Should be Required Reading for anyone in Any Relationship May 13, 1999
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Perhaps one of the most insightful, profound writers on relationships I've ever read. Particularly poignant were the 7 stages that every relationship experiences, be it 3 days or 30 years. I recommend it as a gift for young people as they enter into the realm of relationships as well as for those of us who have walked in that realm, that double edged sword of immense pain and immense love. Still I think her book is not quite complete and Lew Epstein's Trusting You are Loved is a perfect adjunct to Kingma's book. Again, they should be required reading for anyone in relationship.
Love will find the way! March 31, 1999
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've enjoyed it very much as I trully believe every word I read is the reality for the moment. Even thought I am divorced and am going through the same experiences for 6 years I still am not enjoying and still have a hard time to coop with what is going on around, still lots of mistakes that I am doing. So as I read Ms. Daphne Rose Kingma's book for the first time it helped me to understand much better what is going on as I am still waiting for 'gods' around me while it is not possible. So still as the generation behind I surelly think it will help lots to come back to reality. Thanks to you. Also if you ever want your book to be published in my country please let me know, as I believe they'll love it here...
Why failed marriages are the key to love! March 8, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
A wonderful book that I wish everyone could read. Instead of seeing divorces as failures, they are steps on the road to realizing -- no, to EXPANDING ourselves into pure, unconditional love. Kingma explains why marriages/relationships really fail and how, as spiritually strong and independent beings, we can experience a more encompassing type of love. Relationships are "a journey of self-creation" where "our wholeness is emerging". "The future of love is true love, a great, sweet love that isn't pain but joy, not small but vast, not personal but spiritual". In the past, "our marriages become watered-down versions of the values of society, instead of vibrant emotional unions that nourish the people within them."
An Enlightening and Refreshing View of Relationships February 16, 1999

Daphne Rose Kingma, thank you!!! This book truly reflects what so many of us are feeling yet either have not had the courage nor the poetic ability to say - our relationships no longer fit into the definitions made by societies long ago, and it's okay! Our souls are on paths of enlightenment and to truly reach our destiny, we must acknowledge what we are seeking and create our relationships based in reality. I will recommend this book to everyone I know. The message in this book has a profound message for anyone in a new relationship, an old relationship, or someone who desires not to have a relationship. This book will help you examine your views on the relationships in your life and how they affect your life's journey. I've underlined, starred and dog-earred my copy, you will too.
Wonderful! February 12, 1999

"The Future of Love" is in the transformational category of Thom Hartmann's "The Prophet's Way" -- it has that much impact and ability to change your life. Highly recommended!
