In this unique inquiry into the deepest incarnation of love, author Richard Matzkin has looked to his extraordinary, three decade long marriage to Alice as a living laboratory to research the elements that comprise a truly loving, magnificent partnership. He has discovered 39 Loving promises, statements of intention you pledge to yourself, not to your partner that are the behavioral components of a deep, abiding love. These Promises are a profound path to transform your relationship into a magnificent one. Richard Matzkin has a magnificent relationship with his wife Alice. He is a former men's group leader, director of a domestic violence program, program director of a psychiatric hospital and meditation teacher. He is also an accomplished sculptor, jazz drummer and author, with Alice, of the award winning book, THE ART OF AGING: Celebrating the Authentic Aging Self. "Immensely practical. I cannot imagine a book that holds more potential to improve relationships. Just reflect on one of these promises a day and the sky is the limit" -Stephen G. Post.
