Discover the single greatest secret to a successful marriage. Researchers and counselors affirm it, and the Bible has been saying it for ages. Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks-and that hundreds of thousands of couples are just beginning to find through Dr. Emerson Eggerich's groundbreaking bestseller. Today, you and your mate can start fresh with the dynamic guidance that Dr. Eggerichs provides in this interactive guide. His revolutionary message, featured on Focus on the Family, is for anyone: in marital crisis, wanting to stay happily married, engaged couples, victims of affairs, and counselors seeking material that can save a marriage.

Too many marriages end when someone says “I’ve fallen out of love with you” or “I don’t love you anymore.” In reality, such statements reveal a lack of understanding about the fundamental nature of true love.

The Love Dare, as featured in the new movie Fireproof (starring Kirk Cameron and from the team that brought us the #1 best selling DVD Facing the Giants), is a forty-day guided devotional experience that will lead your heart back to truly loving your spouse while learning more about the design, nature, and source of true love.

Each day’s entry discusses a unique aspect of love, presents a specific “dare” to do for your spouse (some will be very easy, others very challenging), and gives you a journaling area to chart the progress that you will be making.

It's time to learn the keys to finding true intimacy and developing a dynamic marriage. Take the dare!

Sex in the service of God

The ‘way of a man with a maiden’ was too wonderful for the writer of Proverbs to understand. Preoccupying so many thoughts and dreams, the subject of countless songs, films and fairy tales, the love between a man and a woman has always been a profound and perplexing mystery.

And yet we do not live happily ever after. Four out of ten marriages will end in divorce. Couples now choose to live together rather than marry, and those relationships are even less likely to last. People are having fewer children, later, and with a succession of partners. Ironically, just when so much is expected of love, Western societies are witnessing lower levels of public commitment in sexual relationships than ever before. The scale of this change amounts to a revolution, a major historical paradigm shift.

The statistics mask a depth of pain that every pastor and counsellor knows only too well.

We must face the inevitable questions: if faithfulness is no longer esteemed, why get married at all? What is marriage? What did God intend when he gave us marriage?

Christopher Ash argues that our modern idolization of the sexual relationship contains within itself the seeds of its own destruction. To begin to rebuild a biblical confidence in marriage, we need to understand that the primary blessing and purpose of marriage is not sexual intimacy, but rather serving God in partnership. This in turn leads to the blessings of love, friendship, children, and order in society, and will help us to rediscover that faithfulness which is the heart of marriage.

Making your marriage the best it can be

It seems rather obvious to look to our Maker for marriage instructions. After all, God invented marriage. Yet by nature we prefer to work it out for ourselves, starting with our own needs, hopes and desires.

This book turns our thinking upside down. The author examines the Bible’s teaching on marriage, while remaining firmly earthed in the twenty-first-century world where messing up, heartbreak, divorce and sexual chaos are distressingly common. Starting with God’s grace applied to our pain and failure, the author centres on God’s plan for sex and marriage, one of service.

Sex and relationships God's way

‘Dear friends, you are foreigners and strangers on this earth. So I beg you not to surrender to those desires that fight against you. Always let others see you behaving properly, even though they may still accuse you of doing wrong. Then on the day of judgment, they will honour God by telling the good things they saw you do.’
1 Peter 2:11–12

‘Old habits die hard. We can be painfully aware of hypocrisy and failure, and tempted to give up. Yet the truth is that we have a new identity and a new destiny. At the heart of this identity is the call to purity. Pure will challenge you to lead a distinctive life. It will help you to avoid compromise, and make you excited about the opportunities and the adventure of a life well lived.’

Nigel Pollock, Director, Tertiary Students Christian Fellowship, New Zealand, in the foreword

Questions single ask... Answers single give...

In a congregation where everyone else seems to be half of a happy couple, are you sitting alone while your husband stays home?

'I said I was sorry!' In The Five Languages of Apology' you will learn how to recognize your own primary apology language while speaking the languages of those you love.

By helping people identify the languages of apology, this book clears the way toward healing and sustaining vital relationships.
Just as you have a different love language, you also hear and express the words and gestures of apology in a different language.

New York Times best-selling author Gary Chapman has teamed with counsellor Jennifer Thomas on this groundbreaking study of the way we apologize, discovering that it's not just a matter of will - it's a matter of how. The authors detail proven techniques for giving and receiving effective apologies.

Whether you are young or old, widowed, divorced, separated or never married, these proven principles of communicating and receiving unconditional love can apply in all your relationships, including friends, co-workers, classmates etc.

The Five Love Languages core message focuses on humanity's deepest emotional need: the need to 'feel' loved. This need is felt by married and singles alike.
Dr. Chapman now tackles the unique circumstances that singles face, and integrates how the same five love languages apply in their relationships. Married or single, young or old, every human has the emotional need to feel loved. When this need is met we move out to reach our potential for God and good in the world.
However when we feel unloved, we struggle simply to survive. Over the ten years since Gary Chapman wrote The Five Love Languages, countless people have been touched by its message, a message about humanity's deepest need: the need to feel loved. In this new book Chapman now turns his attention to the unique circumstances that single people face and integrates how the same five love languages apply in their relationships.

We all know that the Greatest Commandment is to love. In this audio Gary Chapman clearly identifies the primary love languages of women and teaches us how to use these languages to express our love. This volume will help you express your unconditional love in a more powerful way.
