How to Create Deep Intimacy In Imperfect Relationships

An interview with Arielle Ford, author of Wabi Sabi Love

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/finding-love/201301/how-create-deep-intimacy-in-imperfect-relationships-0

What a great interview/article.  This book may not get into some of the more complex issues that can come up in relationships but it is a great start at training your mind to be less reactive and more mindful of the good things that your partner brings into your life.

Arielle suggests that instead of looking for perfection we can look for a new story to tell ourselves.  She quotes Sam [Keen]:

"We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."
