Book suggests ways to plant seeds of love, harvest its fruit,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trusting You Are Loved - Practices for Partnership (Paperback)
Two years ago in (my) column ("Relating" -- Hawaii Advertiser), I wrote that Dr. John Gottman, the foremost researcher on marriage interaction, concluded that in truly successful marriages, there was a 5-to-1 ratio of positive to negative messages. Lots of good strokes and very few "zingers." The question people ask is, "But how do we do that (if we are more accustomed to fighting than supporting)?" Good news: help is available, in practical terms, in a recent book, "Trusting You are Loved: Practices for Partnership" (This) is a book about "marriage gardening" that is both inspirational and practical. It teaches about compassionate listening (paying deep attention), expressing appreciation (nourishing), dealing with upsets (pruning and weeding), and experiencing safety and intimacy (harvesting the fruits of the marriage garden). The header on the back of this enormously sensible book reads: Imagine being in a relationship where you feel profoundly honored, listened to, appreciated, loved, and safe." Do we not all yearn for such a relationship? Yes, indeed. Lew Epstein, writing in partnership with his wife and daughter of The Partnership Foundation, describes how such relationships are possible. As written by exemplars of successful marriages instead of by therapists, the book is refreshingly practical and free of clinical jargon. (Their website is www.partnership.org)

Awesome Book!,

This review is from: Trusting You Are Loved - Practices for Partnership (Paperback)
I have read this book over and over again, sometimes in its entirety, sometimes in bits and pieces. My partner and I were fortunate enough to take the 2.5 day class called "Trusting you are Loved" in Dallas and it was a relationship saver! Imagine relationships without fear, distrust, anxiety and anger. This book makes it possible! I also learned that it isnt so much the relationship I have with him, but the one I have with myself that makes the biggest difference!

This review is from: Trusting You Are Loved - Practices for Partnership (Paperback)
Trusting You Are Loved gives the reader the pratical communication tools to have a wonderful relationship that most of only dream about. The author get to the heart of why relationships fail but more importantly, he provides the steps on how to create a partnership relationship based on all the key ingredients: trust, love, respect, forgiveness, and more. I read this book in one sitting! I teach parenting classes and recommend this book to all the parents, single or married, in my classes. The relationships in my life are so much richer, peaceful, loving, and joyous having implemented these steps in each one of them. T. Altwies
