In Romance Rehab, 10 Steps to Rescue Your Relationship, (Sterling / January 2010), Dr. Jan Hoistad, who has been showing couples how to rehab their romance through Big Picture Partnering for more than thirty years, teaches you her innovative 10-Step approach to creating a relationship that will last longer and stay stronger because both partners are getting what they most want in life. Once you’ve completed the 10-Step course, you’ll emerge as full-fledged Big Picture Partners, equipped with a set of tools to keep you connected, communicating, and reaching for your dreams together.

Romance Rehab will effectively help you:

  • Take a step back and look at the Big Picture of their relationship—what they value, desire, and envision.
  • Pinpoint their individual relationship style and explain how to focus on the positive aspects of their connection,
    identify common goals, and find enjoyable ways to stay committed.
  • Apply their Big Picture aspirations to the daily details of life—how they manage everything from household chores and schedules to finances, sexuality, and minor disagreements.
