Judith Sherven, Ph.D. and James Sniechowski, Ph.D.

What do you want most from a relationship? To be loved for who you really are! No masks. No games. . . . loved and accepted for all that you are and to love someone in just the same way.

Judith Sherven and James Sniechowski are a husband-and-wife psychology team who practice what they teach.

When they met, she was forty-three and had never married, but was experienced in dating . . . and dating and dating and dating. She would say that she would do well in a marriage "if I can only get into one." And as a clinical psychologist in private practice for twenty-two years, she had worked with hundreds of men and women, couples and singles, helping them through dark and difficult times in their relationships.

On the other hand, when Jim met her he was forty-five, had a doctorate in Human Behavior, was co-founder of The Men's Health Network in Washington, D.C., and had been married twice before. He claimed that he never dated but went from one relationship to the next. His question was, "What do I have to do to make a relationship last?"

They married a year later and then, determined to discover the key to making a relationship succeed and to keeping romance alive, they distilled what they've learned so you can benefit from their experience. When you read their books and attend their workshops, you can see that neither of them had to give up being who they were in order to have the love and intimacy they wanted.

As relationship trainers, they've shown thousands of couples—some who had to overcome years of disappointment, hurt, confusion, and hopelessness—how to rediscover the beauty, promise, and excitement that initially brought them together. They have also given countless singles a new vision of dating, a way that can make every date a success.

Their extensive work with singles and couples includes trainings, seminars, workshops, lectures, and corporate consultations nationally and internationally. Frequently appearing in the media, they have been guest experts on over 600 radio and television shows and have written for or been interviewed by publications such as The Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, London Sunday Times, Wall Street Journal, and Parents' Magazine. They also provide regular columns for Today's Black Woman and The Toronto Sun..

Their books include The New Intimacy: Discovering the Magic at the Heart of Your Differences, which is an inspiring vision for what an intimate relationship can be. Opening to Love 365 Days a Year is a day-by-day guide to achieving it. And their latest, Be Loved for Who You Really Are: How the Differences Between Men and Women Can Be Turned into the Source of the Very Best Romance You'll Ever Know, takes you through the four inevitable passages of any long term loving relationship, explains the spiritual purpose for each, and shows you how you need never fail at love. In additon, they have several audiotapes you may find helpful.

All their books are available at bookstores nationwide, online at Amazon.com and their website, The Magic of Differences.
