I Love You But You Always Put Me Last

In modern parenting, the established wisdom is that you should prioritize the needs of your children above all else. But relationship therapist Andrew G.

Based on twenty-five years of counselling experience, this book will help you: Maintain intimacy and strengthen your bond of love Work as a team and avoid negative parenting patterns Provide good relationship role models for your children Create a strong marriage, confident children and a happy family
