The Environmental Performance of the 15 Must-Have Christmas Gifts

On September 27, I got married. It was one of the most precious days of my life. In honor of our marriage, I’m dedicating the month of October to love. And I’m giving you an assignment that can transform negative feelings about any situation into an experience of love and happiness.

As we write this, in the spring of ’08, it seems like we’ve been in the world’s longest-running political campaign—and there’s still half-a-year to go! Seeing all those political ads have inspired us to propose a new set of rules for politicians and their ads. For many years we’ve had the privilege and joy of helping people change their lives and their relationships by learning how to use four communication tools skillfully. We originally discovered the power of those tools thirty years ago, by experimenting in our own relationship with ways to keep the flow of intimacy going strong between us. The tools work, and we’ve been rewarded with more love, harmony and creativity than we ever imagined possible.

Love is one of the most powerful forces. I find that women who are most critical of their bodies are missing a degree of self love. Do you find yourself looking in the mirror and having negative thoughts about certain parts of your body? Do you find yourself saying things like “If my thighs were only slimmer” or “I wish my butt wasn’t so flat!” Moving your body and training certain areas can actually help you create a better body image from the inside and out as well as the outside and in!

Being Clear About Desires: Getting What We Want

Filmmaker Chris Brickler’s passionate, mesmerizing, humorous and touching “Song of Songs” is a paean to love in all its wonderful, messy, complex glory. What distinguishes it from so many other love stories is its empathy for those who fall in love and then find themselves “bewitched, bothered and bewildered” by the everyday challenges of being in love.

The relationship transformation concepts and tools we teach as a team have given us a wealth of joy, abundance and learning in our married life together — and as a team, we’ve shared those ideas with 30,000 individuals and 3,000 couples we’ve taught and counseled.
