This follow-up ebook to the best-selling book Conscious Loving takes on two of the most pressing problems that sap vitality and energy from our committed relationship: how to forge a closer relationship that still allows each partner full creative autonomy, and how to generate the passion and preserve the harmony essential to keeping long-term partnerships alive and blooming.

Lasting Love grew out of the laboratory of our 28-year marriage as well as our 10-year study of more than 2,000 long-term committed couples. We discovered that the most common couples conflicts could be traced to at least one of five root causes:

  • An imbalance between the creative energy each partner contributes to the relationship
  • A lack of emotional honesty
  • An unwillingness to accept responsibility for everyday issues
  • Deep-seated commitment issues
  • A deficiency of daily appreciations

 

Using these insights as a starting point, we devised a program based on five vital actions that simultaneously lead to a deeper flow of intimacy between partners and greater creative freedom for each individual.

  • Spend time expressing your own creativity rather than focusing on "fixing" your partner
  • Eliminate the barrier to speaking and hearing the truth about everything
  • Break the cycle of blame and criticism permanently
  • Make commitments you can really stand by, come home to and use to steer your relationship
  • Become a master of verbal and non-verbal appreciation

 

Filled with helpful real-life scenarios and straightforward advice, Lasting Love is an essential guide for anyone involved in a relationship who wants it not only to last but to flourish.
