Download or read book The Marriage You Do Not Deserve written by Lance W. Bell and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-06 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marriage You Do Not Deserve is the product of 20 years of Christian marriage research, wisdom, and teaching. This book was written for Christian women and men looking forward to marriage, or those already married, seeking to learn more about God’s institution. A caution for those who reject God or the notion of a God who would send His son to Earth in order to walk with His creation and suffer the ultimate penalty for our rebellion. This book is grounded in the Christian Bible. If you do not have a relationship with Christ but are open to learning more about Him, then you should receive a great deal of revelation from this book. This book is intended to offend its audience. As strange as that might sound, I have learned that few people learn and embrace new concepts from the safety of their comfort zone. The ideas in this book are intended to get under your skin, expose the depths of your selfish nature, and educate you to the amazing institution of marriage that God intended for His children. The number one cause of divorce in the world is not money, communication or lack of sex; rather, divorce is the outcome of our self-centered nature and the material pursuit of happiness. This book explains how we were created—body, mind, and soul. Each area is explored in depth, in relation to our part in a Christian marriage. While both the wife and the husband have equal value in God’s eyes, we were created and intended to perform very different roles within His marriage construct. The book explores the history of marriage in the Bible, how our brains were designed for social interaction and relationship, how our bodies were designed for sex, and how getting marriage right leaves a Godly legacy for generations to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book walks each of us through the reality checks we need in order to have the marriage we want!” —Shaunti Feldhahn, social researcher and best-selling author of For Women Only In today’s workplace, women are often rewarded for having type A personalities: driven, demanding, ambitious, and strong. Yet when it comes to their marriages, those same traits can backfire. After all, no one goes into marriage hoping for a promotion. What is a wife to do? April Cassidy knows this struggle firsthand. She thought she was a great Christian wife and begged God to make her passive husband into a more loving, involved, godly leader.

Cassidy’s conclusions may be as startling to readers as they were to her, but The Peaceful Wife shares how she and many others have learned to reorient their lives to biblical commands—resulting in healthier, happier marriages. In the end, you’ll find The Peaceful Wife a powerful path to God’s design for women to live in full submission to Christ as Lord.

Book excerpt: The acclaimed Nobel Prize winner challenges our most fiercely held beliefs as she weaves folklore and history, memory and myth into an unforgettable meditation on race, religion, gender, and a far-off past that is ever present—in prose that soars with the rhythms, grandeur, and tragic arc of an epic poem. “They shoot the white girl first. With the rest they can take their time.” So begins Toni Morrison’s Paradise, which opens with a horrifying scene of mass violence and chronicles its genesis in an all-black small town in rural Oklahoma. Founded by the descendants of freed slaves and survivors in exodus from a hostile world, the patriarchal community of Ruby is built on righteousness, rigidly enforced moral law, and fear. But seventeen miles away, another group of exiles has gathered in a promised land of their own. And it is upon these women in flight from death and despair that nine male citizens of Ruby will lay their pain, their terror, and their murderous rage. “A fascinating story, wonderfully detailed. . . . The town is the stage for a profound and provocative debate.” —Los Angeles Times

Book excerpt: "One of the foremost relationship experts at work today applies the insights of science toward understanding the real meaning of trust between a couple. He decodes the "why" behind betrayal and shows how partners can avoid or recover from unfaithfulness and maintain a loving relationship.Dr. John Gottman, the country's pre-eminent researcher on marriage, is famous for his Love Lab at the University of Washington in Seattle where he deciphers the mysteries of human relationships through scientific research. His thirty-five years of exploration have earned him numerous major awards, including from the National Institute of Mental Health, the American Psychological Association, and the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. Now, Dr. Gottman offers surprising findings and advice on the characteristic that is at the heart of all relationships: Trust. Dr. Gottman has developed a formula that precisely calculates any couple's loyalty level. The results determine a relationship's likely future, including the potential for one or both partners to stray. A Love You Can Trust shows couples how to bolster their trust level and avoid what Dr. Gottman calls the "Roach Motel for Lovers." He describes how the outcome of--"sliding door moments," small pivotal points between a couple, can lead either to more emotional connection or to discontent. He suggests a new approach to handling adultery and reveals the varied and unexpected non-sexual ways that couples often betray each other. A Love You Can Trust guides couples through an empirically tested, trust-building program that will let them repair and maintain a long-term, intimate, and romantic relationship"--
