Love and Awakening: Discovering the Sacred Path of Intimate Relationship Paperback – January 10, 1997

I purchased this book because a friend of mine recommended it to me, and it became a "must read" for me (must read again and again and again). It was pleasantly eye-opening in my spiritual journey, as well as in the soul-mate matter. Welwood has a way of writting in a very gentle, loving and direct way, in the process of kindly awakening the reader.

This is a great self awareness book even if you are single.

I'm single and have not been married but this book can be applied to any relationship - familial, friends, etc. What I really appreciate is the author's new definition of marriage and basis for love after the "honeymoon" stage has fade. I cannot recommend this author enough, his articles on his blog are fantastic, stirring both the emotions and rational thinking. Both men and women can benefit as the author is completely balanced in his theories and writing.

This is wonderful because it gives some real deep insights on the highs and lows of relationships. I wish I had read it 20 years ago. It takes you out of the fantasy and brings you into the reality of dealing with another person on a day by day bases.

Great book and very helpful to both hear the theory behind the approaches and also see examples of the approaches. Very useful!

I wish I would have read this book years ago. It would have made it a lot easier to communicate with everyone, not just my significant other. The companion book is also excellent. This should be assigned reading in junior high.

Excellent integration of fully conscious relationships and understanding the dynamics of growth and development in sincere, genuine relationships

Just started reading, great book so far.
