A wonderful book about finding the beauty in imperfect relationships

 

Hello and Happy New Year to my readers: My friend, bestselling author and relationship expert Arielle Ford, is the author of Wabi Sabi Love and The Soumate Secret. Her beautiful book, Wabi Sabi Love, teaches a path to healing in our relationships based upon the ancient Japanese artform which, in Arielle's words, "Honors all things old, weathered, imperfect and impermanent by finding the beauty and perfection in the imperfections." Wabi Sabi Love has been helpful and inspiring for me in my own intimacy journey, and, with the release of her book in paperback, Arielle is offering a series of free videos about the Wabi Sabi apporach to love.  Here's a link to receive her videos for free: https://xa112.infusionsoft.com/go/wabisabigifts/w6045/  John Gottman, a psychologist out in Seattle has devoted the last 40  years of his life to studying comitted couples.  His research has shown something powerful: there's a "magic ratio" for couples who've been together for a long time, who still like each other and being  around each other. The "magic ratio" is that, for these successful couples, there is an average of five positive interchanges for every negative one. Arielle teaches how to work with the annoying, troubling and difficult qualities you find in your loved one, and learn to see the beauty in them, and in the love that exists around those trouble spots. I love Arielle's work, ( and I know that Arielle really tries to live her vision) so I wanted to share this with you. I hope you enjoy them, and I send you all my best! ( P.s. I'm not reimbursed in any way for sharing this link with you!) Here it is again: https://xa112.infusionsoft.com/go/wabisabigifts/w6045/  Warmly Ken
