Countless books and articles offer “help and advice” on the subject of love and relationship. Countless couples have gone further, seeking additional “help and advice” from counselors and therapists for everything from infidelity, sex and money to in-laws, childrearing and lifestyles. Most of this advice, which focuses on the problems without understanding the hidden causes, doesn’t really deliver. In the end, couples are left coping with symptoms rather than addressing the causes responsible for relationship problems, such as loss of interest, trust, excitement, joy and the inability to take challenges in stride.

Understanding the attachment issues behind both the symptoms and causes of relationship problems is what this article is all about. These insights get directly to the heart of successful and enduring love relationships.
