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 How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It written by Patricia Love, Ed.D. and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men are right. The “relationship talk” does not help. Dr. Patricia Love’s and Dr. Steven Stosny’s How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It reveals the stunning truth about marital happiness: Love is not about better communication. It's about connection. You'll never get a closer relationship with your man by talking to him like you talk to one of your girlfriends. Male emotions are like women's sexuality: you can't be too direct too quickly. There are four ways to connect with a man:touch, activity, sex, routines. Men want closer marriages just as much as women do,but not if they has to act like a woman. Talking makes women move closer; it makes men move away. The secret of the silent male is this: his wife supplies the meaning in his life. The stunning truth about love is that talking doesn’t help. Have you ever had this conversation with your spouse? Wife: “Honey, we need to talk about us.” Husband: “Do we have to?” Drs. Patricia Love and Steven Stosny have studied this all-too-familiar dynamic between men and women and have reached a truly shocking conclusion. Even with the best of intentions, talking about your relationship doesn’t bring you together, and it will eventually drive you apart. The reason for this is that underneath most couples’ fights, there is a biological difference at work. A woman’s vulnerability to fear and anxiety makes her draw closer, while a man’s subtle sensitivity to shame makes him pull away in response. This is why so many married couples fall into the archetypal roles of nagging wife/stonewalling husband, and why improving a marriage can’t happen through words. How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It teaches couples how to get closer in ways that don’t require “trying to turn a man into a woman.” Rich in stories of couples who have turned their marriages around, and full of practical advice about the behaviors that make and break marriages, this essential guide will help couples find love beyond words.

Marriage re: Designed, introduced in four building phases, highlights several areas where couples need to work together in strengthening their marriages. Whether it is communicating to one another to viewing each other as teammates and not adversaries to understanding what the Bible means to be submissive to one another. Besides sharing their insight from their professional counseling backgrounds, the Barnes also share several moments in their own marriage when issues arose but through God, they were able to come to terms with these issues and resolve them in the best ways.

Download or read book Born Again Marriages written by Carlos a Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-19 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you feel alone and trapped, like a prisoner in a loveless marriage, this may be the most important book you ever read. Here's why: My name is Carlos Hernandez and I was on the brink of divorce five years ago. My wife and I tried traditional counseling several times, but it didn't work. We felt like total failures because because we did everything the counselor told us, but it was hopeless. We did find out that we were both withholding love from each other in our own ways. My wife felt rejected because I treated her like she didn't even exist. I felt that she always reminded me when I did something wrong, but never acknowledged when I did something right. Counseling was expensive and ineffective. Divorce was the next logical step, but then God stepped into our marriage in a big way. Through a series of unexpected events, and lots of hard work, we slowly experienced healing in our marriage. It took lots of time and effort, but we intentionally made small changes that helped us fall in love again. I never thought I could love my wife again. We'd been through so much pain, so I thought our marriage was totally hopeless. We learned that nothing is impossible with God. Through the healing process, He revealed a miracle process for bringing freedom to marriages filled with pain and suffering. This book documents our journey. We understand if you are feeling rejected, trapped in an unfair commitment, unloved, lonely, and unappreciated in your marriage because we've been there. We spent five years in marriage hell. The good news is that God has used our mess to deliver an important message to you. There is hope for your marriage! In this book, you'll learn how to... Get the affection you need from your spouse without begging for it. Bring back the passion and love you experienced in the "honeymoon phase" of your relationship. Stop the constant fighting without ignoring the things about your spouse that drive you insane. Restore your marriage even if your spouse doesn't seem interested in you. Find out exactly what God says about your marriage without spending hours studying the Bible. Forgive your spouse any disrespectful things they've done without losing your dignity. Create positive change in your marriage without changing your spouse. The process of repairing our marriage was long and hard because we didn't have a guide. In our experience, marriage counseling is both expensive and ineffective. I'm sure there are some excellent marriage counselors that can get results, but the majority are glorified listeners. Yes, having someone listen to your problems is valuable, but it will not help repair your marriage. The alternative is finding a qualified pastor who can help you. The problem is that most of the pastors who are qualified to help are very busy running the church. The available pastors are usually very young and inexperienced. We've found that the church has the intentions to help, but they don't have the resources. We noticed this gap. Christian couples desperately want help, but they can't find the help they need. We've decided to stand in the gap and tell our story with the hopes it will help christian couples repair their marriage. This book could be the start of a new beginning for your marriage. Why not take a gamble on your future?

But I also urge psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, pastors, missionaries, and lay counselors to study it as well. I urge them because it not only covers a host of important aspects of marriage and includes practical tips but it also has deep spiritual and emotional concepts and even unconscious personality dynamics and how we all, to one extent or another, deceive ourselves in many ways that are detrimental to our marriages (Paul Meier, MD, founder of the national chain of Meier Clinics).

By revealing results from surveys hes conducted during marital retreats, the author shares specific behaviors that can cause trouble in a marriage. More importantly, he provides ideas and guidance on how to overcome problems.

It'd prevent and restore a lot of broken hearts." "It's been over a year since my betrayal, and my wife sees that I've changed, yet still suffers, daily from her broken trust.
