Are you often confused about why your partner is so angry with you? Are things getting worse and worse even though you've tried everything you can think of to make them better? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this breakthrough guide to repairing romantic relationships, therapist and marriage researcher Dr. Stephen Betchen presents a powerful new explanation of what leads to this kind of escalating conflict in couples and how you can repair your relationship and find a whole new level of happiness. Based on his extensive experience as a couples' therapist, Dr. Betchen has discovered that the prevailing idea that opposites attract is wrong. Instead, one of the strongest forces that attracts people to one another is that they share a hidden, inner conflict in their lives--an unconscious struggle within themselves that each of them developed growing up--which he calls a \"master conflict.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe fact that a couple shares a master conflict acts as an almost magnetic force of attraction, but, over time, master conflicts often begin to push a pair apart--many of the very things you most appreciated about each other start to grate on you, producing increasing hostility.
