Have you felt "left out" of the traditional relationship self-help books because you derive great pleasure from following your partner's requests and direction on many things in your life? Or do you respond to the natural inclination to guide, direct, and protect your partner? Are your friends and family having difficulty understanding that your relationship works more like a captain and first mate on a boat? If so, this innovative audiobook, Leading and Supportive Love: The Truth About Dominant and Submissive Relationships, can help with new and clearer understanding of yourself, your relationship, and acceptance with those that you love and care for.

The dominant and submissive relationship is an ancient and contemporary harmonious dance that has become mysterious, magnetic, powerful, and controversial in modern-day society. It may not be what you think, and some of the truth may surprise you! It's a law of nature for socialized animals and humans to have hierarchical relationships. There are those who answer that call in a more literal, thorough way. The couple has a "pack leader", or a dominant leader, and a submissive member. Through history to modern day, both roles have been held by both men and/or women.

Oh, and yes: This is a relationship where both partners are equals. Learn about case illustrations, research insights, relationship help, and surprising details that may make you look at this type of long-term, committed relationship in a whole different way, no matter what gender you are! Do you identify with one of these lists of traits? Most people either do identify or know someone who does. If so, this unprecedented book is for you!
