There are lots of relationship books on the market that coach couples to love each other unconditionally. In order to achieve this state, each person is often told to love their mate for who he or she is and not for what he or she could be. This sounds like smart advice but practice of this seemingly easy action is extremely difficult.
Soul Mate or Cell Mate goes further than most relationship books. This book explains that every relationship is composed of three entities: the two individuals and the actual relationship. In order for balance to occur, each of these entities needs to be healthy and whole. Thus, in a good relationship, both individuals commit to their own wellness, their partner’s wholeness, and the health of the relationship.
Another interesting notion introduced in this book is that individuals show love in different ways. This concept may seem obvious but few of us actually recognize that someone might be saying they love us by making a sandwich, taking out the trash, or letting us have alone time.
