Download or read book Before You Say I Do written by Nuri Muhammad and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate powerbase of the black man and woman is the family. In family we learn our past and define our future and occasionally because of family we redefine our future. The rise of the Black man and woman will be a direct reflection of the elevation of the family. Our families nurture us and are the lens through which we first view the world. The initial establishment of a relationship creates a dynamic ripple effect that can either negatively or positively impact the soul of the person for generations to come. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan once said, "they breed horses better than they breed people" meaning that more care and consideration goes into preserving and extending the blood line of thorough-bred horses than goes into perfecting and evolving the human being. When Allah (God) is the true center of the relationship, then god's come forward and progress is unlimited, but when Allah (God) is an afterthought, then the progress of the couple is limited, stymied and erratic at best. In his first book, Bro. Nuri Muhammad wants to create a paradigm shift, wherein the reader will evolve to see family as the perfect reflection of the first Allah's self-creation and that family formation in this critical time must be seen as the foundation of dynasties. We are not only living in the now, we are creating the future through our words, deeds and actions.That which is done out of sync with the time is done in vain and is born from a reptilian mindset. The entire existence of reptiles can be categories as a struggle to ensure three primary and primal needs-food, procreation (sex) and the seeking of shelter from the elements. For far too many people these same primal needs have become the motivating foundation for entering into relationships. We can no longer as a people afford to think only in terms of the now, we must think in terms of the future perfect tense.Before You Say 'I Do' is the distillation of countless, counselling and practical application into a book conceived and designed to encourage not just lip-profession, but practical application of the mathematical formula for the formation of relationships not based on this worlds concepts of 'dating' but in accordance to the Divine Laws and commandments of God. In this book, the reader will learn the difference between dating and courting and the effect of each mind-set on the formation of relationships. Ultimately, the reader will be challenged to determine for themselves if they are forming a relationship for the now or establishing a righteous dynasty for the future.

Book excerpt: A heartwarming and revealing look at the wisdom drawn from successful marriages and the secrets to making love last, not from Ph.D.s or therapists but from more than 200 real couples who have walked the walk to more than forty years of marriage. Jaded by his parents' divorce, Mathew Boggs was a young man who'd lost all belief in lifelong love. After observing his grandparents who were madly in love after sixty-three years of marriage, Mat talked his best friend Jason into joining him on a cross-country search for America's greatest marriages. The two bumbling bachelors jumped in an RV and embarked on "Project Everlasting," a 12,000-mile cross-country adventure to discover what it takes to make love last. Each chapter of Project Everlasting is dedicated to one of the pressing questions the bachelors asked the couples, such as: —"How do you know you've found The One?" —"What's missing from today's marriages?" —"How do you keep the romance alive?" —"What's the most important ingredient for a solid marriage?" As the traveled the country, meeting happy couples from all walks of life, Mat and Jason began to understand why their own relationships hadn't worked out quite as planned. They also realized that what they were learning from their wise new friends could change everything for them and—through Project Everlasting—show their generation and generations to come how to build a marriage to last.

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 After I Do written by Taylor Jenkins Reid and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, comes a breath taking novel about modern marriage, the depth of family ties, and the year that one remarkable heroine spends exploring both. When Lauren and Ryan's marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes. Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren's ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for? This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It's about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you've got. And above all, After I Do is the story of a couple caught up in an old game-and searching for a new road to happily ever after.
