Whole Mate: The Future of Relationships
A revolution in relationships is taking place across the western world. It is happening in different ways for all people in all classes of society, and it is breathing life into a new vision of relationship and self. The product of this revolution—a third, higher level of connection called the ‘whole mate relationship’—promises to have a far more powerful effect on the quality, joy, and potency of our lives than any other single shift in culture since the sexual revolution of the 1960s.
In Whole Mate: The Future of Relationships (the first of two volumes on the evolution of relationship), Marc Gafni and Barbara Marx Hubbard define and explore three primary levels of relationship (role mate, soul mate, whole mate) and describe for the first time how the evolution of relationship will change the world as we know it.
Each of us wants to live well and love fully. We want not just to survive or thrive, but to experience real purpose and meaning. We want a new vision of success, of what it means to be a real man and a true woman. We will find these things on the other side of the revolution.
