It takes two to tango

When we decide to build relationships, we must remember: there are no correct recipes; everyone will forge their unique path. Some will marry, while others will build long-term relationships without official marriage registration. Some will have children, and some will live without them. Some will be with people of the opposite sex, others with people of the same sex. In all these situations, there will be something in common and something uniquely yours, special.

In the book, psychologist-psychotherapist Volodymyr Stanchyshyn talks about similar moments that every couple may experience. What happens when the first stage of infatuation ends? Why are crises and conflicts normal? How does life change when a couple has a baby? How can parents survive the "explosion" of a child's adolescence? What stages does a family raising a child with a disability go through? Why is domestic violence not a private matter and needs to be discussed? How do family members live when there is an alcohol-addicted person? How to survive the loss of a partner?

The author does not offer action plans, ready-made answers, or advice. Instead, drawing from hours of his practice, he covers those life situations that his clients most often talk about.
