Creating a Spiritual Relationship by Paul Ferrini is small but it carries a powerful message. I have recommended this great little book to coaching clients dealing with transition in various stages of relationship. He covers seven spiritual principles as a guide to growth and happiness in creating a healthy intimate relationship. Ferrini takes you through three parts: preparing for a relationship, the seven spiritual laws of relationship and changing the form of a relationship. He offers thought provoking questions and exercises to help you and your partner:
- Make a realistic commitment to one another.
- Developed a shared experience that nurtures your relationship.
- Give each other the space to grow and express as individuals.
- Communicate by listening without judgment and telling the truth in a non-blaming way.
- Understand how you mirror each other.
- Stop blaming your partner and take responsibility for your thoughts, feelings and actions.
- Practice forgiveness together on an ongoing basis.
These seven spiritual principles will help you weather the ups and downs of your relationship so that you and your partner can grow together and deepen the intimacy between you. Regardless of where you are in relationship you will be able to take something from this little gem. Order your own copy of Creating a Spiritual Relationship.
