Our evolution has taken a new path, and our relationships are changing in unexpected and dramatic ways.

In Spiritual Partnership, bestselling author Gary Zukav reveals a profound new relationship dynamic that enables us to reach our full potential and create authentic power—the fulfilling and joyful life that is calling to us all.
