Dating, relationships, living together & marriage

Now in paperback, author of the bestselling ScreamFree Parenting Hal Runkel shows couples how keeping your cool, staying calm in the face of conflict, taking responsibility only for yourself, and becoming more responsible to your relationship is the key to a close, warm, and happy marriage.

In the best-selling ScreamFree Parenting, Hal Runkel showed thousands of parents how focusing on themselves, in order to keep their cool, can revolutionize their family life. In his groundbreaking new book, The Self-Centered Marriage, Runkel now shows couples how learning to focus on themselves, in order to stay calm in the face of common marital conflicts, is the key to creating a deep, lifelong connection.

Every committed couple strives to hold on to the marriage they envisioned back when they first said ""I do""--before kids, mortgages, and all of life's inescapable issues seemed to get in the way. But the truth is this- conflict about these issues is unavoidable. What typically results are two spouses feeling forced to compromise themselves in order to just get along and keep it together. Eventually couples start ""screaming"" at each other--sometimes literally yelling out loud, sometimes shutting themselves down and shutting their partners out.

In The Self-Centered Marriage, therapist and bestselling author Hal Runkel introduces some radical new concepts about marriage, teaching couples how to embrace their separate selves as a profound vehicle for strengthening a marriage. Every great marriage is a self-centered marriage because it's a bond between two whole, centered people. Calmly focusing on your own behavior, choices, and moods-which you can control-rather than your spouse's-which you cannot-is the first step toward creating the relationship you really crave. Using accessible anecdotes and disarming humor, Runkel disproves prevailing marital wisdom and reveals a revolutionary path for spouses to be fully themselves, and fully married, at the same time.
