GODS AND GODDESSES IN LOVE:
MAKING THE MYTH A REALITY FOR YOU
BY AGAPI STASSINOPOULOS
Learn How to Love Like a God or Goddess |
|
|
|
|
|
Three thousand years ago, the ancient Greeks created gods and
goddesses out of a need to understand themselves and their
relationships with one another. For the first time ever, the
existence of these archetypes in modern day romance is
explained in GODS AND GODDESSES IN LOVE by Agapi
Stassinopoulos, an essential guide which shows how to put
the gods and goddesses to work in achieving the greatest
love attainable. Now, men and women of all ages can benefit
from these archetypes by learning their own god or goddess
personality, and how the two can work together to have the
most successful, loving relationship by acknowledging their
vulnerabilities and affirming their strengths.
GODS AND GODDESSES IN LOVE tells the basic stories of
the seven goddesses and eight gods. Not only do these myths
entertain as they tell the stories of these strong,
independent, passionate deities, but they also enlighten
women and men as to how their own personal behavior on the
trail of true love may become more successful.
Included are two fun and fascinating quizzes: one for women
to determine their own dominant personality type and which
Goddess she most embodies; and a second that will help every
woman understand more about the “god” she is involved with,
or searching for. From the Goddess Aphrodite to the God
Zeus, women can identify their own goddess type, their most
desired god, and gain an understanding of the strengths and
weaknesses that each of these types brings to a
relationship.
In the book, the seven archetypal goddesses are portrayed in
modern terms, highlighting not only each goddess’s unique
strengths, but also the stumbling blocks she is likely to
encounter in a relationship with her partner. Also included
in each chapter are interviews with real couples that reveal
how they learned to understand each other’s personality
types and overcome their obstacles to discover the
strongest, most unconditional true love.
For those who desire the self-knowledge to find their ideal
partner, and for those who want to empower themselves and
their partners to attain the most rewarding relationship,
GODS AND GODDESSES IN LOVE provides an uplifting and
instructive guide for achieving the greatest fulfillment in
love. |

on the traits of the famous ladies of Olympus -- Aphrodite,
Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Hera, Hestia and Persephone. To
help readers discover which goddess they most embody,
Stassinopoulos offers a 12-question quiz…there’s a similar
quiz designed to help them figure out which god their man
most resembles…Stassinopoulos capably relates the deities’
lives to that of contemporary women…Examples of real life
couples (e.g. “Elaine and Mike: Opening the Channels of
Communication”) ground [GODS AND GODDESSES IN LOVE.]”
