The Book of Love

Rating:
Summary: Make Your Relationship the Best it Can Be
Review: Daphne Rose Kingma has written many wonderful books about love, and this one, titled simply, "LOVE," easily stands out from the rest as a book that can guide you to becoming more loving in your primary relationship. This is the perfect book for couples who feel stuck, and don't know what to do to "bring the magic back," or who would like to learn to navigate through hardships better, or simply learn to relate to one another. Every chapter is short, full of loving compassion, and incredibly thought-provoking.

The six sections in this book are a little like layers on an onion; they start with the basics of learning to love yourself, say loving words, and listen to your beloved -- and then they move into more intimate places of sharing fears, fighting a good fight, and trusting one another -- and then into the really deep layers of finding meaning and enhancing intimacy. Kingma's writing voice sounds to me a lot like a friendly spiritual guide -- someone who clearly has been through everything she writes about, and offers excellent advice.

This book is ideal for anyone who wishes to work on relating through love and connecting more fully to their loved one -- and it is the kind of book to share and discuss with your beloved as you work together to make your relationship the best it can possibly be.
