Book Description
Award-winning couples therapist Peter Fraenkel argues that most relationship problems can be traced to partners being out of sync on the powerful but mostly hidden dimension of time. Differences in daily rhythms, personal pace, punctuality, time perspective, and priorities about how time is allocated can all lead to couple conflict. Yet the fascinating fact is that these polarizing time differences play a potent role in attracting lovers in the first place. In this trailblazing new book, he draws on his original research to show how a clearer understanding of these forces can improve the health of your relationship and even rescue a failing one.

Book Description
There are times in our lives when the spiritual journey seems clear and openings and insights light the way. More usually the path to God can feel hidden – we move in the darkness and can become very lost. We lose a sense of where we are and how we might continue on our way. The Four Steps of Love offers us signposts for our spiritual journey in the shape of St Bernard’s four stages of love: ‘We love ourselves for ourselves; we love God for what he gives us; we love God for himself; we love ourselves for God’s sake.’ Fiona Gardner takes these stages and links them with four questions that Jesus asks in the gospels: ‘What are you looking for? ‘But who do you say I am?’ ‘Do you know what I have done to you?’ ‘For whom are you looking?’ Through this framework, she explores the concept of metanoia, or change of heart – a continuous process that is never quite perfected in this life. Drawing on the experience of others and complete with practical exercises for prayer and meditation, The Four Steps of Love is a perfect guide for all those seeking inspiration and guidance on their spiritual journey.

Keep your partner guessing. At the end of the day, this soulless approach to dating doesn't lead to love but to insecurity and desperation. In Deeper Dating, Ken Page presents a new path to love. Out of his decades of work as a psychotherapist and his own personal struggle to find love, Page teaches that the greatest magnet for real love lies in our "Core Gifts"—the places of our deepest sensitivity, longing, and passion. Deeper Dating guides us to discover our own Core Gifts and empowers us to express them with courage, generosity, and discrimination in our dating life. When we do this, something miraculous happens: we begin to attract people who love us for who we are, we become more self-assured and emotionally available, and we lose our taste for relationships that chip away at our self-esteem. Without losing a pound, changing our hairstyle, or buying a single new accessory, we find healthy love moving closer . . . Deeper Dating integrates the best of human intimacy theory with timeless spiritual truths and translates them into a practical, step-by-step process.
