For over
two decades, this book has been recognized as the established
handbook on relationships between equals. It introduced the
concept: cooperation instead of compromise or competition. It
gives clear instructions to show you how to be true to
yourself and true to your partner at the same time.
Thoroughly
revised and expanded, this new edition is written as a manual
and includes fresh and new step-by-step instructions and
guidelines to create a mutually supportive partnership
allowing each individual to be equal in a relationship. It
introduces the Negotiation Tree, an ingenious tool that
can help any couple turn a struggle or fight into a
cooperative problem-solving session.
The book
is designed especially for:
• People who seek a model for equal partnership.
• Couples who want to transform struggle into
teamwork.
• Couples who are married, cohabiting, or dating.
• Couples who are in a traditional or alternative
relationship.
How to Be
a Couple and Still Be Free
is the perfect tool for designing and creating a relationship
unique to your individual personalities and situation. With
it, any couple can learn to work together to create a loving,
sustainable, healthy, and equal partnership that you will
treasure.
