How We Love is a Two-Week Study for Married Groups. 

Your early experiences shaped your current behavior, beliefs, and expectations in all of your relationships . . . especially in your marriage. Relationship experts Milan and Kay Yerkovich have identified five different “intimacy imprints,” also called love styles, that can combine to trap married couples in repetitive patterns of conflict.
