The Power of Real Love

I recently attended a five-day Real Love seminar in Phoenix, Arizona. What a treat. For five days I enjoyed the privilege of

• teaching seminars to hundreds of people on the subjects of Real Love, Real Love in marriage, Real Love in dating, Real Love in parenting, and Real Love in counseling,
• participating in Real Love groups,
• counseling dozens of individuals and couples.

In Phoenix I was reminded that everywhere I go I see consistent confirmation of the power of Real Love. I’m convinced there is no power in the universe like it. During and between the seminar sessions people shared comments like these:

"My husband and I had been married for twenty-eight years, but we were filing for divorce. We didn’t see any reason to continue. Then we read the Real Love book together, and since that day it’s been like our relationship started over. No more divorce. We’re seeing and loving each other in ways we’ve never done. It’s so simple."

"I’d been dating in all the wrong places, always attracting the wrong kind of men. It was miserable. Now I see what I’ve been doing. I have a lot to learn before I date again."

"I was completely at my wits’ end with my son. He was failing in school, using drugs, angry, and everything I did was just making things worse. Now I see why. I went home between two of the seminars and apologized to him for being such a foolish mother. I told my son I would try to learn to be a better parent. Then I invited him to come to the last seminar, and he said he wanted to come. Imagine that, a fifteen-year-old boy coming to a seminar on Real Love. And he loved it."

"Wow. I’m exhausted. This has changed the way I see everything in the world. Everything."

"This is what I’ve been looking for."

"I sat in the audience for five days, absolutely glued to every word. At the end I didn’t want to leave. I’ve been looking for this all my life."

"I told my wife that our marriage was over, but after this weekend I think we just might have some hope."

"My wife and I had been fighting with each other for as many years as I could remember. Just from the seminars of this weekend we can see what we’ve been doing to make things impossible for each other, and now I think we can do this differently."

The principles of Real Love are that powerful. They are changing lives all over the world. I encourage you to do whatever it takes to let that power work in your life and in your family. No effort you make toward that end could be too great.
