Produktbeschreibung

Are you ready for fulfilling lasting relationships? Best-selling author and college media instructor Karl W. Beckstrand has lived abroad, interned for Congress in D.C., and earned a B.A. in journalism and an M.A. in conflict resolution. He was a technical recruiter in Silicon Valley and a Spanish interpreter for Angel Flight (aviator nonprofit). But his relationships were far from satisfying. Today, he enjoys profound lasting ties. Regardless of marital status or sexual orientation, every person has legitimate needs for love and true union, including connection with those of one's own sex. Still, long-term relating bliss can be elusive for just about anyone; but there are more kinds of connection than we knowand happier bonds than the sparse ones society often signals. "Thoughtful...candor.... Beckstrand...delivers multiple supportive arguments.... Readers will be gratified by its conclusions and novel assertions...particularly relating to meaningful relationships...which lends it distinction and is refreshing to read." The BookLife Prize (Publisher's Weekly) Real love isn't wanting someone, it's wanting the best for someone. Emotional needs can manifest as sexual desire, like feeling hungry when you're dehydrated. By neglecting true emotional connection, the feeling of neediness persists, regardless of how much sex one has. Meeting emotional needs healthfully can illuminate true needs, open previously unimagined relational possibilities, and may also reduce compulsive behavior. Know a gay couple that's floundering? Beckstrand shares counterintuitive keys for healing relationships and creating happy lasting same-sex bonds. What he's learned also applies to heterosexuals, married people, singles, men, women, etc. Chapters include: • Beyond Either/or Thinking • Is It All about Sex? • What's Good About Attraction to Your Own Sex? • Is Fluidity Real? • Are Competing Desires Healthful? • How to Not Miss Out • Close Beyond Imagination Don't miss these concise concepts plus information on relating with a gay loved one, tips for supporting families of LGBTQIA peopleand online bonus material.
