I am absolutely convinced that reading "Balance of Passion" and applying what you learn will produce the same wonderful results for your sacred union. Enjoy!

"There are so many things to love about Balance of Passion. One of my favorites is that Bryan was willing to be transparent and share some of his story about his own marriage, which showed what he has learned from personal experience. I am also extremely impressed with the fact that Bryan, a law school graduate, has been able to master many of the esoteric concepts of Imago and Emotion-Focused Therapies and present them in a simple yet comprehensive way in which any spouse could benefit. Balance of Passion is a must-read for all married couples!" -Ruby D., Author of Selected Poems and Writings
