About the Book

Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples is a landmark and enduringly popular relationship book by psychologist Dr. Harville Hendrix, presenting the foundational principles of Imago Relationship Therapy, an approach he developed to help couples understand and transform the recurring conflicts that so often derail romantic relationships. First published decades ago and continually updated, the book has sold millions of copies worldwide and remains one of the most trusted resources for couples seeking to move beyond frustration and disconnection toward what Hendrix calls "conscious partnership."

At the heart of the book is Hendrix's central insight: we are often unconsciously drawn to partners who resemble our early caregivers, both in positive and painful ways, and many of the recurring frustrations in adult relationships are rooted in unresolved childhood wounds being unconsciously replayed. Rather than framing this as a problem to escape, Hendrix presents it as an opportunity for profound healing and growth, offering couples a structured framework and practical exercises — including the well-known Imago Dialogue technique — for improving communication, understanding each other's core needs, and breaking free of the reactive conflict cycles that often trap long-term partnerships. Combining psychological insight with hands-on exercises couples can do together, the book equips readers to move from "unconscious" relating, driven by old wounds and reflexive reactions, toward a more conscious, intentional, and deeply connected partnership.
