"Fidelity: How to Create a Loving Relationship That Lasts" by Thich Nhat Hanh, a Book Review



 This is a wonderful, simple manual for developing and maintaining true love!  Explaining what true love is and what it is not, and clearly walks you through the changes and growth you need to develop within yourself so that you can be a person who can truly love.

 While this book is written from a Buddhist view point anyone can gain much wisdom and sound advice from this book regardless of your religious beliefs.

 Even though this book is short compared to many books on relationships, it is hard hitting and a well of deep wisdom and knowledge. This is not a light read if you are serious in your desire and commitment for self-growth for your own, as well as your partner's sake and benefit.

 I found this book to have many incredibly beautiful, wise passages and highly recommend this book if you are looking to seriously deepen your love in a true and real way, at the vary roots of love.

"The Play Solution; How To Put The Fun and Excitement Back Into Your Relationship" by Jeanette C. Lauer, Ph.D. , Robert H. Lauer, Ph.D., Book Review

This handy book is like a play manual for couples! The book teaches couples the importance of couple play, how to discover what sort of types of things you and your partner enjoy and how to make it happen.

The book is an excellent source of play ideas, everything from taking a trip together or cooking an ethnic dinner together to telling each other jokes or play footsies under the table while at a restaurant!

The aim is to bring play, humor and fun into your marriage to help develop a closer, more enjoyable and intimate relationship.

I also like the fact that the book discusses what isn't play, even if one partner calls it play, using it as a cloak for acting or speaking hurtfully. It also clearly draws the line between what is destructive teasing and what is truly playful teasing that both partners enjoy.

The book also has a section on creating a playful, cheerful atmosphere in your own home, recommending you think of your home as a "mood-shaper".
The book includes many fun, playful suggestions to help you get into the creative mind set so you can turn your own home into a place of cheerful play.

A fun and challenging book for any couple to explore! Packed full of ideas and inspiration you'll be sure to glean many new ideas and tools to improve and enhance your marriage! A book I'd recommend to anyone searching to put more fun into their own marriage.
