Marriage as a Path to Wholeness Harville Hendrix

From the author of the national bestseller Getting the Love You Want, a challenging workshop tape on how to create a more fulfilling marriage. Dr. Hendrix breaks down the gates that have confined our understanding of marriage to a 19th-century viewpoint. Marriage is in fact the ultimate way to a meaningful spiritual life, rooted in our primordial relationship with nature. Hendrix shows how images mirrored in the unconscious from childhood can trap you into recreating parent-child conflicts. Topics: The dream marriage; history of Western marriage; rupture with the divine; parental innocence and childhood; guilt; finishing childhood and the unconscious drives; healing the wound of nature; the Imago Therapy concept; nature and the free choice marriage; Imago dialogue exercises and more.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must Listen for Couples!, May 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Marriage As a Path to Wholeness (Audio Cassette)

This tape is an excellent companion to Harville Hendrix's "Getting the Love you Want: A Guide for Couples". The recording was made at one of Hendrix's relationship workshops. Tape one is a fascinating coverage of relationships from a historical perspective. Tape two has practical hands-on exercises that couples can use to enrich their relationships. Listening to couples work through the exercises gave me hope for my relationship. My husband, not a traditionally touchy-feely person, also enjoyed the tapes, which I bought for him as I was reading "Getting the Love you Want".

This review is from: Marriage As a Path to Wholeness (Audio Cassette)

I tried to listen to this tape series and after 15 minutes had to turn it off because it seems the speaker is more interested in showing off his vocabulary than getting his thoughts across. Unless you have a doctorate in English, I would not recommend this tape.
