How To Speak Life To Your Husband
Original price was: $19.99.Current price is: $13.99.

Discover the marriage you’ve always hoped for. With practical tools to help you communicate more effectively, you’ll learn to speak the language of love and grace that will encourage and strengthen your husband at every turn.

Ann Wilson spent more than a decade longing for a better marriage and for her husband to be more attentive, more involved, more helpful, and just all-around better. And every chance she got, she told him so. Where she thought she was being helpful, she was instead badgering him with constant critiques until all he heard was, “Boo! Boo!” when they were together. It almost broke their marriage. But Ann discovered the power that God has given wives.

No matter how long you’ve been married, you don’t need to spend another minute hoping and wishing for things to be different. They can! And the power is in your hands.

In this motivating, honest new book, Ann–marriage coach and bestselling author with her husband, Dave–shares how she breathed new life into her marriage by stewarding one of the most powerful gifts believers inherit from the Creator: encouragement. God has given wives a superpower to influence their husbands and homes, and you can use that power to build up and encourage your man to be a better husband, father, and man of God while still speaking truth to him. Relatable, encouraging, biblical, and funny, Ann shares stories from her own life, as well as valuable insights from Scripture, to help you:

*Address the ways you process and justify your communication patterns

*Seek spiritual and relational (re)alignment with both your husband and God

*Learn to exercise self-control and demonstrate radical grace in conversations with your husband

*Begin to cheer more than boo–in a way that isn’t put on, fake, or inauthentic

*Learn to speak truth in a way your husband can really hear you

*And, ultimately, cultivate a grace-based marriage that thrives

Real people in real relationships have real problems, but with God’s help, you can heal and sustain your marriage for a lifetime.

Better Share : How Couples Can Tackle The Mental Load For More Fun, Less Re
$29.99

Transform your marriage and enjoy your spouse again when you share the mental load and end the cycle of stress and resentment.

Relationship expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip helps couples view the mental load–the endless and mostly invisible work of managing a household and family–as a shared enemy to conquer versus a problem they have with each other, offering practical solutions for navigating the most common pain points couples struggle with.

Usually a few years after “I do”–once the reality of family life hits–many couples find themselves at each other’s throats because they don’t know how to navigate the mental and emotional work of managing a household together. They worry that they’ll always be fighting about who should do the dishes or pick up the balloons for the party, but don’t know how to begin talking about their frustrations without pointing fingers.

In A Better Share, Dr. Morgan Cutlip offers you practical advice that goes beyond getting your spouse to pick up the slack and focuses on the unique perspectives and experiences of each partner, enabling both of you to feel seen and heard. She helps you leave behind resentment and anxiety and begin to:

*Understand why the mental load primarily falls on women and how it impacts sexual desire
*Share perspectives, expectations, ownership, and accountability
*Use actionable plans for divvying up tasks and teaching the next generation how to share the mental load

Through research and stories based on real couples, A Better Share guides you out of the endless stress and resentment cycle and into a relationship where sharing is caring, having fun together is a priority, and great sex isn’t a thing of the past.

– understand potential causes of your husband’s lower sex drive

Marriage You Want
$19.99

We all want a marriage that feels like home. We long for a partner who is there for us through all of life’s challenges and griefs, who is in on all our inside jokes, who delights in the family we’ve built together, who looks with hope toward the future with a shared faith and an arm firmly around our shoulders.

Based on the findings of their meticulous research, Sheila Wray Gregoire and Dr. Keith Gregoire dispel the pervasive myths about what makes a happy marriage.

Deep Rooted Marriage
Original price was: $29.99.Current price is: $20.99.

What if you could experience a marriage that is not just good, but truly life-giving? Therapists Dan Allender and Steve Call show how deeper intimacy can bring more healing and delight.

Every relationship has its highs and lows, but we often don’t know what to do with our “lows,” or how we ended up there. What is creating friction, exacerbating our pain, and standing in the way of intimacy?

More often than not, it is the stories of our past drifting into the present. But if we are willing to look at them closely, we will be able to write a new story for the future.

With more than seventy years of therapeutic experience combined, Dan Allender and Steve Call demonstrate how God is inviting you and your partner to a wild faith journey with the hope of transformation. With personal stories, key psychological insights, and practical advice, The Deep-Rooted Marriage will help you:

*Address past trauma, giving you greater courage and compassion to engage your present struggles.

*Disrupt cycles of conflict based on shame, judgment, and resentment.

*Create safety when feeling threatened and offer attunement, empathy, and honor toward differences.

*Adopt humility, honesty, kindness, curiosity, defiance against what divides, and intention to bless.

*Learn practices that cultivate emotional intimacy, generating new goodness between you and beyond you.

Marriage is not about merely getting along or resolving conflict through compromise. It reveals who you are and invites you to who you can become. Marriage offers a space for you to experience what you are made for–honor and delight. And it is the ground from which redemption is meant to grow, where, together, you can reflect God’s image more and experience a taste of heaven.

How Do You Protect Your Marriage from the Temptations Surrounding You?

You set boundaries, or as long-married, bestselling author Jerry Jenkins says, “I plant hedges.” Jenkins shares a list he created and adheres to as a gift of love for his wife. These rules are intended to protect his marriage by guarding his eyes, his heart, and his hands.

Jenkins candidly shares, “I have planted hedges around myself to protect me, my wife, my family, my employer, my church, and supremely, the reputation of Christ. I share them not to boast, but to admit that I’m fleeing and in the hope that they might be of some benefit to you.”

Find out:

*Why hedges are needed

Lazy Love : Recognizing And Reversing The 4 Threats To Any Successful Relat
$28.00

Bestselling author and Senior Pastor of The Lighthouse Church and Ministries shares how to strengthen your relationships–with family, partners, friends, and others–and find deeper satisfaction by learning to love better.

Humans are meant to love and be loved, but so often we fall short at loving well. We take others for granted. We make assumptions. We forget to show our affection. We grow lazy.
We so often fail in our relationships with our families, our partners, our friends, and fellow humans because we are lazy in our love for one another, says Keion Henderson, pastor of the mega-church Lighthouse Church in Houston. Lazy love prevents us from experiencing the deep, soulful fulfillment we long to know. It keeps us from being known and enjoyed by those around us. And it stops us from stepping out to give who we are without expecting anything in return.

In his new book Lazy Love, Henderson unpacks the four kinds of love mentioned in the Bible– eros, or attraction; phileo, or friendship; storge, or familial; and agape, or spiritual love–and shows readers how each shapes our relationships and our lives. He also encourages readers to uncover the unhealthy practices that often lead to damaged or broken relationships and helps reader break free of the patterns that keep us from loving well.

The good news is that each of us can learn to love better and to improve our relationships–with our partners, our children, our friends, our co-workers, and our neighbors. Lazy Love will help readers become better at loving others in all areas of their lives.

Whether we know it or not, relationship styles cause some people to naturally thrive in relationships and others to struggle. According to attachment theory, we tend to experience love in predictable ways–some of which are healthy and some of which are not–based on our style and that of our partner.

The good news is, whatever relationship style you have naturally, you’re not stuck with it! Using the strategies found in this book, you can:

– identify your relationship style (and your partner’s)
– understand the strengths and challenges of that style
– overcome feelings of rejection and failed relationships
– recognize the patterns and behaviors that are affecting your relationships
– develop better ways to express and receive love

If you’ve been caught in a cycle of unsatisfying relationships, discover how attachment theory can help you take the guesswork out of understanding why people behave the way they do–especially in times of stress–so you can find and sustain a love that lasts.

Merge For Marriage
$16.99

Marriage can be surprisingly difficult when you’re first starting out.

Newly married couples face a tremendous challenge that is seldom talked about. In our social media-driven world, it’s easy to think that everyone else has it together in their marriages and wonder if maybe you made a mistake. The truth is, most couples don’t enter marriage with the communication or attachment skills needed to deal with the integration of two lives.

The Merge for Marriage helps answer the question newly married couples face: “Can we ever get on the same page?” Couples will learn:

*what it means to “merge” and the damaging effects of not dealing with differences early in a marriage;

*the seven predictable areas of conflict;

*a practical, powerful plan for dealing with differences with one’s partner; and

*how to help another couple walk through the merge process.

Full of practical stories, current research on connection and attachment, and enduring biblical principles, this book will help a couple learn how the different “merge points” in their marriage can actually strengthen their relationship so that they can enjoy a thriving marriage.

Why Marriage Counseling Fails
$16.99

Like life itself, marriage has moments of joy…and sorrow. As difficult as marriage can be, many who have said “I do” try to stick it out when problems arise because the alternative–being alone–is not very appealing. If the couple truly wants to save their marriage, they usually turn to counseling.

Unfortunately, most marriage counseling ends with the couple dropping out and then, more often than not, ending their relationship. In some cases, the problem is not the couple but their choice of counselor. One who is poorly trained, disinterested, or obviously biased can destroy a marriage.

Why Marriage Counseling Fails explores different scenarios that cause problems for couples as well as the different types of counselors who can help or harm a marriage. Dr. David B. Hawkins has more than forty-five years of experience as a marriage counselor and has helped thousands of couples save their marriages.

“Sadly, when it comes to reaching out for help for marriage counseling, few have a sense of trust and confidence in their counselor,” he says. “Stories abound about how they came out of a counseling session worse than when they went in.”

Dr. Hawkins defines the “five I’s” of a qualified marriage counselor as one who:

*Offers wise instruction
*Takes an active interest in the couple
*Offers insight into why problems recur
*Is willing to work intensively
*Works in-depth to help the couple find long-term solutions

Why Marriage Counseling Fails offers insights into marital issues, the brokenness of the counseling system, how to find good help, and how to insist upon effective help when turning to a counselor.

6 Hearts Of Intimacy
$16.99

Understand the way your spouse gives and receives love to bring greater passion to your marriage.

The 6 Hearts of Intimacy is a “Love Languages” for sex in marriage. Rather than focusing on techniques, it unlocks the secret to true sexual fulfillment by revealing the unique way each spouse gives and receives love. Various books describe the distinct ways in which people express and accept love, but this idea has never before been specifically applied to intimacy in marriage.

Marriage experts Bob and Cheryl Moeller present six biblically based and proven ways to enhance your relationship with your spouse as they describe the Romantic Heart, the Giving Heart, the Guardian Heart, the Companion Heart, the Worshiping Heart, and the Ecstatic Heart. They also expose the “counterfeit hearts” that are present in many people’s marriages, leaving their sexual relationship self-focused and empty. Many couples spend a lifetime attempting to express their love yet fail to achieve true intimacy. Sensitively written with practical advice and humor, The 6 Hearts of Intimacy shows husbands and wives how to successfully resolve conflicts in their relationship and how to care daily for their spouse’s unique heart of sexual love.

Warfare For Your Marriage
$16.99

A Spiritual Battle on the Home Front

The divorce rate in America is around 52 percent. Nearly half of all children are born out of wedlock. Something is very wrong. The Bible declares that illegitimacy brings a curse upon a family for ten generations. If this is true, American families are engaged in a spiritual battle and don’t even know it.

Married for nearly fifty years, Richard Ing has counseled hundreds of couples and is also an expert at spiritual warfare. He has identified the ways in which Satan and his demons attack marriage through struggles in communication, intimacy, rejection, and the baggage from our past.

This is not a book on Christian psychology and counseling, but rather, a direct counter-attack against the kingdom of darkness and the lusts of the flesh. It cuts to the chase by identifying the true source of most of our conflicts in marriage and how our attitudes carry over to almost all of our relationships, both in and outside of marriage. It exposes the evil spirits Satan uses to destroy marriages and how we can be delivered from them.

Additional Info
Based on the acclaimed sermon series by New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller, this book shows everyone-Christians, skeptics, singles, longtime married couples, and those about to be engaged-the vision of what marriage should be according to the Bible.

Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that your spouse is there to help you realize your potential; that marriage does not mean forever, but merely for now; and that starting over after a divorce is the best solution to seemingly intractable marriage issues. But these modern-day assumptions are wrong. Timothy Keller, with insights from Kathy, his wife of thirty-seven years, shows marriage to be a glorious relationship that is also misunderstood and mysterious. The Meaning of Marriage offers instruction on how to have a successful marriage, and is essential reading for anyone who wants to know God and love more deeply in this life.

Additional Info
Most of what the Bible has to say about marriage does not come flagged up under a heading of “marriage”. It’s not just the famous “marriage passages” that shape a gospel-centred marriage, but the whole Bible-story of God’s good creation, humanity’s wicked rebellion and God’s gracious redemption.

To understand why marriages struggle-as they all do-we need to understand the nature of our sin. To make marriages work, we need to understand how to apply the truth about God and His salvation.

This study guide on Christian marriage focuses on how the Gospel shapes the practical realities of everyday life. Author Tim Chester lifts the lid on many of the common pressure points that modern couples face, and shows how a proper understanding of the Gospel can shape a response.
