Getting the Love You Want:
a Guide for Couples
by Harville Hendrix
Holt & Company, 2001
This is a remarkable guide for couples to help resolve conflict, complete
with exercises.
Getting the Love You Want can be insightful in recognizing the distinction
between ‘romantic’ or 'unconscious' marriage, in which individuals attempt
to get their unresolved childhood wounds healed by their partners (an
impossible expectation), versus the ‘conscious’ marriage in which each
person takes responsibility for the fulfillment of their own needs within the
marriage. The exercises provided are practical and well-structured.
This book can be studied as a self-help guide by couples who seek
direction through early conflict, or it can provide a valuable complement to
couples counselling, particularly in cases of greater conflict.
