With divorce rates increasing year after year, many couples feel the
odds are stacked against a happy marriage. Marriage and Family
Counselor Shannon Sheridan proves they’re not. The Couple’s Thrival
Guide adopts a non-pathological approach, helping couples to focus on
the solution rather than on the problem, and teaches couples to
examine old and often false beliefs that continue to influence and
impact them in their relationship with each other. People emerge
empowered and motivated feeling more hopeful and optimistic in their
ability to work through relationship conflicts. For the first time,
this uniquely successful approach to couples therapy is available in
book form to guide couples through each partner’s self-discovery
journey and to converge their paths—allowing them to thrill in each
other and their loving relationship.
The Couple’s Thrival Guide invites partners to find ways to empower
their individuality and bring that strength to their relationship.
Each chapter succinctly examines the individual’s role in personal and
relationship happiness—from the law of attraction to the stance dance
and ingredients of an interaction. The book incorporates exercises for
partners to do alone and together and teaches couples the value of
appreciation and the statement of “what we focus on grows.” The book
examines the importance of discovering the thoughts and beliefs that
may hold us in difficult places and the power of our resulting
emotions to guide us back to ourselves and each other. It supports
couples in learning how to separate themselves from the experience
their partner may be having and the power of staying connected to
oneself.
Through this book, couples are invited to practice new ways of
experiencing themselves and hence each other without some of the
common pitfalls of relationship. The Couple’s Thrival Guide is
enlightening, empowering, and monumental in its approach to couples
happiness.
