Publisher Description
Perfect for couples struggling with resentment and confusion.
A damaged man is incapable of love because he does not believe love will be freely given, only earned through works. He seeks false intimacy in lust and mistakes sex for acceptance. These men seek insecure women who believe themselves unlovable and who use sex to earn approval.
When these couples enter into marriage, unmet needs and secret expectations pile up until the relationship is full of festering resentment. Along come children who add greater urgency to fixing the emotional damage. But with no hope in sight, what can the couples do except march toward inevitable divorce?
Licensed marriage and family therapist Adam Lane Smith walks couples through explanations and solutions to these problems. This short and simple book is designed to give couples the skills they need to repair a resentful and empty marriage. Through simple techniques, committed couples can alter their perspective, climb out of their trenches, and learn to work together in an intimate partnership.

Came here after podcast with mikhaila
I was diagnosed with bipolar and hospitalized with psychosis/mania and have severe attachment trauma and abuse from both parents. his commentary on how the brain shuts down negative emotion and allows a break is exactly what happened to me. I came home one day and was “done”. I had enough and all my cares and inhibitions went away. After being released from the inpatient program I realized I had needs. My husband and i are starting to dive into our relationship and our needs and communicating them. Everything he mentioned in that podcast we struggle with, from both sides. I trust what he says because everything he’s talked about has laid out my situation and marriage to a t. Even the part where you have kids and want a completely different life for them and to change everything. I wish I would have found his content sooner. Attachment is so underrated and I had to write a review in case someone is deciding whether to purchase the book. I don’t think this is going to be like every lame self help book out there. This gets to the root of the problem.
