Why is love so difficult? Is there such a thing as a soulmate? Why can't I find someone to love me just the way I am? Why does the person I gave my heart to in the early days now feel so distant or even dangerous? When love goes bad, is there a way to turn things around? If we lost each other along the way, can we find each other again? In the wake of betrayal, can trust ever be rebuilt?
In this helpful and enlightening book, expert couples therapist, Dr. Chelsea Wakefield, explains why couples who begin with such hopeful expectations become disenchanted, withdraw into self-protection or become entangled in unresolvable conflicts. She provides step by step guidance out of these shadowlands, and teaches six essential "love capacities" any couple can develop that will open the path to a soulful, enduring relationship.

-Polly Young-Eisendrath, Ph.D., Author of Love Between Equals and Dialogue Therapy for Couples and Real Dialogue for Opposing Sides (with Jean Pieniadz)
"We say we value relationships so much, but why are so many distressed, so many ending in bitterness and recrimination? Wakefield's Labyrinth of Love brings together the best thinking of many depth psychologists who address this dilemma, and adds her own personal and clinical experience to provide a rich source of information, insight, helpfulness, practical guidance, and finally, wisdom, for the reader. Any reader will leave this book more informed, more thoughtful, and more equipped for the adventure and accountability that relationship asks of us."

While there are many good books about improving your marriage by solving problems, there are few that help you realize the full potential of why you got together. If you are a reader who wants to understand how to thrive amongst the challenges of intimacy, you will find your answers here. Get this book immediately and travel with Chelsea as she helps you build an inspired future of communication, deep connection and creation."
