We all have faulty thinking when it comes to our closest relationships.

True or False: - It's wrong to be selfish in a relationship. - If we're not having a lot of sex, we're not in love. - Men aren't as romantic as women. - It's better to hold back and not argue about it. - You should never give up looking for your soulmate. Stronger Than You Think presents a refreshing and eye-opening new take on the relationship genre and gives readers a guided tour of the most common blind spots that plague relationships at all the major friction points. Blind spots are the key questions you aren't asking, the signals you're missing, the signs you aren't seeing, qualities that you're overvaluing, or the indicators you're misinterpreting.
