Ahead of their time!

I first met Margaret and Herb Dimock over 20 years ago in Portland, Oregon. To the world, they were the beloved parents of my friend, Zoe. To me, they represented the kind of parents I always wished I'd had. In their presence, I felt valued and respected for who I was rather than for any of my worldly accomplishments. More importantly, I felt loved and understood. After reading this sweet book about their trial and error process of creating their own loving life together, I can see that the gift of love they shared with me was a gift they've freely given all along to anyone lucky enough to cross their path. I'm grateful I was one of the lucky ones. And, I believe you will be too, when you read this book.In this fast-paced world of seemingly disposable relationships, Margaret and Herb's story of one couples' decades of committment to each other gently reminds us that there are no shortcuts in manifesting a fulfilling and lasting union. They show us that one of the key factors standing the test of time in creating a successful, intimate relationship is that of both partners putting their own spiritual growth first. Now in this "new age" when so many are finally embracing spiritual growth above all else, it would seem Margaret and Herb's approach to a spiritual partnership has been at least 50 years ahead of their time! Hats off to this sweet story of inspiration, hope and honest love!

Three Dimensional Marriage - A Richer View of Union

Margaret and Herb (the authors) are dear friends, but I was dubious that a book on marriage could be anything but boring. I opened the book and was sucked into the story from the very first page, as they dared to let me see them in all their innocence and with all their hunger for something noble and purposeful for themselves and humankind. As has been their way through all these years, they invited me to share in their journey, page by page, as human beings, as lovers, and as spiritual pilgrims. Their vision and practice of marriage have changed my view of a couple's love. They dared to believe that their union had a sacred purpose, which was only partially expressed through the delight of sexuality. Their shared efforts to understand this sacred purpose, to understand each other, and to better understand themselves, reveals a richer dimension to marriage than many of us dare imagine: to be significant, to be co-creative, to be imperfect, to mature together. Too many of us have settled for one-dimensional marriages or relationships. Their story tells us their is more.
