For Husbands Only- Does your wife seem to be cold and unresponsive to you? Do you wish there was some way you could bring life back into your marriage? Is your wife too critical? Do you wish she was more supportive? For Wives Only- Does it seem that the only thing your husband thinks about is sex? Or, do you wish you could get your husband interested in sex? Do you get sick and tired of him watching TV and never talking to you? Are you about fed up with marriage? Wait! Don't give up yet! There is help between the covers of this book. Marriage was not intended for detachment or to be boring and unfulfilling. When God made us, He was well aware of how we were constructed. Ample provision was made for meeting all our needs, which included our sexual needs. This was to be done within the confines of a loving, committed, relationship--marriage. The contents of this book span from contemplating marriage, to menopause and mid-life crisis, pausing as it tunnels through such issues as choosing the right mate, preserving the honeymoon, spousal abuse, conflict resolution and divorce-proofing your marriage. There are special sections, which speak to and speak for husbands and wives, on most concerns one might face and would like an effective, tactful way to communicate them. When both partners share the information in this book and take it to heart, both can experience a joyful renewal in the relationship or build one that will last. Enjoy! About the Author: Since 2005, Viola has published two other books: Check Yourself, which is a collection of inspirational poetry and Making the Right Choices, which is a collection of evangelistic drama for youth. Her mission in life is to impact her world for eternity through sharing the Word of God. She believes that poetry is a means of capturing the attention of many, because it is easy reading, and it is viewed by many to be an expression of beauty; therefore, it paves the way for presenting truths that may otherwise be rejected. Viola T. Miller and her husband, Billy, reside in their hometown of Luxora, Arkansas, which has a population of about 1,300 and is located in north eastern Arkansas. Both are retired schoolteachers and are parents of two sons, Billy, Jr and Adrian.

Download or read book Formula for a Successful Marriage written by Desiree Andrews and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Formula for a Successful Marriage" is a blueprint to build a solid foundation for your marriage. Discussed are essential elements needed to achieve a harmonious marriage. The formula was conceived by the Holy Spirit and given to Pastor DesireE Andrews to pass on to those seeking to improve or maintain a God-filled, God-ordained, successful marriage. In this book, you will discover the essential ingredients to accomplish just that. The formula, C4H2L, is comprised of four parts C--commitment, communication, companionship, and copulation; two parts H--honesty and hugs; and one part L--love, all of which are necessary for a fruitful marriage. God ordained marriage and intended for it to be a blessed union between one man and one woman. Society today has all but outlawed what constitutes a successful marriage from God's perspective. The implementation of this formula builds back that which was lost. With two things being a given in marriage, God and prayer, the C4H2L formula acts to bind the husband and wife together in marriage. Many marriages fail because one thing or another is neglected and goes lacking for extended periods of time. Society says it's okay to give up on your marriage and go be with someone else, but the Word tells us what God has joined together let no man put asunder. The formula, therefore, aids in keeping things in balance to ensure nothing is overlooked, nothing is neglected, nothing is lacking. It is not a cure-all solution but are the building blocks needed for a successful marriage. If we hold to the biblical principles established from the beginning of time we do well in maintaining and improving the marital relationship. If we do it God's way, we will succeed. This book will help identify that which was from the beginning and guide the reader to a meaningful, healthy, and successful marriage.

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.
