SISTERS, OR -- (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) -- 02/14/2002 -- In celebration of Valentines Day, Multnomah Publishers announces the release of The Many Loves of Marriage, by Thomas and Nanette Kinkade, in agreement with Media Arts Group, Inc. Generally known as the Painter of Light, Thomas Kinkade has now written a brilliant book on marriage, with his wife and childhood sweetheart, Nanette.

This rich, fascinating read, adorned with Kinkades classic paintings, shares not only the couples own storybook romance, but also the various faces of love over time that mark a sustainable, delightful, and fulfilling relationship.

The fireworks of romantic love are only one small part of a happy marriage," write the Kinkades, who have been married for nearly twenty years. Other kinds of love include:

- An enduring love that rides the rolling waves like a sailboat, drawing strength from the shifting winds.

- An attentive love that reminds us the life we desire together is fragile, needing sunlight, water, and daily care.

- A spontaneous love that embraces each new day with wide-open eyes and refuses to allow the pale and diminished expectations of others to dilute our joy.

- A sharing love, where weve seen that the view from the bridge between us is a wider, grander sight than we could have ever seen from either shore.

Illustrating these and other kinds of love with exciting and tender episodes from their marriage, the Kinkades share the rich rewards of fidelity, endurance, unselfishness, and spiritual commitment. With their vibrant relationship, a Christian couple can become a beacon of love, united in a life purpose bigger than themselves and their marriage.

Thomas Kinkade is Americas most-collected living artist, a painter-communicator whose tranquil, light-infused paintings bring hope and joy to millions each year. A devoted husband and father of four daughters, Kinkade grew up in the small town of Placerville, California, where his traditional values were instilled.
