Sample Book Insights:
#1 The first truth is that the close proximity of your partner triggers old feelings because you look to your spouse to meet some of the same needs your parents were supposed to meet. The second truth is that you will never truly know yourself or your mate until you understand how each of you was shaped by your childhood experiences.
#2 I feel safe to discuss any subject with my mate. I feel safe to share my deepest feelings, even my negative emotions. I am honest with my mate. I can communicate with my spouse about areas of disagreement and conflict.
#3 The most important aspect of a marriage is to have fun together. To have fun, you must have a mutual agreement to schedule date nights.
#4 To better understand your love style, you must first reflect on your childhood experiences. Think about whether you were comforted as a child, and if so, by whom and how effective their comfort was. You should also evaluate the comfort you received in light of the three critical ingredients of comfort found on pages 15–17 of How We Love.
