Review

"...Thought-provoking, inspiring, and wise, these affirmations are little one-page teachers; if today's lesson feels like familiar territory, you can bet that tomorrow's will open your eyes to a new idea, perspective, or facet of relationship.

This wife-and-husband team, co-authors of The New Intimacy, offers for each day a page-long meditation, a distilled one-sentence affirmation, and a complementary (and complimentary) quotation. Just one of the meditations is ample kindling for a great heart-to-heart bonfire with your sweetheart; two or three absorbed would qualify as a good counseling session; 15 or 20 could be spun into a self-help book; 365 is an abundance." -- MW NAPRA Review

"Don't be deceived by the apparent simplicity of this book. It provides practical wisdom about the things that matter to us all. Notice the complexity of emotion offered in the daily meditations. We all need direct, uncomplicated guidance to love well in our complicated lives."
-- Thomas Moore, author, Care of the Soul and Original Self

Judith & Jim have followed their very valuable relationship guide, The New Intimacy, with this accessible yet deep book. These authors are so very good at everything they do, including this latest offering. It addresses countless subjects that would normally be omitted from a guide to loving well, and yet are critically important to creating three-dimensional love. Partners in love and business for a solid dozen years, Judith & Jim tirelessly cheerlead their readers toward deeper and greater love. This delightful book is an admirable combination of down-to-earth practicalities and soaring wisdom. Steven Svoboda -- Everyman: A Men's Journal, March/April 2000

Product Description

In this delightful work bestselling authors Judith Sherven and James Sniechowski, a husband-and-wife team and coauthors of The New Intimacy, help readers build a stronger relationship with their partners through heartfelt essays and life-changing affirmations.

The book contains a brief and easily accessible affirmation for each day of the year that readers can incorporate into their lives in whatever way their interest and time allows: They can meditate about the idea, practice it that day, or simply open the lines of communication by discussing it with their partner. Each affirmation will enable readers to give and receive love, forget old wounds and to celebrate their partner's differences.

The affirmations are relevant for anyone who's dating or married, and focus on all aspects of a relationship including romance, trust, conflicts, commitment, self-respect and sexuality. Specific affirmations cover issues like: acceptance, anniversaries, beauty, boredom, brain sex, emotional cheating, cuddling, dating, divorce, dreams, fair fighting, family, hugs and in-laws. The book also includes a handy subject index so that readers can quickly refer to topics that interest them.

A perfect gift idea for weddings, showers, Valentine's Day, or for readers to give to that special someone in their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five star reccomend!, March 4, 2000

By	Corinne Edwards (Chicago, Il. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are many ponderous and worthwhile books out there which lead us toward the correct routing in our search to find and nurture love. Some of these are overwhelming despite our good intentions!

Opening To Love 365 days A Year is a simple guide in this complicated wilderness. . . tiny, thoughtful and gentle ways to express, feel and to be grateful in our dailiness of existance. Here are accessible reminders everyone can do - from remembering to give a compliment to the comfort of a big pot of vegetable soup simmering on the stove. These all say love.

A book to light up your life - day by day.

Heartfully recommended!
