Publisher's summary

"The Twelve Months of Life as a Couple"
Imagine for a moment that you are about to embark on a transpacific plane trip, but without having checked the fuel needed to reach the destination. This is how many relationships begin, full of hope but precariously prepared for the journey that involves love and coexistence.
In this book, I extend an invitation to you to explore together the complex world of relationships. Throughout these pages, we will reveal the circles of life as a couple, discovering where they are and how they can strengthen their union or, if necessary, make the brave decision to stop before moving forward without proper preparation.

Welcome to a year-long journey through the seasons of love and relationships. In this book, we will explore the twelve months of life as a couple, each month representing a distinct and fundamental stage in the development of a lasting and meaningful relationship. From sparking curiosity to overcoming the most complex challenges, this book is both a guide and a companion on the journey of love.
January: The Beginnings
In the month of January, we addressed the first steps of any relationship, where everything is possible and the paths are not yet defined. Here we will learn about the importance of starting off on the right foot, establishing the foundations of honesty, respect and communication that will characterize a healthy relationship.
February: The Construction of Intimacy
February, the month of love par excellence, invites us to deepen our mutual knowledge and the construction of intimacy. We'll explore how small revelations and shared moments can strengthen bonds and set the stage for deeper engagement.
March and April: Friendship and Attraction
During March and April, we'll look at how friendship and attraction intertwine to form the fabric of our relationships. We will discuss the importance of admiring and appreciating our partner, not only as a lover, but also as a friend.
May: Passion and Romance
In May, we dive into the beating heart of romance and passion. This month is dedicated to understanding how passion can be nurtured and maintained over time, transforming into a mature and stable love.
June: Engagement
June marks a decisive moment: commitment. Here, we will reflect on what it means to 'commit' in all its dimensions, from fidelity to collaboration on shared projects and dreams.
July: Maintenance
In July, we focused on sustaining the relationship. We will learn techniques and strategies to keep the relationship fresh and vibrant, avoiding monotony and encouraging continued growth.
August to December: Overcoming Conflicts and Renewal
From August to December, the book addresses the most complex challenges, such as conflict, estrangement, loss of interest, and possible separation. We will offer tools to manage conflicts, communicate effectively during crises, and, if necessary, how to close or renew cycles in a healthy and respectful way.
This book is a testament that love is a journey, not a destination. Each chapter, each month, each stage is an invitation to understand more deeply what it means to love and be loved. It is a guide for those who wish to build lasting and fulfilling relationships, based on mutual respect and shared commitment.
Take this book as your map, your tools, and your inspiration. Together, we will explore the mysteries and wonders of the human heart, equipped with the knowledge and wisdom of one who has navigated these waters before us. Get ready for a year of discovery, growth, and most importantly, love.
