Summary

A successful marriage requires skill and effort on three levels -- the individual level, the couple level, and the spiritual level. It is only when marriage partners work toward a more fulfilling couple relationship that they reach both individual and spiritual fulfillment. This book will help spouses identify their gifts, shadows, and compulsions, guiding them to a new sense of togetherness based on respect and communication. This strengthened relationship will bring a new sense of intimacy, deeper trust, lasting commitment, and Loving for a Lifetime.
