The authority for interpreting your partner's need for space,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breathing Room: Creating Space To Be A Couple (Paperback)
My now-fiancé and I have been trying to understand each other's respective need for space / intimacy for over a year now. This book is the Rosetta Stone and serves as a translator for those who confuse the need for space with rejection. This wonderful book has helped me not just understand her point of view, but my own as well, as if from a third-party perspective. That has been the real key in helping our previously-floundering and questioning relationship achieve a new level of intimacy and understanding.

Excellent couples book!!,

This review is from: Breathing Room: Creating Space To Be A Couple (Paperback)
I am the webowner of Mental Health Today. This book discusses the all important and often misunderstood art of being intimate without being stifling. Great Affirmations along with couples discussion topics and exercises. Great primer on setting boundaries both inside and outside your relationship. Also discuss your behaviors when your boundaries have been crossed. I would consider this a wonderful book for the couple searching for intimacy, without feeling overwhelmed.

A ground breaking book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breathing Room: Creating Space To Be A Couple (Paperback)
Breathing Room is a "must buy" for anyone that is currently in or wants to be in a relationship. Dr. Savage takes the notion of space to new heights. The reader comes away with a better understanding of space, self, and the insight to give his/her relationship room to grow. Breathing Room is an informative book that is written in a way that is easy to understand. This is a deep and thought provoking book. I highly recommend it!
