For various reasons, the topic of relationships mobilizes us all. In this book, Elma Roura provides us with practical tools to observe our relationships more clearly and remind us that having a healthy relationship is possible.

Why do we experience so many difficulties in our relationships? Love is wonderful, yes, but most people have dysfunctional relationships that perpetuate bonding patterns that they carry from childhood and that generate a lot of suffering. They have not taught us to generate healthy bonds.

To have relationships that work, the first step is to investigate our relational patterns and recognize our emotional wounds. It is necessary to dismantle the myth of romantic love ("love endures everything" or "love is for life"), which does not mean giving up the idea of a couple, but knowing how to place it in a broader and more balanced perspective. And this book, precisely, helps us question and redefine our own notion of a couple.

Elma Roura offers us a detailed journey through each of the stages of relationships. It addresses central topics such as emotional dependence, toxic relationships, the pillars of healthy relationships, sexuality in the couple and emotional responsibility, among others. It provides us with a practical tool to break our patterns. And he invites us, throughout the entire book, to identify what a "no" is, in order to find our "yes." We are so used to having relationships that don't work that we forget that having a healthy relationship is possible.

«For whatever reason, from an emotional and sexual level, the issue of relationships mobilizes us all. That is why I am very excited to contribute my grain of sand so that, perhaps, after reading these pages, you will observe your relationships with greater clarity and have more peace. Elma Roura
