A compact Jungian exploration of romantic partnership that uses myth and clinical insight to trace how early wounds and unconscious projections shape the 'we' between lovers; it explains why people idealize and then disappoint each other, fall into repetitive pursuit-withdrawal patterns, and how through awareness, integration of shadow elements, honest responsibility for projections, and conscious ritualizing of union and separation, couples can move from fantasy-bound romance to mature, individuated companionship.
