About This Book

The work offers practical counsel on creating a peaceful married life, arguing that conscious mental images and the Law of Attraction shape relationships. It emphasizes equality and mutual confidence as foundations of harmony, explains that opposites are drawn together to teach and balance one another, and views passion and daily habits as forces that round character. Contempt undermines learning between partners and causes unhappiness, while even troubled unions can yield growth and better-balanced children when partners exchange qualities and accept their shared role in each other's development.
