Members of a couple brings along their own behavioral habits inherited from a model of family learned in childhood. The author deciphers the unconscious weight of this legacy on the major stages of couple building: wedding, birth of a child, death of parent(s). She analyzes the problems most frequently encountered in a couple’s daily life: money, sex, infidelity, lack of communication. Exercises and specific tools will help couples become conscious of the various influences at work, and reinvent their personal realities as a couple.
