The Practice of Love: Break Old Patterns, Rebuild Trust, and Create a Connection That Lasts

Summary

A master class in relationship repair and connection.

For far too long it has been assumed that we should innately understand how to love one another. But we are not born knowing how to make a relationship work, any more than we are born knowing how to file taxes or buy insurance, and there are no classes in high school or college that teach us how to do this. The Practice of Love is that class.

Lair Torrent brings together concepts and tools that can help couples heal for the long haul. Going beyond the symptoms most therapies focus on, he helps couples develop a deeper understanding of the wounds that brought them together and how they show up in their relationships. The Five Practices give readers an opportunity to weed out and take responsibility for limiting or negative habits while allowing them to learn and adopt healthier practices with their partner. These are not short-term solutions, but rather a path to profound healing, deeper connection, and stronger, happier relationships.
