Harville Hendrix

[gentle music] Today, Courtney and I have a conversation with relational legends, Harville Hendrix and Helen Hunt.

These two beautiful beings embody and have pioneered the very thing we talk about here, the sacred we.

They live it.

Until next time, take good care.

This was my conversation with Harville Hendrix and Helen La Kelly Hunt, the creators of Imago, Relationship Therapy, the co-authors of Getting the Love You Want, married partners of more than 45 years, and the founders of the global movement they now call Quantum Connections and are about to rename Global Dialogue Solutions.

I want to take a few minutes at the close of this episode to say what stayed with me and what i hope stays with you the first thing is that what harville and helen offered us today is not theory it is lived reality their whole framework grew out of their own marriage out of their fights their difficulty They're nearly divorcing twice and their long, patient discovery of what actually helps two people stay in loving contact.

That is very rare and it is why the work carries the weight it does.

It's not uncommon.

Um, and my, a, uh, there's a beautiful book called Keeping the Love You Find by Harville Hendrix.

It just basically lays out where you're gonna feel high chemistry based on your unconscious unfinished business, and that the degree of commitment and intimacy portends for the degree of healing available.

And yeah, I mean, it's a beautiful book in terms of understanding what seems so mysterious.
