Pursuing happiness sounds easy, but with so many demands on our time and
resources, it can be a challenge. So, how do we find happiness in a
relationship--when there are two people who want and deserve to be
happy?
Help is here, from a beloved (and blissfully married) lifestyle
philosopher whose books and lectures on personal contentment have helped
millions and whose popular Happiness Weekends are filled with dating
singles, newlyweds, and long-married couples. In brief, readable essays
rich in wisdom, practical strategies, and humor, Alexandra Stoddard
shows how two people can be happy together, not at each other's expense.
Alexandra's essays help couples make personal happiness a priority
("Encourage each other to do something every day that will boost
happiness"), connect in simple, powerful ways ("Give the gift of eye
contact"), share decisions ("A home has no boss"), set family priorities
("Don't let children control you"), expand your horizons ("Encourage
adventure"), be grateful for each other ("Treat each encounter as though
it could be your last"), and have fun ("Live a little!").
Perfect for couples to read alone or together, Happiness for Two brims
with useful ideas to help us "love and live happy."
