LASTING LOVE:THE 5 SECRETS OF GROWING A VITAL, CONSCIOUS RELATIONSHIP

This follow-up ebook to the best-selling book Conscious Loving takes on two of the most pressing problems that sap vitality and energy from our committed relationship: how to forge a closer relationship that still allows each partner full creative autonomy, and how to generate the passion and preserve the harmony essential to keeping long-term partnerships alive and blooming.

Lasting Love grew out of the laboratory of our 28-year marriage as well as our 10-year study of more than 2,000 long-term committed couples. We discovered that the most common couples conflicts could be traced to at least one of five root causes:

• An imbalance between the creative energy each partner contributes to the relationship
• A lack of emotional honesty
• An unwillingness to accept responsibility for everyday issues
• Deep-seated commitment issues
• A deficiency of daily appreciations

Using these insights as a starting point, we devised a program based on five vital actions that simultaneously lead to a deeper flow of intimacy between partners and greater creative freedom for each individual.

Spend time expressing your own creativity rather than focusing on “fixing” your partner
Eliminate the barrier to speaking and hearing the truth about everything
Break the cycle of blame and criticism permanently
Make commitments you can really stand by, come home to and use to steer your relationship
Become a master of verbal and non-verbal appreciation

Filled with helpful real-life scenarios and straightforward advice, Lasting Love is an essential guide for anyone involved in a relationship who wants it not only to last but to flourish.
