Attitudes of Gratitude in Love: Creating More Joy in Your Relationship

by M.J. Ryan, Daphne Rose Kingma (Foreword)

Gratitude is the key. "We can have happier and more joy-filled relationships if we focus on what's right about them rather than what's wrong," writes M. J. Ryan in Attitudes of Gratitude in Love , the follow-up to her bestselling inspirational book Attitudes of Gratitude . Discover amazing gratitude benefits. Gratitude is a simple, profound practice that can change your life. Research has confirmed its many emotional and physical benefits. Taking the time to notice and reflect upon good things opens our hearts, creates happiness, and restores us to a natural place where we notice what's right instead of wrong. In her characteristically down-to-earth style, Ryan helps readers use the practice of gratitude to get back in touch with why they fell in love in the first place and deepen the love between partners, no matter how long they've been together. Find happiness and joy with positive thinking. When you find ways to be grateful every day, you experience more joy in life. Author and personal success mentor M. J. Ryan writes, "Gratitude births only positive feelings―love, compassion, joy, and hope. As we focus on what we are thankful for, fear, anger, and bitterness simply melt away, seemingly without effort." Attitudes of Gratitude in Love will teach you how to reach this positive place. The book is divided into two Readers of M. J. Ryan’s best-selling inspirational book Attitudes of Gratitude or personal growth books like The Book of Joy , The Gratitude Diaries , and The Happiness Project will learn more about the life-changing benefits of gratitude in Attitudes of Gratitude in Love .

Kind of like a Hallmark card, but some of the sentiments are really nice.

Every book I have read by M. J. Ryan has been a treasure. Her outlook and ideas for personal growth and development are spot on. I found this so useful and am incorporating her attitude and suggestions into my life and relationship. No one is ever 100% when it comes to gratitude and I love that it is a lifelong practice and not and end goal.

[Leslie Totten]

Grateful for this little book :-) Short entries on the Gifts of Gratitude, having an Attitude of Gratitude, and how to Practice Gratitude. Such simple reminders to be thankful for the one precious life we've been given!

A nice reminder to be grateful in love, especially when read just a few pages at a time.

[Douglas Lord]

Cofounder of Conari Press and co-editor of the "Random Acts of Kindness" series, Ryan returns with another little feel-good book. Radiating enough cheer to perk up Archie Bunker, this successor to the best-selling Attitudes of Gratitude spins positive angles on being grateful for the hard work that characterizes long-term relationships (e.g., "The more you're thankful, the more you'll receive"). Each section is simple if generic and features an epigraph purer than the text. Aimed primarily at married couples, it basically screams "gift book"; if similar material (e.g., Amy Dean's Night Light) floats your boat, fine. Chicken Soup for the Soul? It's more like popcorn.
