Making Love Last ─ How to Sustain Intimacy and Nurture Genuine Connection

Intimacy is one of the great powers and joys of life, yet all too often it gets clouded by miscommunication, a loss of affection, and a lack of mutual support. Here therapist David Richo shows us how to use mindfulness to better understand ourselves and our partners so that we can:

‧ Increase our capacity to give and receive love by recognizing how our past relationships affect our current life


‧ Improve physical and emotional intimacy by embracing the five hallmarks of loving relationships


‧ Resolve conflicts by constructively working with anger, grief, and blame


‧ Move from needy, ego-centered love to unconditional love by addressing fears of engulfment or abandonment


‧ Discover how relationships can be a path to spiritual awakening by practicing mindfulness and loving-kindness
