Summary:
A small lie about a purchase, a slight exaggeration about a job promotion, a cover-up about a forgotten birthday. According to renowned psychologist Joel D. Block, it is these common, everyday breaches of trust that erode even the strongest relationships, often as much as sexual infidelity. Over time, intimate confidences are weakened and the foundation of trust -- and the relationship itself -- begins to crumble. Broken Promises, Mended Hearts offers couples and individuals an innovative, solution-oriented approach to restoring trust and repairing love relationships damaged by mistrust. Filled with inspiring case studies and numerous self-diagnostic tests. Trust is the bedrock of any love relationship. It is Dr. Block's firm belief that when couples feel emotionally safe with each other -- when they trust each other -- their relationship is more open, uninhibited, and passionate.
