This book presents interviews with 19 couples who have weathered the storms and the delights of conscious relationship. The author's journey into the country of marriage challenges her as a single woman to examine her own ideas and ideals about enduring love. Some of the qualities found in these lasting relationships are flexibility, respecting each other's needs, fighting fair, compromise, a sense of humor, mutual support, long conversations, and an ability to move the marriage on to another level. As a tour guide, Cathleen Rountree is creative, ompassionate, and alert to the spiritual undertow that gives long lasting marriages a special meaning and glow.
