When I decided to write this book on relationship, my wife
Barbara was surprised and cautioned me by saying that she would not dare write
such a book because it was such a varied topic with so many nuances. That
scared me because she is certainly more qualified to write about relationship
than I am. I hesitated for a while.
Most of my writing had been on housing, business, woodworking,
even publishing, but nothing on relationship. It's an expansive topic and I
wasn't sure if my information would be of real value. I considered that all my
books are based on first hand experience and realized that even though I'm not
an expert, I have a life time of experience in relationship. Based on that I
felt able to contribute something helpful to some readers and I feel good about
this book.

The author and his wife are among my, and my
wife’s, closest friends. Whatever else this book is it is a love letter from
Bill to Barbara -- and it’s beautiful. It’s also I think a marvelous
acknowledgement of how we learn from our significant other how to love them.
Our job is to be ready, willing and able. Bill’s stress on the importance of
mindfulness, communication and feeling-management reflect the current teachings
of neuroscience and psychology today, and millennia of social wisdom. But the
reason this works affects me strongly, and will others I imagine, is precisely
because it is far less the result of his academic mastery of all this than an expression
of his own personal, inward journey. I feel him as my brother here, not as a
student feels a teacher.

Mr. Benitez’s book RELATIONSHIP helped me take
a long hard look at what I could do better in all my relationships and in
particular those with my husband.
What part do I play in the issues that arise in our marriage on a daily basis?
I found this book extremely helpful and insightful too.
