If, like me, you've tried everything to save a floundering marriage, Dr. Demartini may be your last and best hope. My husband and I attended one of his "Breakthrough Experience" workshops a couple of months ago and it was a revelation - we definitely had a breakthrough! This book puts on paper most of what we learned in the workshop but is obviously aimed more specifically at relationships. Even if you don't do all of the exercises with the intensity he suggests, I challenge anyone one to participate in his techniques and not experience a profound and lasting change in the way you experience your relationships - all of them - spouses, kids, parents, friends...the lot. The only reason I haven't given this book five stars is that it moves quite quickly and not all of the concepts are rounded out enough, especially if you have no prior knowledge of Dr. Demartini's work. Even so, it ultimately delivers what is promised in the title: a way to move beyond fantasy and into true relationship fulfillment.

This is an easy to read book that challenges traditional thinking around relationships and helps people debunk myths around how relationships are "supposed to be" - myths that we often unconsciously took on board as young children and because no one ever showed us the reality, we repeatedly failed to achieve the fairytale. Demartini offers people the process of getting real about relationships and accepting full responsibility for the relationships we choose to have in our lives. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to have meaningful relationships, or want to help their kids understand relationships before they get 'serious' about finding the perfect one.
