If The Buddha Dated
by Charlotte Kasl
This is a wonderful, heart-opening book. Buddhism teaches to constantly look inside, "recognizing our long held beliefs that have been shaping much of our behavior and move beyond them with a new awareness." Compassion and acceptance begins to replace fear, negative judgement and worry. By staying in the moment we are able to see more clearly and be honest about our needs in a relationship, freeing us to create unions that deepen our spiritual growth. Reviewed by Heather Thayer.

Meant To Be
by Joyce and Barry Vissell
We are blessed by those who have opened their hearts by telling us about meeting their life partners. Many instinctively, intuitively recognized each other. There is a deep graciousness about falling in love for a lifetime. Authors Joyce and Barry Vissell open up the pages of their own journals of love and marriage. Some of these vignettes were shared at a Relationship Retreat led by the Vissells. What a delight to have naturally loving role models revealed to us. Many couples in this book honored their inner guidance in meeting their destiny. Others offered the deep healing into wholeness that took place in meeting their life partner. What is most satisfying in this book is the depth of personal connection which is portrayed in each true love story. This book supports our instincts in recognizing and meeting a loved one. The quietness and depth in the connection of each individual in Meant to Be is heartening, inspiring and nurturing. Reviewed by Jacqueline Mandell.

Relationship Rescue
by Philip C. McGraw PhD.
Reconcile with our highest values and we have the basis for reconcilling with our loved ones says author McGraw. This thorough, in depth author has been recognized as a NY Times Best Seller as well as a contributor to Ophah Winfrey. His story is brave and simple. As a professional psychologist he realized that the advise he and other colleagues were offering to distressed couples wasn't working. He stepped out of the mold to discover what would actually help partners who had over the years or months lost touch with each other. This book is not for the extremes of abuse but for the ordinary, out of step relationship. After taking a fresh look at troubled relationships Dr McGraw put together a manual to rescue these partnership/marriages. He addressed the general and specific malaise which sweeps through many long term relationships. Although the word 'rescue' is used, this course requires brutal honesty and self examination. The first step in the 'rescue' is to begin with oneself rather than the relationship. Recognition of one's relationship myths and de-spirited responses that dampen communication is only the beginning of the journey of healing. This thorough book contains guidlines, excercises and worksheets for the process. Hidden deep inside the pages, after the initial work has begun, are formulas and relationship rescue remedies that are a great contribution to the field of troubled marriage/partnerships. For all who wish to heal with their loved ones. Reviewed by Jacqueline Mandell.
