Love Every Day: 365 Relational Self-Awareness Practices To Help Your Relationship Heal, Grow, and Thrive

This modern, thoughtful guide to love by clinical psychologist Solomon (the Family Inst., Northwestern Univ.; Loving Bravely) takes readers through 365 days of prompts and questions to help them heal and grow through relational self-awareness. Each entry covers one of nine central themes such as “healing the past” and “transforming conflict.” A glossary explains unfamiliar terms, and there are extra resources on finding a therapist or accessing crisis support. There is also a “Themes by Date” section, allowing users to “choose their own adventure”: select a theme, such as “practicing self-awareness,” then jump to applicable dated entries. Solomon takes care when discussing more difficult topics and provides disclaimers at the start and throughout to help readers recognize the difference between a healthy relationship and domestic abuse. This book is suitable for all couples and avoids heteronormative language while addressing particular dynamics relating to LGBTQIA+ relationships. The entries are thorough and thought-provoking while providing tangible actions readers can take to improve their romantic relationships.
