Relationship: The Real Deal returns couples to the experience of freedom, ease, and satisfaction that is natural to relationship by revealing the real causes of the breakdowns that displace that experience.

Relationship is the natural state of being human and is fundamental to everyone’s experience of being known, valued, and fulfilled. So how is it that many relationships which begin with love or friendship turn sour … or even collapse?



In straightforward, lighthearted language, founders of RelationshipByDesign™ Lon and Sandy Golnick guide couples on a journey through their own experience, rather than feeding them data from endless studies of others in an attempt to help understand their own relationship. Readers discover how they were destined to experience disappointments, upsets, and frustrations in a relationship and why attempts to improve, fix, or change their relationship, their partner, and themselves only exacerbate the problems. Lon and Sandy disclose hidden truths about the nature and design of relationship and illuminate previously unseen mechanisms that undermine all relationships. Relationship: The Real Deal is an opportunity for couples to break free of relationship killers and experience freedom—a pathway for creating new relationship unfettered by the past.
