Conscious Loving Ever After - by Gay Hendricks & Kathlyn Hendricks (Paperback)

About the Book

"Gay and Katie have written a guide for conscious loving in the second half of life, designed to help us tap into the unlimited possibilities for intimacy and vibrancy in relationships from our mid-40s through our elder years. Midlife is a time, [they] explain, when we face a choice: to fold in on ourselves, staying settled in old routines and fixed beliefs, or to expand outward toward new horizons. With candor and compassion ... they walk readers through the steps on that expansive path, exploring how the work we do to revitalize an existing relationship or form a new one is closely tied to the work of awakening our own creative essence"--
