      abstract = {This distinctive volume expands our understanding of  couple resilience by identifying and exploring specific  mechanisms unique to intimate relationships that facilitate  positive adaptation to life challenges. Committed  partnerships represent a unique form of relational alliance  that offers an opportunity and challenge to go beyond the  self - to develop as individuals and as a relationship. The  contributors to this volume represent a range of  perspectives that integrate conventional relationship  science and innovative empirical and theoretical work on  the importance of meaning-making, narrative construction,  intersubjectivity, forgiveness, and positive emotion in  couple life. The volume also offers a unique anchor point -  'We-ness' as it relates to the intersection between shared,  and personal identity and well-being. Under-examined  relational contexts such as resilience among LGBT partners  and sexual resilience during illness adds further  refinement of thought and application. .},
