Mastering the Mysteries of Love
One of the best parts of falling in love is the joy of getting to know someone. New lovers talk on and on —even into the wee hours of the morning. There is excitement and delight as the wonder and complexity of each person unfolds. It is as if you are actors in a new and wonderful play.
Over time, the wonder of new love often turns into mystery. Sometimes this brings new delight to the relationship. As you face life together, you discover new strengths and competencies. You watch your smiling bride turn into a loving mother and a strong woman. You watch your fun-loving groom become a leader at home and at work. Other times the mystery is more confusion. “How could he possibly believe that?” you say, or “Why in the world would she react that way?” You may even wake up one morning and say, “Who is this person next to me?”
When you discover that each of you is more complex than you thought, what do you do? The purpose of Mastering the Mysteries of Love Relationship Enhancement® Program for Couples is to give you tools to solve the mystery. The tools are ten skills which enable you to talk with each other in ways that turn mystery back into wonder. The skills will help you talk and listen to each other in ways that deepen love-even when you disagree. They will teach you a method to get beyond surface problems to the important depths of your hearts where love lives and grows.
Love in real life is not a play where everything is solved between the opening and closing of the curtains. Yet “drawing the drapes” to block out the world of chores and children, work and worries to concentrate on your relationship can have a transforming effect on love. We hope that Mastering the Mysteries of Love will give you a stage where you can rediscover the wonder of each other and solve the mysteries of your own love story.
