Marriage from the Heart: Eight Commitments of a Spiritually Fulfilling Life Together

Lois Kellerman, who is a spiritual leader in the Ethical Culture movement, shares stories from her counseling practice and her own experiences in Marriage from the Heart: Eight Commitments of a Spiritually Fulfilling Life Together, written with Nelly Bly. The book centers on eight commitments, or long-term values, that characterize strong and healthy marriages, including placing the marriage at the center of one's life, having reverence for one's partner and oneself and celebrating spiritual values together. The book is well-written, down to the carefully chosen epigraphs that begin many of its sections, and filled with wisdom from many diverse religious traditions. (Apr. 29)
