  Crucible Newsletter, Vol.4 February, 2010  
 
Dear friend,
In case you missed our prior newsletter, Crucible4Points.com is now open! It's our new flagship website for disseminating the 4 Points of  Balance world-wide. The Crucible 4 Points of Balance™  boil thirty years of work with differentiation down to four key guidelines for living. They are part of the latest neurobiological applications of the Crucible Approach.
     Crucible4Points.com's cutting-edge mind-mapping technology goes hand in hand with our work on mind-mapping, interpersonal brain function, and brain-changing psychotherapy. Crucible Brains, available only on our website, make it easy and fun to learn and apply our approach.
     For Valentine's Day we've got several suggestions: (1) Read our article about sex and intimacy in normal relationships. (2) Take our updated Sex in Relationship Survey to assess your love life and compare results with 14,500 respondents from around the world. (3) Use our Self-Discovery Brain to assess 16 areas of your relationship and compare responses with your partner.
     Four million readers of Good Housekeeping magazine learned about the Crucible Approach through a large feature article in the February 2010 issue. If you missed it, check out the link below. You'll also see we're releasing a new downloadable audio MP3  recording.
     Please support our efforts by forwarding this newsletter to your friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth advertizing has always been one of our greatest resources. We need your help to make people aware of  Crucible4Points.com and steer its future development. Tell us what you think of our new website. Send this email to people who would appreciate it. Help us make the world a better place to fall in love.

Self-discovery Brain
For Valentine's Day, invest in your relationship. Assess your feelings about your relationship and your partner, and lay out your satisfactions and discontents. The Crucible Self-Discovery Brain provides a detailed look at 16 areas important to a vibrant healthy relationship. One partner can do this alone, and if both partners participate you can compare results. Our unique graphic display of results lets you and your sweetie see your relationship’s strengths and weaknesses, and areas of agreement and disagreement. A real boon for delving into long-avoided issues. Great for increasing self-validated intimacy in your relationship. (Singles can use a different version to prepare for their next relationship.)

Does this mean you should save your candy and flowers? There are much better ways to rekindle intimacy and desire and lots of people probably need them.
