Buddhism for couples

Buddhism for couples

By Sarah Napthali

Book Description

When relationship challenges arise, most couples turn to conventional advice about communication and compromise. Sarah Napthali offers a deeper path forward by weaving ancient Buddhist wisdom into the fabric of modern romantic partnerships.

This practical guide moves beyond surface-level relationship tips to explore how Buddhist principles can transform the way couples connect, resolve conflict, and nurture lasting intimacy. Rather than simply managing problems, Napthali shows how mindfulness and self-compassion can address the root causes of relationship discord.

The book courageously examines the real issues that test partnerships: managing household responsibilities, navigating anger and resentment, maintaining physical intimacy, working through disagreements, and rebuilding trust after betrayal. For each challenge, Napthali presents Buddhist strategies that help couples respond with greater awareness and kindness rather than falling into reactive patterns.

Written for partners of all backgrounds, this approach emphasizes personal transformation as the foundation for relationship growth. By cultivating self-compassion and mindful awareness, couples learn to break free from destructive habits that keep them stuck in cycles of frustration and disconnection.

Napthali's blend of humor and insight makes Buddhist concepts accessible to anyone seeking to deepen their romantic bond. This fresh perspective invites couples to discover how ancient teachings can illuminate a path toward greater understanding, joy, and authentic connection in their shared journey together.
