What makes some couples achieve happy long-lasting relationships, while others, try and try but do not? The human quest for a successful long-term relationship has produced a plethora of hypotheses, psychological theories and a lot of popular advice about how to improve relationships. This book is about how to forge a successful, lasting relationship by accepting and practising the good-enough paradigm. Psychologists, counsellors and individuals are offered a new way of understanding and looking at relationships. A new perspective shows how to leave old hurts behind, how to understand destructive behaviour patters and how to gain new insights into whether one is trapped in the blame game or in sabotaging behaviour. One will learn that no relationship has a fairy-tale ending. One will also come to realise that by accepting a relationship as being "good-enough", it will be one of the most liberating and empowering shifts that one will ever make.
