From ecstasy to withdrawal, the lover resembles an addict. George Bernard Shaw knew the power of romantic love and attachment. Both, I will maintain, are addictions—wonderful addictions when the relationship is going well; horribly negative addictions when the partnership breaks down. Moreover, these love addictions evolved a long time ago, as Lucy and her relatives and friends roamed the grass of east Africa some 3.2 million years ago.

One of the most important things we can do to support lifelong loving relationships is continue to learn about one another. When we start out in relationships we are fascinated. We stay up all night talking. We can’t wait to learn more about each other.
Over time we stop being curious. We start thinking we know everything about our partner. Which is impossible- every one of us grows every single day.
But when we stop being curious and start making assumptions about the people in our lives we start running into problems. We stop letting our spouse or sweetheart surprise us and things get a little blah. It’s not uncommon to end up in a conversation rut in a long term partnership.

Stop Fighting With Your Partner, and Start Fighting With Yourself". What Most People Want Out Of Couples Therapy The majority of couples who enter couples therapytypically want one thing: They want their spouse to be different. Many people in unsettling and dissatisfying relationships have come to believe that their discomfort or unhappiness is a result of their partner’s actions, and if only their partner would change, things would feel and be much better. The problem herein lies usually that both parties in the relationship want each other to change, and most typically neither of them are willing to change. And so, we have a classic standoff; you change first, then maybe I’ll consider changing. In other words, “I need YOU to be different, because I am fine”.
