The Future of Love 
At a time when over half of all marriages are ending in divorce, Daphne Rose Kingma, a well-known therapist and relationship expert, has recognized that our familiar ways of thinking about relationships are no longer working. "I have written this book because it is clear that many of our previous assumptions about relationships need to be dismantled," writes Kingma. "As we go through this process, we will discover a number of new ideas: that our relationships can have different forms than we ever imagined; that they will serve different purposes; that they will require different offerings from us. They will also bring us new gifts."
We are in the midst of a sea change, in which not only are many traditional relationships failing, but unexpected new arrangements are beginning to appear; gay marriages are surfacing, step-families abound, and many people are consciously choosing to live alone. As Kingma explains, these transformations should not be feared; instead, they represent a real opportunity. In the past, conventional relationships were often destroyed by an overemphasis on the nuts and bolts of psychology, on working to achieve the unattainable "perfect relationship" while ignoring our most vital selves--our souls. The glorious message of The Future of Love is that the disturbing changes we are all experiencing are actually part of the soul's plan, as it breaks down outdated conventions to bring us a new, fuller understanding of love.
From the Hardcover edition.
I was so impressed with this book I sat for 2 weeks and non stop created a video series/power point presentations to use as teaching tools to bring this content to life for my students. I include these study guide videos and a strong recommendation for this book in all my online course work for men, women and couples seeking lasting love. MUST read for everyone committed to real love over social obligation and clinging to constructs.
The Most important book on love and relationships you could EVER read! My Favorite book of all time! I liked it so much I put my money where my mouth is, and bought a dozen copies of it and gave it away to my friends!

Having read and loved 'Coming Apart' by Daphne Rose Kingma, I was very interested in reading this book. The first few chapters turned me off a little bit, with their talk of God and abstract, more-religious-than-spiritual ramblings. However, once I made it past those, I found this book a very thought-provoking and spiritually rich read. She writes candidly about many ideas that are certain to be controversial among the traditionalists of society - but having lived and loved on the "new frontier
According to author Daphne Rose Kingma in her book, The Future of Love, there are five main myths about intimate relationships.The first is that traditional, legal heterosexual marriage is the ultimate relationship form that all successful relationships must eventually become. Those who believe in this group people into four categories: * Those who are married * Those who are waiting to be married * Those who have been widowed or divorced and are waiting to be married again * Those who were
Interesting concepts. I read this after a relationship ended. It stresses that the future of relationships isn't always just man and wife. Rather, love will come in different forms. For instance, a woman may not be married to anyone, but may have close relationships with various men that fulfill various needs. The author doesn't speak of love always in terms of romance - it's worth a read if you're curious about relationships and humans and our emotions in general.
This is a wonderful book for those of us struggling with alternative or unusual kinds of love relationships. She lovingly explains the shift happening in traditional "marriage" based relationships and how expanding our definitions of love can introduce us to more meaningful relationships that defy traditional definitions. I loved this and love her writing. It's both poetic and frank.

"The future of relationships is moving us toward the vaulting awareness of who we really are as human beings, something we have managed to avoid for a very long time by being so thoroughly committed to convention...This is the future of love--vast love, love beyond boundaries, love without preconceptions and judgments, love without outdated myths--love which can actually be experienced."At a time when over half of all marriages are ending in divorce, Daphne Rose Kingma, a well-known therapist and relationship expert, has recognized that our familiar ways of thinking about relationships are no longer working.
