Amazon.com Review
The authors call it "practical magic"--the enchantment that occurs when couples act upon their highest intentions and deepest love. Suddenly creativity and humor spill upon every page of life; intimacy is a given instead of a task; accountability and responsibility are freedoms rather than burdens. But getting to this magical state of being is the problem. This book has all the right spells. Practical issues such as sex, aging, money, fights, and infidelity are all examined through the lens of a conscious heart. Without once faltering into surface solutions or cosmetic improvements, these world-renowned couples' therapists explore the seven choices that transform relationships from the inside out.SimilarProduct

relationship is a spritiual path 
by .. Teri Jo Smith (Nahant, MA United States)
The authors walk their talk in their loving marriage.
This book opened my eyes to some missing pieces
of the puzzle and I have experienced profound shifts
in the relationship I have with my husband. The
information in the Hendricks' book has made me more
aware of feelings and more connected to creative
ways of transforming old patterns. My husband and
I realized that we had UNconscious commitments to
suffering that undermined our desire to be close!
We seem to have found a way to have a lot more fun!
Excellent book! by .. William J VanVechten (Escondido, CA USA)
I just finished this book, and have been enlightened and tremendously inspired. Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks reveal a large number of their own personal experiences, and this makes the book really believable and valuable. They are relationship experts, but they share about their difficult times as well as the good ones. Their book, Conscious Loving, is a good book to read first, but this book does stand on its own well! Read this book if you want to develop the deepest possible relationship with your partner!

Next step past Conscious Loving by .. Andy C McNiece ()
I carry around a dog-eared copy of the Hendricks earlier book, Conscious Loving. I have used it, enjoyed it, and learned from it. But the one area it really didn't address for me is the area of commitment. The Conscious Heart brought the subject of commitment to the forefront for me. I have already loaned out the book so I can't quote exactly. The Hendricks suggest that the failure to make the deeper commitment results in a back door where the greater energy of the relationship escapes. This is the energy that would allow the relationship to grow to its higher level. This discussion of the issue brought it to me with more clarity than ever before.
Wonderful - life enhancing by .. Lee Robbins (San Francisco)
All of Gay Hendricks books (and his workshops) have been wonderful contributions to my happiness, compassion and health. Also see 365 Days of Conscious Living which is a daybook with "just right" daily stories and suggestions and then a brief practice suggestion. Used over the year it is both enjoyable and helpful Shared with a partner it is a great relationship and intimacy enhancer.
