The purpose of parts II and III is to re-educate us about ourselves, to show how the experiences of childhood brought us to where we find ourselves today. Part II talks about how we were nurtured; part III is about our socialization. Because how we were socialized with regard to gender and sexuality has such a powerful influence on our relationships, Hendrix has dedicated a whole chapter to this topic. As you read these sections and complete the exercises, it will become clear how your particular childhood experiences charted the course you now follow. You will see that who we fall in love with, and how we behave in our relationships, is a direct outgrowth of what came before
The dynamics of partnership is the subject of part IV, which begins with your discovering what kind of partner your childhood has prepared you to fall in love with. In all likelihood, you will find the description of what he calls the "unconscious" relationship all-too-familiar, from its romantic beginning in mystery and joy, through the long siege of disillusionment and anger, struggle and disappointment, to its ending in misery and pain. On a more hopeful note, he will chart the course of the kind of intentional, truly intimate relationship that we want, a "conscious" relationship, in which couples understand and accept the challenge of keeping the love they find.
Part V is the nuts-and-bolts section, an intensive training course in which you practice the skills and work on the behavior changes necessary to become a "conscious single", in preparation for a conscious partnership. In the final chapter he will give you a preview of the prize for the hard work of a conscious relationship: real love.
Love is hard -- life is hard -- but it's the only game in town. It's a high-stakes game, because how well you play determines how you will thrive and grow. You might as well learn to play it as well as possible, as soon as possible. Hendrix believes that Keeping the Love You Find tells you what you need to know to do just that.
