About the course

Many people assume that relationship problems happen because one person is selfish, uncaring, or unwilling to change. While individual behaviour matters, most relationship difficulties are more complicated than that. Couples often become trapped in patterns they do not fully understand. The more disconnected they feel, the harder they try to be understood, and the more likely they are to accidentally push each other further away. Why Love Goes Wrong explores the common processes that contribute to relationship distress. You will learn why emotional disconnection hurts so deeply, how negative interaction cycles develop, why partners often become opponents instead of teammates, and why many relationship struggles are driven by understandable attempts to protect the relationship rather than destroy it. By the end of the course, you will have a clearer understanding of how healthy relationships become strained and what makes change possible. What you'll receive: • Lifetime access • 11 self-paced lessons • Certificate of completion • Access on desktop, tablet, or mobile • A deeper understanding of relationship conflict and disconnection

The How Relationships Work series combines decades of relationship research with clear, everyday language that individuals and couples can immediately apply to their lives.
