“Relationships that are the happiest in the long run are those in which both partners acknowledge and understand the fundamental differences between them, while honoring and supporting one another’s ever-evolving dreams and desires. In the Evolution of Loving, Carl Studna and Cynthia James have assembled a wealth of powerful insights, practices and photographs that support this evolution, providing couples with what they need to grow in harmony with, rather than in opposition to, the ideal relationship that both desire.”
