Book excerpt: Foundational pathway to matrimonial success clearly reveals that God is the source of human existence and has created mankind to fulfil a destiny. God has an exclusive purpose for every person in a world predominantly ruled by evil. A person's choice of a marriage companion is vital and must be in alignment with God's will to fulfil this purpose. Unfortunately, many seem to choose marriage - companion almost exclusively based on physical attributes alone. The pathway to matrimonial success has become very challenging lately. And the alarming levels of marital instability and broken marriages in our societies have made marital union undesirable to many young people. Human substitutes to divine guidelines for successful marriage have failed completely .However, God's help remain constantly available. The family unit is the foundation from which every human originates. Similarly, the choice of a marriage companion is the foundational structure on which the family is built. Marriage relationship can be successful when the people involved are aware of its implications and are committed to make it work. Spiritual and emotional maturity contributes to marital success.

Download or read book The Road to Marital Success is Unpaved written by Kenneth H Waldron Ph D and published by Austin Macauley. This book was released on 2023-06-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly readable research-based book provides surprising answers to this simple question in plain language. Successfully married spouses have a realistic understanding of marriage and demonstrate effective marriage skills when compared to those in troubled marriages. The authors tell the reader those "secret" understandings of marriage, but more importantly, describe the skills needed to be successful and how to learn those skills. The book is a practical roadmap for married people to realize their dreams of a life-long marriage worth lasting. The book explodes myths about marriage, explains why the challenges and struggles of marriage are normal, how to get through them and reassures us that when a marriage is successful, the effort is worthwhile. The book treats marriage as a "game" and describes how to play it well and have fun playing it. The skills are presented as practical behaviours that can be learned and applied as soon as the next day. The skills turn many ideas about marriage, and even some expert advice, on their head, and while acknowledging that a successful marriage can seem magical, the book exposes the secrets and tricks behind the magic. This is a book for people starting out in a marriage, for people struggling in a troubled marriage, and even for people heading for divorce who would like to turn around their marriage. The book makes clear that reaching a successful marriage is not easy, but that most marriages can be successful. More importantly, the book offers hope and a practical "we can do it" and "here is how" approach. Finally, the book offers a roadmap to mental health counsellors (psychologists, marriage, child and family counsellors, social workers and other licensed counsellors), when working with clients who need help regarding their marital situation.

Download or read book Pathway to Freedom written by Gloria J. Kelsey and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gloria Kelsey has experienced several traumatic events in her life, including a near-death experience at birth, an abusive and toxic marriage, and the death of her two children. Walking through the chapters of her life, you will discover how unresolved trauma built strongholds of insecurity, fear, and rejection within her soul. Agreeing with an oath of secrecy, and suppressing negative emotions, caused physical and psychological distress; blocking the healthy flow of energy within her body and creating an environment for disease to exist and develop. As Gloria travelled the healing path, she learned that many diseases originate from traumatic situations and that emotional memories from painful events were stored in her brain, and at the cellular level of her body, along with the anger, grief, and stress associated with those events. Living in a toxic marriage caused Gloria to come into agreement with a casualty covenant that brought reality into being; negating God’s Word and impeding her body’s ability to heal. As she allowed the Lord to navigate her through the healing process by dealing with the roots, fruit and effects of emotional and psychological trauma, the ticking bomb of unprocessed trauma was diffused. The Lord brought healing to her spirit, soul and body; giving her the freedom to cross over ‘Jordan’ and come into her divinely appointed destiny!

Download or read book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.
Download or read book Fierce Marriage written by Ryan Frederick and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.
Download or read book The Effects of Wrong Foundation on Marriage written by Tim Oluminu and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writer of the book of Ecclesiastes says that everything in life has a beginning and an ending. There is time to every purpose under the sun. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to uproot, etc. What he was saying is that everything in life has a foundation on which they are built. Therefore, there is nothing in the World that does not have one form of foundation or the other, including marriages. In this book, the author takes a critical look at various issues that do have negative effects on marriages while their foundations are being laid and before the knot is finally tied. It reveals various issues in the areas of courtship and traditional marriage ceremonies that may affect marriages in the future and at the same time highlighted what can be done by couples whose marriage is currently submerged in the troubled ocean by showing the way out of such quagmire.
Download or read book Communities in Action written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
Download or read book The All or Nothing Marriage written by Eli J. Finkel and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “After years of debate and inquiry, the key to a great marriage remained shrouded in mystery. Until now...”—Carol Dweck, author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success Eli J. Finkel's insightful and ground-breaking investigation of marriage clearly shows that the best marriages today are better than the best marriages of earlier eras. Indeed, they are the best marriages the world has ever known. He presents his findings here for the first time in this lucid, inspiring guide to modern marital bliss. The All-or-Nothing Marriage reverse engineers fulfilling marriages—from the “traditional” to the utterly nontraditional—and shows how any marriage can be better. The primary function of marriage from 1620 to 1850 was food, shelter, and protection from violence; from 1850 to 1965, the purpose revolved around love and companionship. But today, a new kind of marriage has emerged, one oriented toward self-discover, self-esteem, and personal growth. Finkel combines cutting-edge scientific research with practical advice; he considers paths to better communication and responsiveness; he offers guidance on when to recalibrate our expectations; and he even introduces a set of must-try “lovehacks.” This is a book for the newlywed to the empty nester, for those thinking about getting married or remarried, and for anyone looking for illuminating advice that will make a real difference to getting the most out of marriage today.
