Can a loving relationship endure career setbacks, infidelities, and mismatched sexual desires? This is the question psychologist Bonnie Comfort grapples with as she navigates her unpredictable thirty-year marriage to Hollywood screenwriter Bob, while she provides marital therapy to others. Bob is affectionate, brilliant, and hilarious—but his sexual desires are incompatible with Bonnie’s. Despite her misgivings, she indulges his kinks, which often included photographing her in lingerie.

A long-term marriage has to move beyond chemistry to compatibility, to friendship, to companionship. As Newbery Medal winner Madeleine L'Engle describes a relationship characterized by compassion, respect, and growth, as well as challenge and conflict, she beautifully evokes the life she and her husband, actor Hugh Franklin, built and the family they cherished. Beginning with their very different childhoods, L'Engle chronicles the twists and turns that led two young artists to New York City in the 1940s.

Niekiedy w związku partnerskim bądź w relacji rodzinnej, możemy usłyszeć podobne słowa, jak: „Jeśli zrobisz tak jak chcę to pokocham Cię” lub „to może Cię będę kochać nadal” lub „Jeśli zachowasz się kulturalnie podczas czasu separacji i rozwodu, to może zostaniemy nadal przyjaciółmi”, albo „Udowodnij mi, że mnie kochasz”. W takiej relacji wciąż jedna osoba ma ciągłe żądania, roszczenia a druga stara się spełniać jej zachcianki, kaprysy i fanaberie. Dlaczego? Bo drugiej jej bardziej zależy na ich związku niż tej niedojrzałej – manipulującej roszczeniami?
