November 2002 (posted 11/25/02) Title: Becoming Soul Mates: How to Create the Lifelong Relationship You Always Dreamed of Author: Elva Anson, MA, MFT Genre: self-help/relationships Publisher: Emidra Publishing ISBN: 0-9723569-3-2 Price: $14.95 Pages: 181 Rating: 4 Comment: Recommended Reviewed by: Jennie S.

Becoming Soul Mates is not your ordinary quick-tips-to-find-your-soul-mates book. It is based on tens of years of first-hand experiences in handling troubled relationships. This 181-page beautifully designed book will astonish you because for the first time ever, you’ll realize that a soul mate is probably closer than you think. Simply by taking responsibility of your perceptions about the relationship, resolving the complexities when communicating about feelings and creating emotional intimacy with your partner, you will see your own relationship with fresh, new eyes, and find that soul mate quality in your own partner.
As a long time Marriage and Family Therapist, Anson has helped dozens of couples transform deteriorating relationships into meaningful, loving and intimate soul-mate relationships. This book is her accumulation of wealth of hands-on knowledge and wisdom. Illustrated by real-life examples, every page of this book delivers its own essential messages, which are stylishly underscored in designer fonts.
Some of my favorite quotes from this book. “I learned that intimacy cannot be experienced unless each partner also has autonomy and freedom.” “If you are at peace with yourself, peace with others will follow.” “We have a mind and will. Our emotions do not make our decisions for us, but they are very important to our understanding of who we are.”
