Lovers for Life: Creating Lasting Passion, Trust, and True Partnership

If you are having a difficult time establishing a romantic relationship with someone because of past wounds and failures of one type or another, this book can surely help. It can help you heal those wounds, improve your self-image, and teach you the principles of self-love. There is a lot of uninhibited discussion in this book on sexuality and ridding oneself of guilt feelings assocated with pleasure and self-love. There is a lot of insight crammed into this book for the cover-price. What most impressed me was the honest depth of the discussion. This is not a book of fluff or jargon. It takes a hard look at the difficulties involved in maintaining a relationship. Should be read and reread.

In a crowded, often cheesy category, this guide stands out for its clear-headed frankness and for making a monogamous relationship sound so darn sexy and worthwhile.The authors approach sex as a part of life that is essential to human well-being, and attempt to guide readers to exploration and integration of sexual desires. It is their sincere wish to return the spirituality to bump & grind; for readers to see their sexuality as something so utterly natural, that to imagine a sex life without love and commitment is to imagine a meal of divine pasta without sauce. There are chapters on healing and getting over blocks. These are written with great compassion, but without perpetuating a victim mentality. The techniques they suggest one take to awakening desire without shame are written logically and sympathetically. They make the recipe for that "divine pasta" seem effortlessly easy and fun. This is a self-help book that does not belabor the reader with thoughts of, "That's all well and good, but it seems like too much work." This is one self-help book that has no need to urge you to put it down and get started. Believe me, you'll be eager to get busy!
