About this listen
Create a relationship that lasts.
Dr. Bruce Chalmer’s Reigniting the Spark shows couples how to build a lasting relationship full of passion and fulfillment. You’ll learn how to improve your communication, have better sex, and avoid pointless arguments.
Dr. Chalmer combines his expertise in science with 30 years of experience as a couples therapist to show how you can restore intimacy and overcome any relationship problem to create and maintain a lively, loving, lasting relationship. He offers a unique perspective on the role of faith — not necessarily religious — in relationships. Whatever your faith background, religious or secular, Dr. Chalmer’s approach to faith as a key to unlocking intimacy will inform and inspire you.
This book explores the most common issues that sap the happiness out of a relationship and shows you exactly what to do to turn it around. Written in a relatable and easy-to-understand style, Reigniting the Spark will help you better understand yourself and your partner so you can both be more satisfied.
Whether you’re reading alone or with a partner, Reigniting the Spark will teach you:
- How to build and restore intimacy, trust, and a deep connection in your relationship
- How to identify triggering issues like trauma that could be sapping the joy out of your relationship, and exactly what to do about it
- A list of bad reasons people get married — and one good one
- How to go from plain old sex, to good sex, to sacred sex
- How to be your best self when your partner has been unfaithful
- How to know when to break up, and when to work through the inevitable growing pains in your relationship
Reigniting the Spark is for any couple who’s ready to create a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.

Severing a cherished relationship is one of the most painful experiences in life - and cutting those emotional ties to a loved one can feel almost like ending an addiction. Up till now, people recovering from other problems were able to get real help - like AA and rehab - while those struggling in the aftermath of traumatic breaks dealt with platitudes and friends insisting they should "get over it already". But now Exaholics Anonymous treats getting over an ex like kicking a chemical habit.

The human mind is a masterpiece - one which is defined by several factors, including the things we pass through as humans. Some of these things make us better, while others change us for the worse. In the process of getting changed for the worst, we come out of these situations by totally caring about other people’s problems rather than ours for survival. This is not a good way to live, and to be honest, this is not the way things have been designed to happen.

Now, 10 years and many studies later, she expands her body of work to explore a brand-new take on self-compassion. Although kindness and self-acceptance allow us to be with ourselves as we are, in all our glorious imperfection, the desire to alleviate suffering at the heart of this mindset isn't always gentle, sometimes it's fierce.

Psychologist Dennis Ortman likens the psychological aftermath of sexual betrayal to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in its origin and symptoms, including anxiety, irritability, rage, emotional numbing, and flashbacks. Dr. Ortman sees recovery as a spiritual journey and draws on the wisdom of diverse faiths, from Christianity to Buddhism. He also offers exercises to deepen recovery, such as guided meditations and journaling.

Story
To grow in recovery, we must grow up emotionally. This means getting honest with ourselves and facing up to the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our sobriety at risk. Although there are as many ways to mess up recovery as there are alcoholics and addicts, some general themes exist, which include: confusing self-concern with selfishness; not making amends; using the program to try to become perfect; not getting help for relationship troubles; and believing that life should be easy. Allen Berger explores the 12 most commonly confronted beliefs and attitudes that can sabotage recovery.
