2 Equals One
Original price was: $19.99.$13.99Current price is: $13.99.Add to cartUncover the secrets to a thriving marriage. Focusing on reconciling differences and forging true intimacy, Two Equals One emphasizes the crucial roles of communication, understanding, and concerted team effort.
100% of marriages that end in divorce are cited for “irreconcilable differences.” Things that brought couples together are now tearing them apart. Simple occasional frustrations have morphed into everyday fights causing complex fractures. Marriages are miserable, families are affected, and the equation for a marriage made one is elusive.
In Two Equals One, Jimmy and Irene Rollins introduce you to a solution that is counter-cultural to a society that encourages you to give up, to not give your spouse any more chances, or use pain as permission to step out on your spouse. A solution that with two committed people coupled with the power of God can be the equation for a marriage made one. Two Equals One presents the case to stay rather than leave. To lean in rather than let go. To give you a framework and path to discover a marriage equation of love, laughter, and longevity.
From tackling tough topics such as addiction and resentment to addressing the impact of neglecting spousal roles, Two Equals One is a comprehensive guide to strengthening and salvaging relationships, while offering practical challenges, prayers, and resources to actively engage couples.
Jimmy and Irene will help readers to:
*Move from cussing and fussing to communicating and forgiving
*Learn tools to have hard conversations that will improve your communication and connection in relationships
*Find hope and healing in areas in your relationship where there is real hurt, broken trust, and rebuild your relationship together
*Discover how two completely different people can accept, learn from, and leverage their differences to make a marriage made one
Jimmy and Irene encourage couples to identify differences and navigate through them, providing guidance on conflict management and expectation setting. They stand firm in their belief that with effort and commitment, any marriage can overcome challenges and thrive. Your irreconcilable difference can be reconciled.

Lazy Love : Recognizing And Reversing The 4 Threats To Any Successful Relat
$28.00Add to cartBestselling 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.

New Marriage Same Couple Workbook (Workbook)
$19.99Add to cartFor better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health. We say those words and mean them. Until we don’t. This is a workbook about creating a different, better, new kind of marriage with the exact same person-no matter how dire the circumstances-with vision, commitment, and hope in the Lord.
Remember those early days of love? When your heart felt all fluttery, and you saw your person through rose-colored glasses? They could do no wrong. You were going to have the most beautiful life with big adventures and lots of sex. Of course, everyone says marriage is work, you knew that. But that was okay; you could get through anything together. It was going to be great.Until it wasn’t.
Something happened. Or maybe nothing happened. Maybe it was one big something, or a lot of little somethings over many years that landed you in a marriage you hardly recognize. For Josh and Katie Walters, it was a big something: infidelity. Now they counsel couples who find themselves exactly where they were: lost, hopeless, and unsure of how to fix their marriage.
This accompanying workbook to New Marriage, Same Couple lays out the principles Josh and Katie learned in that season when God healed and restored their marriage. This process is broken into four parts and is an acronym for the word STAY:
*S-start with you. (Discovering that when one person changes, the entire relationship changes.)
*T-take quitting off the table. (Bringing your whole self to the solution and not checking out mentally and emotionally.)
*A-allow others to be a part of your journey. (Trusting the right people, in the right ways, at the right time.)
*Y-yield to vision. (Looking past what is and imagining what could be.)
New Marriage, Same Couple Workbook will help establish hope in a couple’s marriage. And it will show them how to create a brand-new marriage, whether they’ve been married for a short time, or for decades.

Elige Sabiamente En El Amor – (Spanish)
$8.99Add to cartEl amor es un arte que se aprende, de manera que un noviazgo no puede nacer de un encuentro casual, porque no debe ser solo una emocion pasajera. Debe guiarnos a una amistad que podria conducirnos al matrimonio y, por lo tanto, debe verse como el fundamento de una relacion para toda la vida. En el amor no se improvisa, ni tampoco nos aventuramos a una experiencia a ciegas. El amor crece cuando nos damos el espacio necesario para conocernos. En su nuevo libro, Sixto Porras analiza el desarrollo apropiado de una relacion amorosa conducente al noviazgo y luego al matrimonio, explicando las etapas que esta relacion necesita tener, y las conductas recomendadas y no permisibles en cada etapa. La obra resulta ser una guia para evaluar nuestras posibles relaciones con objetividad, y elegir la pareja que en realidad nos conviene.
Love is an art that is learned, so that a courtship cannot be born from a casual encounter, because it should not be just a passing emotion. It should lead us to a friendship that could lead to marriage, and should therefore be seen as the foundation of a lifelong relationship. In love we do not improvise, nor do we venture into an experience blindly. Love grows when we give each other the necessary space to get to know each other. In his new book, Sixto Porras analyzes the appropriate development of a love relationship leading to dating and then marriage, explaining the stages that this relationship needs to have, and the recommended and not permissible behaviors at each stage. The work turns out to be a guide to evaluate our possible relationships objectively, and choose the partner who really suits us.

Why Marriage Counseling Fails
$16.99Add to cartLike 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 solutionsWhy 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.

Sacred Search : What If It’s Not About Who You Marry, But Why (Revised)
$17.99Add to cartIn the revised edition of his hit book The Sacred Search, author Gary Thomas helps single people of all ages make wise marital choices, in large part by rethinking what basis those choices should be made on.
Readers are encouraged to think beyond finding their “soul mate,” an idea that has its roots in the philosophy of Plato, and instead adopt a more biblical search for a “sole mate”– someone who will walk with them on their spiritual journey.
Thomas asks, What if we focused on why to get married more than on who to marry? What if being “in love” isn’t a good enough reason to get married? And most of all, what if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?

Como Amarme Y Amar A Los Demas – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartEEl verdadero amor es un estilo de vida, mas que una emocion. Involucra la expresion de nuestro mas profundo aprecio por otro ser humano. Es una manera especial de actuar, de sentir, y de pensar. Es la mejor forma de darnos a la otra persona, sin herir, humillar ni lastimar. Porque el amor piensa, razona, reflexiona y nos conduce a una relacion extendida en el tiempo.
“El amor crece a partir de verme como una persona realizada, plena, llena, feliz y completa. Esto es lo que me potencia para buscar a una persona con las mismas caracteristicas y asi compartir un proyecto de vida donde no dependamos, sino que nos complementemos. Entonces el amor hacia los demas se inicia en el amor hacia mi mismo”, resume Sixto Porras al presentar el tema de su nuevo libro, Como amarme y amar a los demas, un analisis profundo y aleccionador de lo que es en verdad el amor. Este libro te llevara a conocer los fundamentos de lo que hasta hoy pensaste que era tan solo una emocion que puede causarte una gran felicidad o sumirte en una triste decepcion.
“El amor se aprende mientras caminamos juntos, es una decision que hay que cultivar, defender y proteger.”
True love is a lifestyle, rather than an emotion. It involves the expression of our deepest appreciation for another human being. It is a special way of acting, feeling, and thinking. It is the best way to give ourselves to the other person, without hurting, humiliating or hurting. Because love thinks, reasons, reflects and leads us to an extended relationship in time.
“Love grows from seeing me as a fulfilled, full, full, happy and complete person. This is what empowers me to look for a person with the same characteristics and thus share a life project where we do not depend, but complement each other. Then love for others begins in love for myself”, summarizes Sixto Porras by presenting the theme of his new book, How to love myself and love others, a deep and sobering analysis of what love really is. This book will take you to know the basics of what until today you thought it was just an emotion that can cause you great happiness or plunge you into a sad disappointment.
“Love is learned while walking together, it is a decision that must be cultivated, defended and protected.”

Death Did Us Part
