Resumen del Editor

Feel disconnected from your spouse or partner? Struggle to keep your relationship fresh? Worried that everything will end in heartbreak?

It's easy to fall in love. The challenging part is keeping that spark alive while you and your partner deal with "the real world."

Your relationship can often seem less urgent than the day-to-day emergencies that you deal with - your job, finances, children, and that to-do list full of chores. They all demand your immediate attention. So how do you find the time to nurture your love and intimacy?

What often gets lost in the shuffle is the love you share with your partner. Maybe you've neglected some of the positive habits you adopted when you were dating to win over your love partner. Or perhaps all of your conversations seem to end in arguments? Or worse, you might occasionally wonder if your relationship is even worth salvaging.

The solution: Build mindful relationship habits: If you want to build a deeper connection with your spouse or partner, then one solution is to build "mindful relationship habits."

In a mindful relationship, you are intentional about all your choices and interactions with your partner. You become more proactive in responding to each other's needs and less reactive to the challenges that often arise. You evolve to a higher level of interaction with one another.

In Mindful Relationship Habits, Wall Street Journal best-selling authors S. J. Scott and Barrie Davenport show you how to have a more mindful relationship by applying 25 specific practices. These habits will help you be more present with one another, communicate better, avoid divisive arguments, and understand how to respond to one another's needs in a more loving, empathic, and conscious way.

With the relationship advice outlined in this audiobook, you will get insights and lessons learned from a variety of relationship and mindfulness experts - all backed by scientific research.

Each habit presented offers a clear explanation of why it's valuable to the health of your relationship and instructions on how to make the habit a natural part of your interactions with your partner.

Really good. New ideas we can use to improve!

I thought the content strong. New ideas, and old ones brought back into focus. Read it as audio book, then wrote out notes on two chapters a week with my girlfriend. And we met weekly and compared notes. Built to do lists and Q&A in a google sheet. Glad we prioritized it!

Great Info for my Marriage

This is a great book to walk through with my wife and has enhanced our marriage.

Excellent

I wasn't looking for a book to improve my relationship, but rather to keep it as great as it is now. I did find some areas that we could improve, but a lot of awareness on what we need to keep doing, or "do better". I really enjoyed this book and consider it a valuable resource. I will be listening to it again, and find a way for my husband to listen to it with me chapter by chapter and discuss it.

Simple and Helpful tips

Self help books are not for everyone. In the Book of Mindful Relationship Habits it guides you in a healthier you. Each chapter has a new Mindful tip to learn about and ways to implement those mindful tips in the relationship. There are a few questions in the book so you can evaluate your thinking and how you react to situations.

Well Organized

I like the way this book lays out an easy-to-follow roadmap to tackle many common problems that may arise in any relationship. I wanted to improve the quality of the relationship I share with my partner, but I didn’t have a clear idea of where to begin. Now, I’m more confident in addressing any disagreements or unhealthy behaviors that are exhibited in our interactions. Thank you.

Great ideas

So straight forward. This book is very helpful. Not complex. It simply gives you tools and ideas that you just needed to hear.

Great Book!

Great information to help strengthen my marriage. I heard a lot of what my wife has been saying in these pages.

Will be re-reading!

This book was a Godsend! it was easy to listen to, methodical practice habits WITH action steps. The action steps are what I loved most. I need practical examples and implementations to create groundwork. A must listen for anyone regardless of relationship status and one I'll be recommending to everyone and rereading myself until the habits become habits.
