And they lived happily ever after... It's a longing inside each of us. Be assured that it is your destiny to live happily ever after. It will take love and skill. We know. We believed in our destiny. As couple therapists who had longed for a great love and finally found each other, we, James Elliott and Kathryn Elliott, shared what we came to call a high-voltage soulmate relationship. It was marked by intense closeness and depth communication; personal growth and heart-stirring romance. We learned from our experiences how to make relationships work; then added solid theory, along with practical skills. Jim and I both believed that our fulfillment was more than a personal one. We believe we are to be a sign to you and a guideThis guide is for you who have found your love and want to keep that love alive. It's also for you who have lost hope. In the face of that discouragement, we have one thing to say to you: Your history is NOT your destiny. How can we say that? Because we know that relationships are our grand opportunity for learning. And for growth. The Kickass Guide came into being during the last three years of our relationship, after Jim had suffered a debilitating stroke. We distilled what we had learned into a daily blog of soulmate skills. Now, after Jim's death, we bring you the wisdom we learned in this daily guide packed with powerful relationship skills. Whether you're searching for your soulmate or have found your love, The Kickass Guide to Happily Ever After will be your day-by-day companion in forging your own happily ever after.
