Learning to Love: From Conflict to Lasting Harmony

What holds a couple together? Why are we afraid of intimacy? How can we keep our hearts open to one another in the midst of hurt and resentment? In this provocative book, Don and Martha Rosenthal, acclaimed workshop leaders and founders of The Heartwork Center, help couples move through conflict and difficulty toward the love and trust essential to satisfying relationships. Based on nearly two decades of highly successful couples workshops, as well as the Rosenthals’ own 35 years as committed partners, this book is a rare combination of timeless wisdom and practical guidance. Written in clear, accessible language, it offers workable strategies for listening to your partner with an open heart; asking for change; giving and receiving; dealing with anger; and releasing one’s own feelings of guilt, fear, and defensiveness. Yet it does all this with a spiritual depth that is both rare and compelling. By embracing as material the full range of our feelings, the messiness of our imperfections, it speaks compassionately to the human condition we all share. Learning to Love is a spiritual guide to relationship that truly works. Its unique strength lies in showing partners how to use their inevitable conflicts as the means to a deeper intimacy. And its fruits, to those willing to cultivate them, are the tools and resources that can make the sharing of unconditional love a daily reality.

Relationship coaching from many sources suggest that we should strive to let go of blame, judgement and fear. But how? Don and Martha Rosenthal invite readers inside their own relationship to learn the specific techniques that have worked for them, and the thousands of couples whom they have counseled over the years. Their work resembles a sort of "relational yoga" for couples, which if diligently practiced to mastery, can produce a true depth of intimacy and freedom that most of us have always longed for. At the center of their teachings is a specific format for communicating they call "Open Hearted Listening" which, while similar to techniques described elsewhere, adds a vital new element that makes it possible to feel truly heard, "gotten" and understood at last. It is simple, but not easy. Many Don and Martha Graduates enthusiastically report that this single practice can save troubled relationships, greatly enrich thriving ones, and by itself makes the book, or seminar, worth the price. It is equally valuable for those who are not currently in a relationship. This book not only describes with great insight exactly what goes wrong in most intimate relationships, but gives real hope for meaningful change. Don and Martha lead frequent workshops that teach the art of relationship as "spiritual practice" where they demonstrate these techniques using current content from their own forty year partnership in a way that is revealing and truly inspiring. Further information about retreats at their home in rural Vermont and at other locations in the US and abroad can be found on their website: www.awakeningtogether.com .
