage, therapist and bestselling
author Hal Runkel introduces some radical new concepts about
marriage, teaching couples how to embrace their separate
selves as a profound vehicle for strengthening a marriage.
Every great marriage is a self-centered marriage because
it's a bond between two whole, centered people. Calmly
focusing on your own behavior, choices, and moods—which you
can control—rather than your spouse’s—which you cannot—is
the first step toward creating the relationship you really
crave. Using accessible anecdotes and disarming humor,
Runkel disproves prevailing marital wisdom and reveals a
revolutionary path for spouses to be fully themselves, and
fully married, at the same time.
