"When we are daughters, the men in our lives can only be our fathers. When we avoid men, they cannot be with us at all. When we come to them in the fullness of our beings as women, including both our strength and our sensitivity, we are free to partner one another as full equals. It is my vision that in this way men and women, as partners, will be able to consciously co-create a new civilization, one in which the traditionally feminine contributions are equal in importance to the traditionally masculine and our full human birthright is restored."

"The Stone partnership has birthed a remarkable and fascinating book with cutting edge ideas, especially the concept of 'energetic connection." A truly relational theory on relationships. A beautiful thing about PARTNERING is that it is the result of the authors' creative and productive partnership, an example of the co-creativity they recommend. Couples will find themselves in competent enlightened hands as they work though these ideas and exercises. "

"In this wonderful book, Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone show the path and the possibility of psychological and spiritual fulfillment available to couples who are willing to risk meeting their most vulnerable feelings. They explain how it is our disowned vulnerability and all the various ways we defend against this that cause us to unconsciously betray love and so many other of life's joys. The Stones have the insight and tools to help couples heal emotional suffering and live their relationship as a true path to personal freedom and fulfillment."

— Richard Moss, bestselling author and speaker

"Partnering is essential reading for all those who have caught themselves suspecting ruefully that their partner doesn't really understand them, or see them for who they actually are, despite knowing that they don't either. Here we have the fruit of a couple who have deeply worked on themselves and in partnership, revealing a wonderfully liberating new way of being alone and together."
