Love Is Not Enough: What It Takes to Make It Work

Love Is Not Enough explores why couples fall back into the same relationship traps again and again. Henry Kellerman looks at the forces that can sink a promising partnership and offers advice, drawn from research and real case stories, on how to recognise and counter them.

The central idea is that personality decides a great deal. Kellerman argues that the question is not only what each partner is like, but how the two personalities fit together. He is clear that being opposites does not automatically doom a couple, and he also shows why some combinations of habits and temperaments struggle to work.

Each chapter takes a particular kind of difference and sets out how it can be resolved, with the aim of helping partners reach the awareness and understanding that let a relationship hold together. The grounding is in the realities of relationships today.
