Partnering
Psychologists and international teachers, Hal and Sidra Stone, were passionate advocates of relationship during their professional and personal partnership, which lasted more than forty-five years. They experienced the magic of relationship and the many challenges to maintaining this magic. They saw in their own lives – and in the lives of thousands of others - the rich rewards that come with an understanding of the universal patterns that underlie all relationships. In "Partnering", they show us how to turn our current relationships into true partnerships or "joint ventures" in which partners naturally move beyond both self-criticism and their judgements of others.
They used their own connection as the laboratory for exploring every aspect of relationship as they passed through its many phases. From falling in love through the challenges of marriage, step-parenting, grand-parenting, professional collaboration and aging, their partnership continued joyfully until Hal passed away in 2020 at the age of 92.
They believe that we have only begun to see the seemingly endless possibilities that open to us as our relationships evolve.
