Many of us enter a committed relationship thinking we have found the person of our dreams. And for the first 18 months or so this can seem like the case. But when the gloss wears off and the relation ship becomes more grounded in reality, dissatisfaction can too easily set in—— unless we take action.
Sarah Napthali, author of the internationally acclaimed Buddhism for Mothers series, has released her latest book Buddhism for Couples. It applies Buddhist principles to relationships tp help us better understand our behaviours and be able to counteract the apathy and negativity that afflicts many long-term matches. But it’s a relationship book with a difference: Napthali, a long-term practitioner of Buddhist teachings, reveals that she is not an expert and doesn’t have all the answers.”I really cringe at self-help books where you are spoken down to by an all-knowing expert,” she says,”In my books, Italk as an imperfect person because I think you learn so much from other people’s mistakes.”
Here, Napthali reveals how Buhhdist ideas can transform our relationship for the better.

你对你的婚姻关系是否满意呢？Angela Barret 发现了一个新的有可能正是针对夫妻所需的佛教指南.
我们中的很多人进入一段伴侣关系时都会想着我们已经找到了梦中情人，并且在起初的18个月中看起来的确像是那么一回事。但当这梦中情人的光环逐渐褪去，婚姻关系逐渐接近现实时，不满意的情绪很容易就会降临——除非我们采取行动。
Sarah Napthali，写给妈妈的佛法书系列的享有国际荣誉的作者，已经发布了她最新的一本书 ——写给伴侣的佛法书。这本书把佛教的原则宗旨运用于婚姻关系来帮助我们更好地理解我们的行为并且能够抵消长期困扰在配偶之间的消极冷漠的情绪。这是一本独特的婚姻关系书：Napthali，一个长期使用佛教方法的实践者，揭示出她并不是一个专家而且没有所有的对婚姻问题的解答。“我一直在依靠于一些可以跟那些无所不知的专家谈话的自助书籍，”她说，“在我的书中，我是作为一个不完美的人来讲述的，因为我认为你们已经从别人的错误中学到了很多。”
在这里，Napthali 将展示出佛教思想如何将我们的婚姻关系转变的更为和谐美好
