Each relationship is as individual as the men who are involved. Rather than rely on a one-size-fits-all approach to relationship success, Dr. Jeffrey Chernin helps each of us to acquire a better understanding of ourselves and how we engage in intimate relationships. In this warm and compassionate guide, Chernin helps us answer the questions we long to answer: - How can I build a long-lasting partnership?
- Why am I afraid to get closer?
- How can I open myself to deeper, more intimate communication?
- How can I put an end to ongoing fights and stalemates with my partner?
- How can I meet someone to share my life with?
Having counseled gay men for more than a decade, Chernin shows how you, too, can build a strong, lasting relationship. Discover the love and intimacy that await you.
