To Love and Be Loved: The Difficult Yoga of Relationships

Using their own partnership as a laboratory, Stephen and Ondrea Levine -- coauthors of the instant spiritual classic Embracing the Beloved -- have uncovered the core truths of deep intimacy with both lover and the divine. To Love and Be Loved distills nearly two decades of fiercely compassionate exploration. The partners in a relationship are like two eyes, teach the Levines. Only by focusing together can they actually see God. The Levines reveal how unresolved grief sabotages both intimacy and spiritual growth, offering many exercises to help listeners "swim across the reservoir" of one another's pain. To Love and Be Loved maps a proven route to inner transformation through the highest practice of all: the practice of relationship.
