LOVING PROMISES: The Master Class for Creating Magnificent Relationship
"An intimate look into the workings of a truly magnificent partnership"
"An exploration of the human capacity for generous and mature love"
"A description of the actual behaviors one person can take to make that love a reality"
In this unique inquiry into the deepest incarnation of love, author Richard Matzkin has looked to his extraordinary, three decade long marriage to Alice as a living laboratory to research the elements that comprise a truly loving, magnificent partnership. He has discovered 39 Loving Promises statements of intention you pledge to yourself, not to your partner that are the behavioral components of a deep, abiding love. These Promises are a profound path to transform even a good relationship into a magnificent one.
In addition to the usual vows lovers make to each other vows of commitment, honesty, acceptance, unselfishness and fidelity the Promises include more obscure, but no less important ones such as: I Will Regard You As My Equal, I Will Participate In Your Life, I Will Challenge You When Necessary, I Will Not Manipulate You, I Will Protect Our Confidentiality, I Will Honor Your Family, I Will Respect Our Independence. Each one of these pledges are an essential aspect of a loving relationship.
