A former friend once said to me, “I could have had him.” She was talking about the man I was in love with, who is now my husband. This person viewed ‘getting’ a relationship as if it were a fishing expedition. What she missed was that finding a true love relationship has nothing to do with fishing and a lot to do with becoming the person someone else wants to be with. There are three big questions to ask and answer as we proceed down our relationship-ready path: What needs to be developed in ourselves? Who have I picked or who do I usually pick and why? And if you are already in a relationship, what do we need to learn in order to make our relationship work? Creating a true love relationship with another asks us to develop specific qualities in ourselves. These seven qualities or ingredients are the key to “making a magic cake” with our beloved. Making this magic relationship also requires that we trust we can manifest this person – a person who we love, a person who adores us and who wants to build a relationship with us. In this book, you will read stories about other couples and their struggles and some of my stories as well. You will learn what makes a relationship work, and what does not. And you will be guided to develop these ingredients, becoming that person who can manifest the relationship of their dreams.

The Magic Cake: The Seven Ingredients of a Relationship-Ready Person, by Jennifer Lehr About the Author I grew up with three siblings, a father who was an illustrator and an artist and a mother who was a social worker and very 'practical.' Guess I got some of both. As a child I loved books, animals and anything creative. As I grew up and followed a creative path, it became clear to me that despite facility in the areas of art and creativity, I wasn't so good at standing up for myself or taking care of myself in relationship to others. I found myself unable to be fully empowered and after a particularly difficult relationship, I entered a 'dark night of the soul.' Reevaluating my priorities, I began to focus on a variety of learnings, teachings, workshops and therapy. I wanted more than anything to have full ownership of myself, to be able to walk through the world without fear and in full possession of my value as a human and spiritual being. As a result, my life has been focused on personal transformation and growth for many years. This focus has become what my life is about and is now what I continue to value and learn, as well as give back to the world. I have integrated the experiences I have gained navigating life's challenges into my work - my clinical skills and my writing. I love the work of assisting others in moving from pain or frustration to greater empowerment, satisfying relationships and joyful lives. I've also written WeConcile - an online system to help couples which is coming out soon.

Fortunately, thanks to the Internet and new resources By wendy weisel-bosworth Shouldn’t we all have access to affordable recipes for enjoyable relationships? In a panic to improve partner communication, many people will anxiously sign up for counseling, willing to pay from $75 to upwards of $200 per hour to try and fix the problem. Fortunately, thanks to the Internet and new resources, we have other proactive and affordable approaches to improving our most important human interactions.The Magic Cake is a helpful cookbook for any type of relationship; whether you’re in a long-term marriage, newly married, dating, or single, this book will help the reader recognize and develop the necessary ingredients for a successful and fulfilling partnership, or prepare the reader to become what the author calls “relationship-ready.”Jennifer Lehr includes seven ingredients, which incorporate key questions to help ensure a strong foundation for any relationship. Lehr prompts the reader to use “relationship glasses” in order to “see more clearly what’s going on.” These questions help the reader to slow down and critically think through the common problems in relationships, consequently transforming reactive responses into productive communication between couples. Lehr makes all of these strategies readable by blending these approaches with her own personal anecdotes.Maya Angelou once wrote, “What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.” Ms. Lehr teaches us that with healthy and satisfying ingredients, we can take action to improve our lives.

A delicious book about how to love and connect By judith s braun md Jennifer Lehr's "The Magic Cake" is a sophisticated look at what makes a person available for a truly I-Thou relationship and what traits to look for in a partner who can participate in real mutuality. As a child and adult psychiatrist and adult psychoanalyst practicing psychotherapy for 40 years I have experienced that the yearning for a good relationship and the heartache of being disappointed when the relationship just doesn't have the ingredients necessary to make it mutually satisfying are intensely human needs and feelings. Lehr uses the metaphor of" the magic cake" to describe how there are seven ingredients which each person must possess in order to create the magic which is true love in connection and lasting attachments. These ingredients are safety, accountability, empowerment, empathy, vulnerable communication, and insight. Lehr proceeds to describe these ingredients in the formation of each person's core sense of self, the ways in which each individual can have gaps in these qualities, and how to identify and then remedy areas of weakness which get in the way of the magic we all seek.The descriptions are noteworthy in that there is no sense of blame or shame attached to identifying problem areas in each of our "ingredients," and that everyone has areas of strengths and liabilities. Each person's magic cake will be special and unique, but all the ingredients must be in the batter and one must be mindful to keep an eye on it " in the oven." In other words, one must not take the magic for granted and recognize that for the magic to continue to be powerful it has to be fresh and well tended.Lehr takes deep concepts and describes them in accessible terms, using her own personal journey to illustrate how relationships can succeed or fail, and adding into the narrative vignettes of others whom she has helped to find the connection that we all seek. There is no imputation of psychopathology in the struggles that we all have to go through in order to actualize this important part of our humanness.I highly recommend this guide to relationships for those seeking mates in this complicated world of online dating where the "inventory," is vast. It is so helpful to know what basic traits need to be present in order to have an opportunity to get what one is seeking. I also recommend the book to those who are happily partnered who will inevitably have conflicts, despite the magic, and the exercises and descriptions will help each member of the dyad sort out where the conflicts originate and how to communicate and solve them. Complicated ideas made accessible for everyone with clear writing and clear thinking.
