The New Marriage - Part Four of Four
When we are children we do not yet have an identity. We learn about who we are through the mirroring that we get from our parents.

The New Marriage - Part Three of Four

The attachment style tends to persist into adulthood but is not fixed and can be modified either positively or negatively as the result of further interactions.
