Today in America nearly half of all marriages will end in divorce. Yet the myth of the perfect marriage persists – marginalizing the millions of us who, by choice or by chance, do not fit into this idealized concept of human relatedness. Now Daphne Rose Kingma, couples therapist and bestselling author, brings her voice of reason to this crisis in relationships, with The Many Faces of Love.
Exposing our cultural myths and prejudices surrounding marriage, Kingma sets out to expand our capacity to love beyond society’s view of what is “normal.” Every intimate relationship, Kingma says, is a spiritual opportunity. She explores the possibilities for intimate connection outside of the marriage convention, illuminating how these new relationship models can serve as vessels for a deeper kind of love, and higher levels of consciousness. Kingma brings unexpectedly good news about the end of marriage – and the beginning of real love.
