For each of these Danger Zones, we'll teach you: what they are, why they emerge, and how they work, and, we'll also equip you with a full complement of tools, strategies and techniques you can use to: keep your relationship in excellent health; address and resolve any problems that may be surfacing or present in your relationship now, and/or to rekindle your relationship if it has lost its spark.
