📚 Getting the Love You Want by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt

This guide for couples by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt was first published in 1988. It sets out Imago Relationship Therapy, the couples approach the two authors created together.

Key Themes

• Why we choose the partners we do
• How unmet childhood needs feed power struggles
• Exercises to help couples listen to each other
• Cutting out negativity and becoming passionate friends

Sissoo recommends this because our closest relationships shape so much of daily life. The book offers couples a clear way to look at old patterns, with practical exercises to try together. The third edition, from 2019, is fully revised, with a new foreword and a new chapter.
