Love that Works: A Guide to Enduring Intimacy

When we commit, we agree to not measure our relationship on a daily barometer: Ultimately our loving relationships are the most gentle and effective education we engage in to become the person we want to be. Rather than focusing on finding the right partner, commitment works best when we approach it as a method of personal growth. Michelangelo used to say that the figures he created were asleep within the stones, waiting to be discovered.

This is what love that works on us over time can do for us: We both reflect and elicit the values that we commit to creating with our partners. As the work of love changes you and helps you grow into the person you want to be, the relationship creates a commitment of its own. The work becomes its own incentive, as both parties involved recognize that their own well-being is linked to the health of both your partner and your relationship.

Love that Works: A Guide to Enduring Intimacy by Wendy Strgar

The cultural myth of the perfect partner or soul mate is a distraction that keeps us from the real work of love. This book is dedicated to finding the many ways that love will sculpt you and your life into a work of art—one that is worthy of you and the one you love. We all live in a laboratory of love—if we are awake. Every day, there are opportunities to learn to love the people who inhabit your world. Some days it comes out looking just like you planned.

Some days, the relationship is so far off that it is barely recognizable.

Most days, we all live somewhere in between, striving to see the best in others and to act from the best in ourselves. This has not been an easy path. Every relationship is really something that you agree to one day at a time. Anyone can learn to make his or her love sustainable.

The skill set to love over time exists as a seed in all of us. But without careful tending and cultivation, it will not thrive. Sustainable love is not driven by the sexy early feelings of falling in love. It thrives by building skills in communication, keeping your promises, controlling your thoughts instead of being controlled by them, and being a curious and willing lover. This combination of behaviors—what I call the Ecology of Love—is what I teach and write about every week in my sustainable love letters.

The Ecology of Love is the natural habitat where love can grow and nourish the relationship and the world. The understanding of it came to me slowly, but the more I study and teach it, the more that this natural ecosystem of love makes sense. I hope it can help you to understand your own relationship in a way that renews your commitment and allows you the freedom to fall in love again and again.

As a man I have to say that reading relationship book is not something I do a lot, but in looking at this book I have to say that the author does a great job at getting both men and women to explore their relationships and what makes them strong and what can break them down. The book was an engaging one and it was like you were sitting listening to the author in the room as she shared her knowledge. The book was easy to understand and that author has done a great job at sharing practical experiences and ideas that all will be able to understand and implement.

The book was a quick read and though I can see that you may want to read this again and again, the book itself lends itself to this too. All-in-all this was a great book that can only strengthen your relationship with your significant other! See all 6 reviews.
