Download or read book Marriage Makeover written by Barbara Bartlein and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2011-10-07 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trying to put the spark back in your most important relationship? Bartlein offers practical tips and insights into building a stronger relationship through everyday acts of love and kindness.Couples often wonder how they can improve their marriages and may invest considerable time and effort in classes, counseling, and "encounter" weekends to find the answers. More often, though, they do nothing. They settle into a daily routine that is busy and demanding with little time to think about, let alone implement, improvements to their marriage. Couples report, "We simply grew apart," or "We no longer enjoy the same things," or "We just did not have time for each other." They drift through their busy lives, putting marriage on the back burner. They are then surprised when it fizzles out. This is unfortunate, because, as Bartlein reveals, with just a little effort, you can create experiences that weave together to strengthen, enhance, and grow your marriage, almost effortlessly.

Download or read book The Marriage Makeover written by Philip Wagner and published by Authentic Media Inc. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 10-Day Plan to Turn Around Your Marriage Does the idea that you could have a complete marriage makeover in ten days seem simplistic to you? Does it seem like an impossibility? Do you think I'm overpromising or trivializing what you are facing? You might be thinking, "Philip, do you really think people can solve any marriage problem in ten days? Give me a break!!" Here is what I know: in ten days, you can radically change the environment of your marriage from hostile to trusting, from cold to warm, or from distant to embracing. In ten days you can drastically change the tone of your relationship and you can create the environment in which any problem can be worked on in a safe and promising atmosphere. Whether you are here because you have run a few red lights in your relationship, or because it's a total wreck, I want to welcome you and offer you this simple encouragement: You can turn your marriage around! You don't have to do something terrible to mess up your marriage; you just have to do "nothing." Something as important as love, left to itself, can gravitate to the lowest level of passion. In The Marriage Makeover, I am going to give you ideas for refreshing ten different areas of your marriage relationship. I've structured the book with ten short chapters so that you can read one each day. This works. It is simple, the chapters are not long, and the advice is not complicated. But that does not mean it is easy. Growth demands vulnerability and trust. You will experience uncomfortable emotions. You will face resistance. You may even question if you are getting anything out of this process, but if you give the biblically based truths in this book a chance, I guarantee you will see a change. Put your heart and soul into this and you will not be disappointed. FOREWORD: By Holly Wagner, bestselling author of GodChicks book series.

Book excerpt: “The Seven Laws of Love is insightful, compelling, inspiring, grounded, and immeasurably practical. We love this book! Everyone needs to read it. Don’t miss out on its powerful message.” —Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott, authors of Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts In our fast-paced, success-obsessed culture, we’re constantly tempted to chase after things that don’t matter.

In Dave’s humorous, touching, down-to-earth style, The Seven Laws of Love takes you on a journey through the ins and outs of everyday relationships—with your spouse, your children, your friends, and your coworkers—using practical, applicable examples and guiding principles that demonstrate what a life of love actually looks like. There is no higher calling on earth than to love and be loved. It’s time to learn The Seven Laws of Love, and to make loving a priority over all other pursuits. Anything else isn’t really living.

Book excerpt: Don't miss this satisfying, swoony, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy perfect for readers who love Christina Lauren, Emily Henry, and Helena Hunting Why am I hiding behind a dumpster at the Gas-N-Go in my pajamas, spying on Will? A month ago I was America's favorite TV relationships expert. Now? I'm the loser facing a major scandal, whose catastrophic love life is splashed across TMZ, social media, and every gossip show and supermarket tabloid — all because I got dumped by my husband on national TV. For a reality TV star. And that's not even the worst part. Now, I'm scrambling to un-shamble my life, make a comeback, and salvage what's left of my heart and my career — which is constantly complicated by the fact that I keep publicly screwing up (on camera, no less), my publicist is advising me to do some (let's say questionable) stuff to get my career back on track, and most of all, because I can't tell if my insanely sexy divorce attorney Holt is flirting with me, or just giving me legal advice. It definitely feels like flirting. Like, the best flirting of my entire life — the kind that makes all your parts tingle, not just your toes. Is that a bad thing? Yeah, it is — because if I fall for him, we'll both be torpedoing our careers, not to mention everything else that really matters to me. It's just so hard to stop...

People today are trying to make their marriages work over longer lives than ever before. But staying married isn’t always easy.

Then, de Marneffe offers seasoned wisdom on these difficulties, explaining the psychological, emotional, and relational capacities we must cultivate to overcome them as individuals and as couples. Blending research, interviews, and clinical experience, de Marneffe dives deep into the workings of love and the structures of relationships.

Anyone in any relationship at any stage of life could stand to learn from the wisdom in these pages” (Andrew Solomon, National Book Award-winning author of Far from the Tree).
