Attachment theory has generated a lot of press attention recently. But Couple Fits is the first book to apply the principles to building healthier relationships and reducing conflict. Our first attachment relationship -- as infants to our mothers -- remains with us throughout our lives, and determines our future relationships with others. This book describes the three styles of attachment and provides a self-test so readers are able to determine their own style and their partner's. The authors then give tips for each possible combination of attachment types.
Readers will learn: -- The identity of the three attachment styles: Secure, Avoidant, and Ambivalent -- How to communicate with your partner more effectively about your wants and needs, and encourage him/ her to do the same -- How to "read" arguments correctly, by recognizing the issues at stake -- How to give negative feedback in a positive way, so that disagreements don't escalate into major fights
