NEW UnBreakable Forging a Marriage of Contentment and Delight Charles Causey and Tony Miltenberger
NEW Never Fight Again—Guaranteed Groundbreaking Practices for a Win-Win Marriage David Hawkins
A unique resource for couples who want to repair, strengthen, and shockproof their marriages. The authors bring a remarkable combination of experience: both have served in the military, are actively involved as leaders in the church, and are married with families of their own. Their approach has already helped hundreds of military couples who live in perhaps the most challenging marriage context today. The authors are passionate about their work with our nation’s most-stressed marriages, and are eager to share this resource with chaplains, counselors, and pastors everywhere. Abingdon Press. Coming August 2014.
What do couples fight about most? Is it sex, money, children, in-laws, or time management? The answer is: none of the above. Couples can get into power struggles over anything. We want what we don’t have and will fight to get it. In this book, Dr. David Hawkins, best-selling author, psychologist, and advice columnist for a Christian website, argues for a paradigm shift that will take your relationship from one built on selfishness to one of sacrificial love. Once we do that, we give up the fight, and change our hearts for the better. Abingdon Press. Coming July 2014. 9781426773853
