The Wholehearted Wife
Although it takes two to have a great marriage, an important truth for any marriage partner to realize is that he or she can really change no one other than him or herself. Nevertheless, changes in just one person can have an amazing impact on a marriage relationship! Instead of focusing on “How do I have a better marriage?” this book embraces that truth, and helps women ponder the question, “How can I be the best wife I can be?” It provides every woman with skills, information, and encouragement to make a positive difference to this and future generations, by wholeheartedly investing in her marriage and her relationship with her husband today. The Wholehearted Wife is written by Erin and Greg Smalley, along with Gary Smalley, the creator and presenter of Keys to a Loving Relationship, one of the best-selling video series of all time. Recognizing that most if not all married women have either experienced a time when her marriage felt lifeless—or sat with another female friend or family member who was experiencing that situation—this book is also a wonderful resource for those times.
Bound by Honor
Based on the premise that anger is the greatest wedge that can drive families apart, "Bound by Honor" reveals what works and what doesn't. This book has been designed to give the parents of teenagers and anyone working with teens the tools to reinforce honor instead of anger.
The DNA of Relationships
“Life is relationships; the rest is just details.” We are designed for relationships, yet they often bring us pain. In this paradigm-shifting book, Gary Smalley unravels the DNA of relationships: we are made for three great relationships—with God, others, and ourselves—and all relationships involve choice. Gary exposes a destructive relationship dance that characterizes nearly every relationship conflict, and he offers five new dance steps that will revolutionize relationships. The DNA of Relationships, the cornerstone book in Gary Smalley's relationship campaign, will revolutionize your marriage, family, friendships, and work relationships.
Winning Your Husband Back Before It's Too Late
Full of practical advice and realistic encouragement, "Winning Your Husband Back" can help heal a marriage. And whether the marriage is healed or not, the ideas will also draw readers nearer to God.
The Wholehearted Marriage
The Wholehearted Marriage offers practical tools for helping couples keep a passionate connection with one another and understand the role their hearts play in their lives. Drs. Smalley and Stoever maintain that circumstances, such as busy lifestyles, differences between spouses, personal baggage, the loss of a loved one, childhood trauma, etc., trigger reactions that condition us to close up our hearts for protection, blocking the flow of love. A disengaged, protected heart makes it impossible to experience an intimate, connected marriage. As a result, couples drift apart, trying to find some version of contentment, or they give up altogether and look for love somewhere else. Through their experiences in marriage counseling, Drs. Smalley and Stoever discovered that the commonly heard phrase "I don't love him/her anymore" is merely a camouflaged misunderstanding about what true love is and God's design for it. They affirm that love is more than just a feeling, and that to have true, lasting intimacy, couples need to learn to love wholeheartedly.
The Heart of Remarriage
Too often, couples enter remarriage unaware of potential problems and unprepared for the challenges stepfamily life will bring. The Heart of Remarriage takes a unique approach to success in remarriage by going straight to the heart, helping couples heal from the inside out rather than offering surface suggestions that may change circumstances but not the lives of couples and their families. Drs. Gary and Greg Smalley partner with remarried couple Dan and Marci Cretsinger to offer this marriage-changing idea: No matter what circumstances or challenges a remarried couple and their stepfamily face, the solution starts in their hearts. Remarried couples will learn how to examine their own hearts and heal them from the hurts of the past, so that they can be filled with God's love and let that love overflow to their family members. The Heart of Remarriage teaches readers how to create emotional security for every family member and offers practical ideas for connecting at the heart level with their spouse, children, and stepchildren. Couples will be encouraged to keep their hearts open and challenged to leave a family legacy of love.
Summary of Greg Smalley & Erin Smalley's Ready to Wed
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 God is the creator of marriage. Listen to how Eugene Peterson, author of The Message, paraphrases this truth: God, not you, made marriage. His Spirit inhabits even the smallest details of marriage. And what does he want from marriage. Children of God, that’s what. #2 The purpose of marriage is to create a loving relationship between a man and a woman. If you don’t first understand how something is supposed to work, you might misuse it and end up frustrated or worse. #3 If you don’t know how something works or what it’s for, you’ll end up either making a fool of yourself or misusing it and potentially causing frustration and heartache. We want to help you understand how marriage is supposed to work and what God’s true purpose for marriage is so you can avoid making some devastating mistakes. #4 The purpose of marriage is to help us become like Christ. If you miss out on this understanding, your marriage will be destined for pain and frustration. But if you get it, especially now as you prepare to walk down the aisle, you’ll be far ahead of the rest of the pack.
