By Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt


Harville Hendrix, with his wife, Helen LaKelly Hunt, cocreated Imago Relationship Therapy and developed the concept of “conscious partnership.” Listening is the first act of love, says Harville. Listening leads to collaboration, cooperation, and co-creation. When we accept that other people are different, we can connect beyond our differences, he says. Here, Harville and Helen demonstrate “mirroring an appreciation” with your partner.
