About the Book

Remember those days when your partner was trying to win you over? They were probably pretty close to standing on their hands, playing the tambourines with their feet, and whistling Dixie. You may be thinking,"Yeah, right. So, why are those tambourines rusting out in the garage?"

Doesn't Absolute Bliss sound like a little corner of Heaven on Earth? It conjures up thoughts of love, freedom, harmony, and security, just to brainstorm a few choice words. Now, what would you think if I told you that Absolute Bliss is a book about your relationship or marriage? Would you have problems connecting these concepts? Well, if you found your way to this book, you're probably looking for help in order to experience a little bliss again.

If you long to feel happy in your relationship, this book is a good place to start. It is based on a simple life philosophy, and it gives you a step by step description of the process you will go through. It will not only benefi t the union with your partner, but also yourself! Embarking upon this path is one of the most fascinating journeys you'll ever take. The process starts with "you", and it moves towards relating successfully with your partner. It gives solutions to coping with problems, and arguments. It generates the true defi nition of the word "love" back into your commitment. It is easy to learn, easy to practice, and it's logical.

Times change, and so do relationships. However, there are still many aspects that remain the same. Couples argue about the same types of issues, and divorce rates are still on the incline. That means that we need to keep considering new methods. They don't have to be based on new theory. Sometimes we just need to gain new perspectives, and consider a different viewpoint. The goal is always to find that which works. It's worth the effort.

WELCOME TO YOUR JOURNEY TOWARDS RELATIONSHIP HAPPINESS!

Table of Contents or Excerpts

Do you remember when you were single? Those were the days, weren't they? You were doing ok. Remember when you were dating? You know, playing the field. Take a minute and go down memory lane. Remember those courting days? Weren't the mating rituals great? Cavaliers were doing wonders to win your attention. I'm not saying that it all happened at once, or that there weren't dry periods in between. But you have probably had your share of interested potentials. Men did the wooing, because they didn't want you to forget them. It served the purpose of winning the woman they viewed as a potential steady partner.

You pretty much had it all and then you picked one person who was able to charm you. Taking those steps toward each other got the chemistry going and you fell in love. Remember that person back then? They were pretty close to standing upside down on their hands, playing the tambourines with their feet and whistling Dixie. Wasn't he just adorable trying to win you over? You wanted the love, safety and family life. You obviously valued a monogamous relationship and that is why you chose to commit. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Yeah ok, but why did he stop whistling Dixie, and why are his tambourines rusting out in the garage?" Something must be bothering you, or else you wouldn't have chosen this book.

I'm not going to give you a "quick fix", because you've most likely already read that somewhere. So hang on. I'm going to explain a simple philosophy that has its origins from old theories. It's not a quick fix, for the solitary reason that it generates permanent change through simplicity. Quick solutions are temporary. The real mystery is how to integrate it into your relationship and make it work. It is a common human philosophy. It's caring and it "takes care" of both genders and allows them to interact in a respectful manner and with regard to all original communicative resources. The positive aspect is that it may save you energy and heartache.

I'm a Registered Nurse. That means that I'm concerned with that which works. I'm not fond of theories that aren't workable in caring for, and helping people. There are a wide variety of disciplines that view human behavior, and they have their respective research in finding out what is do-able, and applicable. It all depends on how you look at things. In my personal opinion, there should be more cooperation between the different disciplines. They all have something to offer, and they tend to supplement each other in different areas. You will soon understand that I've picked the best of many of them. You will not be reading about new theories. However, you will view a different perspective of existing ones. Many of the examples I've used are worst case scenarios. I've put it on the line to get you thinking, and because it is easier for people in general to understand these types of problems. The examples also deal with the themes of; change, personal ties, tenderness, and sexual attraction. You will find out why, soon enough. You obviously want a change in life, not to mention a happier relationship. So, that's where we'll start. The rest of the book just follows that one process.

Let's see if we can dig those tambourines out of the garage!
