Learn how to successfully negotiate conflicts and deepen our most intimate relationships in this practical and thoughtful guide by an experienced Buddhist teacher, psychotherapist, and couples counselor. A committed relationship, as most people see it today, is a partnership of equals who share values and goals, a team united by love and dedicated to each other’s growth on every level. This contemporary model for coupledom requires real intention and work, and, more often than not, the traditional archetypes of relationships experienced by our parents and grandparents fail us or seem irrelevant. Utilizing the wisdom of her years of personal and professional practice, Young-Eisendrath dismantles our idealized projections about love, while revealing how mindfulness and communication can help us identify and honor the differences with our partners and strengthen our bonds. These practical and time-tested guidelines are rooted in sound understanding of modern psychology and offer concrete ideas and the necessary tools to reinforce and reinvigorate our deepest relationships.

"Sheila speaks to both the heart and habits of the woman who is wife and mother. The lessons in this book are biblical, doable, and affordable!"--Margaret B. Buchanan From advertisements to mommy blogs to Pinterest, scenes of domestic bliss abound, painting a picture of perfection and expectation nearly impossible to live up to. Why can't you work a full-time job, stylishly clothe yourself and your children, plan a party for twelve with handmade decorations, keep your house sparkling clean without chemicals, and bake a gourmet meal in the same day? Everyone else is doing it! For many women, housework has become more than chores that need to be done; it is a symbol of identity. Sheila Wray Gregoire wants to stop that thinking in its tracks and help women back to a life of balance--for their sakes and for their families. She encourages women to shift their focus from housekeeping to relationships and shows them how to foster responsibility and respect in all family members. The second edition retains the helpful, concrete advice on everyday situations such as strategies for tackling chores and budgets and tips on effective communication, while incorporating the wisdom Sheila has gained through her interaction with thousands of readers of her blog and through her speaking ministry over the past ten years. Through the principles in To Love, Honor, and Vacuum, Gregoire promises readers they can grow and thrive in the midst of their hectic lives--even if their circumstances stay the same.

In her usual provocative style, SONDRA RAY asks her readers -- "What if you could know a Being who is not born of a woman and who could dematerialize and rematerialize his body? What if you could know a Being who is a major teacher of Jesus and who prepared him for his mission? What if you could know a Being who knows everything about your past, present and future? What if you could know a Being who can clear all of your karma? What if you could know a Being who is the sustainer of the universe, an ocean of knowledge? What if you could know a Being who is a never-failing spring of Bliss, the infinite essence of truth? What if you could know a Being who is the bestower of the highest Joy? What if you could know a Being who incarnated for the liberation of the world? What if you could know a Being who would fulfill all your desires? You can know Him. This book is about Him. He says to you, 'My Love is available. You can take it or not.' Why not take it?" Along with Steve Jobs, spiritual seekers worldwide have most likely read the famous "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Yogananda. BABAJI, the immortal "Yogi-Christ" of India, is mentioned in Chapters 33 & 34. Author SONDRA RAY brings flesh and blood to His legend in this account of her real-life meetings with BABAJI in the 1970's and 1980's, at the beginning of her mission of world service as the "Mother of Rebirthing." More than just an autobiographical sketch, SONDRA's miraculous meetings with this real Maha Avatar will help anyone who is on a spiritual journey of Self-awakening to move faster in their joyous ascension to enlightenment. SONDRA RAY is joined my her twin flame, MARKUS RAY, who contributes his insightful poetry to BABAJI as He manifests in the everyday encounters with His presence in such places as Starbuck's and Nordstrom's, Catalina Island, and in HIs sublime mountain ashram of Haidakhan in the foothills of the Himalayas of Northern India.

Bestselling author Gary Thomas transforms the way you look at romantic relationships. His unique perspective on dating will prepare you for a satisfying, spiritually enriching marriage. In the revised edition of his hit book The Sacred Search, Gary Thomas helps single people of all ages make wise marital choices by rethinking what basis those choices should be made on. You will be encouraged to think beyond finding your “soul mate” and instead adopt a more biblical search for a “sole mate”—someone who will walk with you on your spiritual journey. Thomas asks, What if we focused on why we should get married more than on who to marry? What if being “in love” isn’t a good enough reason to get married? And most of all, what if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy? The Sacred Search casts a vision for building a relationship around shared spiritual mission—and making marriage with eternity at its heart.
