No partnership will endure without conflicts and mutual injuries over the years. However, what matters when two people want to maintain their common ground is summarized by the author in the magic word "respect." The book illustrates through many commendable examples how respect and consideration manifest concretely in everyday life, and how they can be upheld, protected, and consciously regained. Respect - an outdated virtue? Not at all, as the author argues that mutual recognition and appreciation are the elixirs of life for successful partnerships. The book by the experienced couples therapist discusses the importance of respect and mutual consideration in daily relationships, the ways to uphold, protect, and, if necessary, rediscover them. But what do respect, consideration, and appreciation mean in concrete terms? How can we often thoughtlessly avoid disrespectful behavior?.
