"If you're at the end of your relationship rope, reach for Radical Acceptance." --Elle A refreshing new approach to romantic partnerships, grounded in the importance of unconditional love that shows how "prioritizing your partner creates] true happiness in your relationship" (John Gray, PhD, author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus). Loving the lovable parts of your partner is easy. He's funny, charming, smart, successful, and kind. He's perfect. Except for when he is not. Like when he is late. Or short-tempered. Or lazy. Or he's incorrectly loaded the dishwasher (again). Maybe he feels like the most frustrating person on the planet. Or maybe you're simply not feeling heard or seen. Or loved enough. It's these proverbial unlovable parts that make loving all of him so tough. But imagine if you let go of your itch to fix, judge, improve, or control your partner. Imagine if you replaced judgement with compassion and empathy. Tremendous empowerment and liberation come from loving someone--and being loved--for who we really are. This practice is called Radical Acceptance. Whether you're looking for Mr. Right or are already with him, this is your powerful five-step guide to attaining life's ultimate prize: unconditional love. You'll learn how to increase your emotional resilience, feel more confident, determine whether you're settling, quiet those doubt-filled voices in your head, get out of that endless cycle of dead-end dates, reduce conflict, and build a deeply fulfilling, affirming relationship--all through highly actionable advice. Best of all, you will discover how amazing it feels to have your heart expanded by an abundance of love and compassion for your partner and yourself. Featuring compelling stories for real-life couples and insights from the foremost thought leaders and researchers in brain science, sexuality, psychotherapy, and neurobiology, Radical Acceptance illustrates that embracing your partner for exactly who they are will lead to a more harmonious relationship--and provide an unexpected path to your own personal transformation.

While her own have been formidable, they convinced her at an early age that her life was in the hands of her Savior. She seems to have been guided by God. Andrea's knowledge of the Bible is awesome, but her ability to explain the meaning of the Bible's words to touch the hearts of everyday people is her talent. We are inspired by the wisdom she displays... and she tells us, "They are not my words; they are God's word."She walks the talk of "loving her neighbors" by raising funds for those less fortunate and by sharing her wisdom through this book of Bible-based devotionals.
