It Doesn't Have to Be So Hard: The Secrets to Finding and Keeping Intimacy

"We cannot get enough of doomed lovers separated by betrayal, taboo and violence as long as they stay on the screen or the page. In our own beds we want the Hollywood ending. But despite the hype, relationships are tumbling like a proverbial rock fall. But all around us, divorce statistics rocket as the hopes of lonely singles plummet. In an age of financial and political uncertainty, love is the only thing left to believe in. So why do we give up on it so easily? Through interlocking stories that are moving, funny and all too familiar, Joanne Fedler and Graeme Friedman combine their years of personal and professional experience to tackle the toughest of questions around intimacy. This book will change the way you see yourself, and how you think about long-term love. Finding and keeping intimacy is a massive challenge. But it is not impossible, once you know the secrets."--P.
