Into the book
Conflict is a rite of passage that every couple goes through after marriage.
It comes to every couple without exception, and it is perhaps like a homework that they will have to do for the rest of their lives.
In this way, discord between couples is not a matter of choice, but a challenge that everyone faces on the shared journey of marriage.
Discord arises regardless of economic level, educational background, personality differences, or physical condition.
The heat generated when substances combine is called heat of reaction in physical terms.
When we consider married life as a process in which a man and a woman, two different individuals, meet and become one, it is rather strange that there is no passion in this process.
Conflict is a process that couples must experience on their journey to happiness.
--- p.35
When I conduct couples seminars, I sometimes ask couples a question.
“What happens when there is marital conflict?” a wife responded to my question.
“I don’t want to cook!”
Then another husband at another table responds immediately.
“I won’t eat it even if you give it to me!” When there is conflict between couples, negative feelings towards each other become strong and they react in a rigid manner.
The speed at which they react is incredibly fast.
Emotions create relationships, and relationships create personal emotions.
Positive emotions create positive marital relationships.
The two symptoms of marital discord described above are closely related to emotions.
--- p.75
Emotionally focused couples therapy has a significantly lower relapse rate than other couples therapy methods.
It helps you break out of negative cycles and establish positive ones.
Just because couples therapy ends doesn't mean your fights will completely disappear.
Even happy couples fight and have conflicts.
But after an argument, the time it takes for them to approach each other, respond, and return to their daily lives is short.
Once you have the courage to approach your spouse, that experience will gradually show up in your daily life.
Even if there is a fight, you can apologize first rather than becoming destructive, or you can express your attachment needs and fears well to get your spouse's consent.
--- p.118
When we remember the hurt caused by infidelity, the hurt diminishes.
The perpetrator's mindset of 'I will always remember it and share the pain' is the antidote that makes the trauma disappear.
A couple's relationship can be restored gradually like that.
Even if your marriage is suffering now due to serious wounds such as infidelity, you must not give up hope that it can be restored.
When two people are having a hard time resolving a matter, they should seek out a recovery specialist, not a divorce lawyer.

Publisher's Review
Conflict in marriage is an unwelcome guest that comes to everyone.
Relationships that started out of love often become distant over time, and in the end, people often end up breaking up, leaving only wounds behind.
However, Director Park Seong-deok, who has 30 years of experience in couples therapy, says:
“No matter what the circumstances, couples can find happiness again.” This book, “But We Can’t Break Up,” psychologically analyzes the conflicts couples experience and presents practical solutions.
What is the real cause of marital conflict?
Author Park Seong-deok, a psychiatrist, has written this book based on his experiences and insights gained from counseling over 3,000 couples.
He explains that the family environment of one's original family has a great influence on the current marital relationship.
This is because the patterns of love and conflict we learn from our parents as children are directly reflected in our married lives as adults.
Most marital conflicts arise from this background.
.
What happens after the expiration date of love?
The passionate love that begins in marriage is bound to cool over time.
When the so-called "expiration date of love" passes and the excitement and passion fade, realistic problems tend to come to the fore.
How you overcome this period can determine the future of your relationship.
In this book, the author details the process of moving beyond longing and attraction to attachment.
Why is communication between couples difficult?
Most conflicts between couples stem from a lack of communication.
In our busy daily lives, there are many cases where we fail to properly understand each other's feelings.
The author emphasizes that it is important for couples to understand and be considerate of each other's feelings.
For readers in their 30s and 40s in particular, balancing work and family life can be a huge challenge.
This book provides specific methods on how to overcome these difficulties.
Real-world examples and practical advice
The book presents the causes and solutions to marital problems through various counseling cases.
For example, it shows how a wife who is tired of her husband's indifference can express her feelings and how her husband can accept them.
In addition, based on the experience gained through countless couples counseling sessions, the book helps readers find solutions that are right for them through various cases, such as couples suffering from infidelity, couples struggling due to lack of communication, or couples experiencing conflict over child-rearing issues.
These cases provide practical advice that readers can apply to their own situations.
