Deeply informed by her own experience of divorce, Walker knows that when a couple begins to anguish over the \"good times\" of the past, their relationship has reached a critical juncture. It's likely time to make the most important decision of the rest of their lives: exit and seek a new, temporary romance, or engage in authentic conversation fueled by daring openness, deep listening, emotional insight, endless curiosity, and a desire to overcome any obstacle-together. Understanding that many people hold a fairy-tale picture of love as a pretty lie built on the fickle recollection of honeymoon ecstasy, Walker shows us how building a foundation of understanding can help lead to true, lasting love that grows richer by the day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eGuide to Lasting Love: A Therapist's 21-Day Program to a Fulfilling Relationship\u003c\/em\u003e, Walker teaches couples how to: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMove away from destructive criticism and toward constructive empathy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurmount the difficulties of personality differences and enjoy their rewards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffectively reduce their stress through team cooperation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvestigate their \"unconscious agenda\" in order to set more reasonable expectations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinvigorate intimacy with out-of-the-box thinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eNow happily married with credit to her own relationship strategies, Walker knows firsthand that just because bonds break does not mean they are meant to be broken-they're just waiting for the real conversation-and the possibility for love's lasting return-to begin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reta Faye Walker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612546978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612546971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brown Books Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Reta Faye Walker","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46465682112767,"sku":"9781612546971","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_695d2c2e-0e40-4516-bb4e-cb998ee93d65.jpg?v=1736346974","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/guide-to-lasting-love-reta-faye-walker-9781612546971","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
