How Couples can grow up the spiral together – into the highest stage of love
WITH DR. TOM HABIB
The Spiritual Stage of Love is the highest stage of development for an intimate couple.
It is the 5th and final known stage in the Couples Line of Development(2014, 2018) developed by Dr. Tom Habib. He is finding that when couples hear a description of some of the capacities of the Spiritual Stage in his clinical practice it acts like a catalyst speeding up their growth from the lower stages most of us inhabit.
In previous episodes Tom Habib has explained the previous stages through which couples go and how they can grow. If you want to prepare for this show, please check THIS out!

HEIDI´S INTRO TO THE SHOW
During the IEC Conference in Hungary 2016 I had occasion to videotape the presentation of Dr. Tom Habib on the “Couples Line of Development”. I posted it on YouTube and we had several shows with him in our Wisdom Factory, always talking about intimate couples and how the knowledge of the integral map can explain certain phenomena and how, using the map, we can predict the growth process and skilfully help the couples grow in a good way.
It is astonishing how Tom’s message is “landing” with the people: Almost unknown in the integral community 2 years ago, he is now widely known and his work very much appreciated.
While most of us know well the first few levels of development for couples – we have had some couple experiences, hadn’t we? -, we need to stretch our imagination when it comes to the higher states. Maybe we had a glimpse of them every now and then, maybe not. But we all would like to get there, I suppose.
So let’s listen to what Tom has to say about the highest stage, the “spiritual stage”, and see where we need to direct our development to get there!
