Basándose en sus populares conferencias sobre la sanación, cuarenta años de matrimonio y décadas de trabajo clínico como terapeuta, el autor Bob Schuchts presenta su primer recurso para parejas casadas y comprometidas y para aquellos que desean el amor verdadero en sus relaciones. Esta muy esperada guía ofrece sólidas enseñanzas católicas, ricas narraciones y herramientas prácticas para la sanación, junto con conocimientos psicológicos y experiencia para ayudar a las parejas a crear una relación rica en confianza, pasión y unidad. La clave para un matrimonio saludable y apasionado es tan simple como fomentar el amor y el afecto genuinos, o la devoción, según Schuchts, del Centro de Sanación Juan Pablo II, terapeuta de parejas jubilados y experto en la sanación. La verdadera devoción solo se desarrolla cuando ambos cónyuges asumen la responsabilidad de sus acciones y de sus heridas emocionales, algo que cada uno de nosotros aporta a todas nuestras relaciones. Estas heridas, que a menudo tienen sus raíces en la niñez y en relaciones pasadas, existen en todos nosotros hasta cierto punto, lo que hace difícil que las parejas cultiven la amistad, resuelvan conflictos y generen la confianza. Basándose en las riquezas de la Teología del Cuerpo de san Juan Pablo II, Sé devoto es una guía esencial para sanar estas heridas dentro de tu matrimonio, y proporciona herramientas prácticas para cultivar la unidad. La primera parte del libro se enfoca en construir la intimidad, la unidad y la comunión, y la segunda parte ofrece sabiduría y guía para restaurar la confianza cuando está dañada. Encontrarás herramientas prácticas para cultivar la intimidad, resolver conflictos y restaurar la pasión sexual. Para ayudarte a involucrarte profundamente y en oración, Sé devoto incluye: Preguntas de reflexión de "Tómate un momento" Guías de oración para parejas Formas prácticas para entender y trabajar a través de conflictos Ejercicios espirituales para sanar heridas pasadas Apéndices con ejercicios de oración extendidos y recursos.

Tonight's the night, you think.You nestle in next to your sweetheart as he watches television. "Hey, honey, the kids are asleep," you whisper. "What do you say we go upstairs and mess around?""Not tonight," he says, not looking your way.Your shoulders tense as you sense this night ending as so many others have before."Come on, babe," you press on. "We haven't had sex in a while. I promise you'll enjoy it.""I don't feel like it. I just want to watch my show."And there it hangs. Rejection. Again.Why doesn't he want me? you wonder. What's wrong with me? And the tears come, as they have so many times before.If you've experienced this scenario, you are not alone. Despite the myths and stereotypes that suggest otherwise, as many as 30 percent of married women have a higher sex drive than their husbands. Some wives have endured months or even years without any physical intimacy in their marriages.I Want Him to Want Me is written for women who feel neglected or even ignored by their husbands sexually. Whether your relationship is dealing with mental or physical health conditions, porn use, infidelity, or other concerns, this book will help you learn to work together to attain the best sex life possible for both of you.

Have you ever wondered how God sees your marriage and what He would say about it? If you read the Bible carefully, you will discover how God describes a variety of marriages. There's a reason He shares these marriages in detail, including some marriages that are good, some that are dysfunctional, and some that are spiteful. Marriages in the Bible, the sixth offering from Gary H. Lovejoy, Ph.D., reveals God's perspective on biblical marriages so readers may discover the essential ingredients for happy, fulfilling, lasting unions as God intended - and how to identify ways to shipwreck them!Endorsement:Every couple needs to read this book.I've read hundreds of books on marriage, and this is one of the most memorable.Dr Gary Lovejoy reminds us that there is so much to learn from the examples of others. With the wisdom of a Bible student, the curiosity of a college professor, and the compassion of a professional counselor the author guides us through many of the most common challenges that face marriages.Rarely does a book entertain, teach, and challenge. This is such a book. Read it alone, read it with your spouse, read it with a group of other couples! Any way you read it, it will stretch you to make your marriage everything God wants it to be -- a marriage where you love, protect, honor, forgive, sacrifice for, and enjoy your spouse.Dr Lovejoy doesn't provide easy or simple steps to a happy marriage. He does something much better. He shows us time-tested principles from 17 real couples in the Bible. He brings these couples to life in such a vivid and practical way that we realize the struggles couples had thousands of years ago are no different than those we face today. From their examples we learn how to rise above our struggles to a place where God's love and grace can truly shine through us. This book is not just about marriage, it's about being faithful follower of the one who made marriage. It's about being the best and most healthy person you can be.Thank you, Dr Lovejoy, for showing us how relevant and practical God's Word is in the midst of this world's hardest challenges.¿Steve Stephens, PhD, Happy Valley, ORPresident of EveryMarriageMatters and author of Marriage: Experience the Best; 20 Rules and Tools for a Great Marriage; Blueprints for a Solid Marriage; Lost in Translation.About the Author:Gary H.

Two seniors over the age of sixty built their forever home from scratch during the COVID-19 pandemic. This book compares their experiences in a very unstable time with the phases of marriage. Some people venture into an experience with wide eyes, emotional highs, and a can-do attitude. Without guidance and spiritual wisdom, being on the top of the mountain may be short-lived. When we built our new house, we relied on each other. A solid marriage and building a home require planning, research, implementation, compromise, respect, love, and lots of prayers. Before saying, "I do," it helps to know what a relationship with complete commitment requires. Years of marriage, remodeling, and learning the dos and don'ts led us to this realization. Without a relationship with God, everything is futile.

Gennem nøglehulletser hun alt“Velkommen til familien,” siger Nina Winchester og rækker en elegant, perfekt plejet hånd frem mod mig. Jeg smiler høfligt, mens jeg ser mig omkring fra midt på marmorgulvet i entréen. Det her job er min sidste chance for at få en frisk start. Jeg kan være lige, hvem jeg vil. Men snart går det op for mig, at Winchester-familiens hemmeligheder er langt farligere end mine egne …Hver dag gør jeg rent i det smukke Winchester-hjem, fra gulv til loft. Jeg henter familiens datter fra skole. Og jeg forbereder et lækkert aftensmåltid for hele familien, før jeg går op på mit lillebitte kammer på øverste etage for at spise for mig selv.Jeg prøver at ignorere, at Nina roder, bare for bagefter at kunne nyde at se mig rydde op efter sig. At hun fortæller mærkelige løgnehistorier om sin egen datter. Eller at Andrew, hendes mand, ser mere og mere nedslidt ud for hver dag, der går. Men når jeg ser ind i Andrews flotte brune øjne, som er så fulde af smerte, så er det svært ikke at forestille sig, hvordan det ville være at leve Ninas liv – med walk-in-klædeskabet, den smarte bil og den perfekte mand.Kun én gang prøver jeg en af Ninas sarte, hvide kjoler. Bare for at mærke, hvordan den føles. Men det finder hun snart ud af … og da det går op for mig, at døren til mit loftsværelse kun kan låses udefra, er det allerede for sent.Én ting kan jeg dog trøste mig med; Winchester-familien ved ikke, hvem jeg i virkeligheden er.De ved ikke, hvad jeg er i stand til …Forfatteren Freida McFadden har ligget nummer et på bestsellerlisterne hos New York Times, USA Today og Amazon.

In modern times, the phrase "till death do us part" transcends its religious origins and is now often included in wedding vows as a customary expression of commitment and endurance in marriages. Many couples, regardless of their religious beliefs or practices, choose to include this phrase in their wedding ceremonies as a symbol of their intent to maintain a lifelong commitment to one another. The inclusion of this phrase can also serve as a reminder of the seriousness, and depth, of the commitment being made; even when divorce is legally recognized as an option. It is also important to note that though the inclusion of the phrase "till death do us part" in wedding ceremonies does not necessarily reflect a strict adherence to the religious beliefs or doctrines associated with it, it does, however, represent a deeper commitment/dedication to the lifelong union between two individuals. The biblical principle of "until death do us part" emphasizes the solemnity and permanence of the marital bond. Couples may express their intention to remain faithful and committed to one another throughout their lives, regardless of the challenges and obstacles they may face. The phrase signifies a promise to uphold the marriage covenant until death separates them. It reflects the understanding that marriage is a sacred and enduring bond that requires love, sacrifice, and ongoing dedication. This book guides couples in their keeping of those sacred vows through enlightened direction stemming from years of marriage conferences - filled and led with God's wisdom. The reader will receive counsel in everything from recognizing who they are and what they will be bringing to the union; building a marriage after the ceremony; the significance of communication; and the sacrifices needed to be made in order to maintain and grow a healthy marital relationship.

For years I wondered what was the still voice I heard in my head, it was always peaceful. But, yet the noise of daily busy life would overpower the peaceful voice. Quickly my brain would become full of chaos and on with the day I would go. Well at some point that quiet still voice decided to speak louder, and I decided to listen, sadly it wasn't until I was in the heat of the battle. Many times we think we know the right thing to do and never know where that decision might lead us. Proverbs 3:5-6 says Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight. I am here to tell you that it does not matter when you make the decision to trust in the LORD, he will be there. Clarice Young was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and since has moved to Charlotte, North Carolina where she intends to live the rest of her best life. She attended Concordia University in Wisconsin, where she earned her master's in business management and communication and she attended a biblical course every semester of different faiths, which she credits for the seed that was planted to stay in touch with her spiritual side. She has always journalled but was prompted to write a book as she began her search for purpose. She didn't know what the book would be about at first, but as she continued through her journey it formed itself. Clarice was inspired to write and share her spiritual journey in hopes that it will help others understand those nudges that are not always understood and your answers to gut instinct.

"Charlott kikkede fornærmet op og standsede. Hendes musikalske begreb gik ikke uden for dansen, og hendes opfinder ænsede hende ikke mere. Hans øjne havde fået samme glans som vennens.Henne på forhøjningen under det skrå vindue stod den fremmede fru Anita. Hun var kommet til Paris aftenen i forvejen og var i dag, efter en times bekendtskab, hjemmevant mellem alle disse bundfremmede mennesker."Charlott er vant til at være omdrejningspunkt for festerne i det parisiske atelier, hvor kunstnere og musikere mødes for at danse, snakke og nyde livet. En dag er det hele imidlertid anderledes. En dansk maler har taget sin kone, Anita, med, og noget ved hende tiltrækker alle mændenes opmærksomhed. Men hvad vil de med hende, når nu hun er gift? Skal Charlott se hende som en rivalinde? Charlott finder efterhånden ud af, at fru Anitas ægteskab ikke er af den traditionelle slags."Moderne ægteskab" fortæller om kunstnere og andre bohemer i Paris omkring århundredeskiftet. Bogen udkom første gang i 1904.Olga Eggers (1875-1945) var dansk journalist og forfatter. Hun var en markant skikkelse i sin samtid som fremtrædende socialdemokrat og kvindesagsforkæmper. Eggers var optaget af kvinders seksuelle frigørelse og retten til prævention og abort, og hun udfoldede disse emner i flere af sine romaner.I 1933 meldte Eggers sig imidlertid ind i det danske nazistparti og blev i 1945 arresteret af modstandsbevægelsen og døde samme år i Vestre Fængsel.

I romanen "Erotik" fra 1932 beskriver Olga Eggers tre kvinder og deres forskellige skæbner. Vi møder de to søstre Else og Agnes – den ene ulykkeligt gift med en velhavende mand, den anden lykkeligt gift med en fattig mand, som hun har fire børn med – og en tredje kvinde, Beatrice, som er søstrenes ugifte veninde. Sidstnævnte forsørger sig selv uden udsigt til at skulle have børn eller opnå økonomisk tryghed gennem ægteskab. Alle tre kvinder er på hver sin måde underlagt omstændigheder, de ikke selv har indflydelse på. Den ulykkeligt gifte forelsker sig og bryder ud af sit ægteskab, men vrages siden af både sin mand og sin elsker. Den lykkeligt gifte søster bliver gravid igen og ser ingen anden udvej end abort, da de ikke har råd til et femte barn. Men der opstår komplikationer med aborten, og barnet kommer til verden som handicappet. Bogen er på trods af sin titel ikke erotisk anlagt, men er en indigneret kommentar til kvindens ret til fødselskontrol og abort. Den er et opråb til hykleriske og handlingslammede læger, og et råb om hjælp til at forbedre sociale og økonomiske vilkår for arbejderklassefamilierne.Olga Eggers (1875-1945) var dansk journalist og forfatter.

A Day of Change Moves the Heart: Out of It Flow the Issues of Life -Proverbs 4:23 moves the heart.This book, A Day of Changes Moves the Heart, covers love, forgiveness, pain, and the need to prosper all relationship books and yet, the most profound. Each day millions of men and women go online looking for love. Some are genuinely in earnest search while others troll for attention and flattery. Fact is, everyone wants love - we want to be loved and to have someone in our life to love. Love, and the sense of belonging, is an essential part of us that needs to be nurtured and honored. A Day of Change Moves the Heart is about entering into a vow with God to lead us to the right person, the right relationship, and at the right time. This book is about how relationships trust God so that we no longer have to spin and toil in a relationship that could possibly by hurtful, abusive, or demoralizing all the while trying to desperately to make it work if God knows the count of every hair on our head. He knows the right person He has in mind for us to love and to have us love back. God led me out of this relationship and brought me back into His arms again. God was there for me - calling for me, loving me. A Day of Change Moves the Heart is about trusting God to lead us in all ways.

"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"--

Den arbejdsløse akademiker Kristian Jensen søger efter tre forliste ægteskaber og nogle frugtesløse forelskelser en mening med tilværelsen og forsøger gennem en intens og hudløs, flere gange afbrudt og genoptaget, korrespondance med den jævnaldrende jyske billedkunstner Dora at gøre status over sit liv og nå til en afklaring. Sin 50-års fødselsdag fejrer han hos Katja, hans seneste eks, hvor han svines groft til af sin nevøs 23-årige kæreste, der kalder ham mandschauvinist og samfundsnasser. Efter diverse flytninger ender han, for at glæde sin 15-årige datter, i en toværelses lejlighed på Christianshavn, klos op ad ”Christiania”, men savner en kæreste. Dora har flere gange inviteret ham, men han turde ikke. I stedet forsøger han sig med nogle tilfældige kontakter, uden at det fører til noget. Da det bliver forår og sidste hånd er blevet lagt på det store Shakespeare-projekt, skriver Kristian til Dora at han er parat til at besøge hende. Uddrag af bogen Han har lidt nederlag tre gange i sit forhold til kvinder og er rundhåndet blevet frakendt alt, lige fra potens til faderegenskaber, mens omgivelsernes sympati hver eneste gang har samlet sig om den stakkels undertrykte kone, det uskyldige offer for hans mandschauvinistiske dominans, eller hvad den konkrete anklage i hvert enkelt tilfælde er gået ud på. Karen følte sig forsømt. Ingrid frakendte ham evner som far. Og Katja siger nu han spilder hendes tid. Hende der uden at blinke har spildt år af hans liv, men som nu ikke længere har brug for ham fordi Sofus er blevet voksen. Stakkels undertrykte kvinder. Hvis han savner dem, er det ikke deres skyld. Han er blot en trofast sjæl, der har svært ved at kappe båndene til mennesker han har lært at kende. Engang ville han have været en eksemplarisk ægtemand og en ansvarsbevidst far. Nu er han en tyran og en klæber. Et fortidslevn af en mand.Om forfatteren Bjarne Gertz, cand.mag. i engelsk og latin, tidligere amanuensis, kandidatstipendiat, gymnasielærer, bibliotekar, jazzmusiker, m.m., oversætter af Shakespeare og andre elizabethanske sonetdigtere, forfatter til romaner, skuespil, noveller, samt en romanserie om arbejdersønnen Kristian, der bliver akademiker, en personligt fortalt historie om Danmark og danskerne fra besættelsestiden til halvfemserne.
