Grace Filled Marriage

Couples come to the altar bursting with love for each other. Yet, based on how many marriages are unfulfilling, unhappy, or worse yet, end in divorce, it would seem that the love that gets couples married isn’t enough to keep couples married. This study explores a radical hypothesis: Most marriages don’t fail because they lack love…they fail because they lack grace.

The Crazy Cycle

We know that divorce is a major issue in our culture today, both inside and outside the church. Despite our best attempts at love, couples find themselves paralyzed by dysfunction and mired in conflict.
In this 4-part series, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs sheds light on an often overlooked, yet indispensable element of a healthy marriage—respect. Combining biblical instruction with scientific expertise, Emerson provides insight into the unique ways in which God has designed both men and women and how they can rightly embrace their differences in marriage.

The Five Love Languages

Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he unpacks each one.

How We Love

Readers said “This book has been instrumental in changing my thinking and my spouse’s thinking. It dives into how our love styles were formed way back in our growing up years. The way we interacted with others (especially our parents) has a HUGE impact on how we interact with others as adults. Just being aware of HOW we LOVE and relate to others (or view ourselves) plays a HUGE role in overcoming these obstacles and working towards a healthier outlook. Practical exercises are given in the workbook. This is a book EVERYONE should read!”
