Henry Grayson, a psychologist, relationship counselor, psychoanalyst, and former minister who has been working with couples and individuals to improve their relationships for more than thirty years, has found that most people are actually more unhappy after marriage counseling or couples therapy. In Mindful Loving he sets aside the traditional methods of therapy to show you how to look at your relationships from a completely different perspective. By getting to the root of our relationship problems, Grayson creates a whole new framework in which to view intimacy— one where psychology, spirituality, and science meet. He shows you how to:

Break the vicious cycles of interaction that trap you in patterns of resentment and isolation

Identify the six forms of counterfeit "love" and nine barriers to love

Practice ten characteristics of Empowering Love

Create a spiritual marriage rather than an ego-based one

Filled with techniques, exercises, meditations, and inspiring case studies, here is an indispensable guide to creating healthy and fulfilling relationships that is destined to become a classic in the field.
