A roadmap for couples in crisis to repair and reset their relationship
Conflict and turmoil?the intimacy of everyday life?is the foundation great relationships are built on. Creating and maintaining a great marriage, relationship, or partnership is hard work, but nobody teaches you how to do it. Based on decades of helping couples address conflict and achieve long-lasting love, the authors created a simple five-step process for reconciling differences, taking couples in crisis from rupture to repair. Their tool?the PACER model (Pause, Accountability, Collaboration, Experiment, and Reset)?takes into account cultural differences, past hurts, and current crises. It is an opportunity for not just healing but for growth. Packed with dozens of client anecdotes, interactive exercises, and stories of the authors' relationship as a mixed-race couple.
Love. Crash. Rebuild. is grounded in the language of diversity and offers readers in any type of romantic partnership?straight, gay, nonbinary, interracial, etc.?a single toolbox that can help bring a new understanding that makes real change possible and what a successful relationship should look like.
