		Talking with Respect and Love Book 5 of Marriage by the Book Interactive, Bible-based Christian marriage help. Advice for individuals, couples, small groups, cell groups and adult Sunday school classes Order this book Couples voice hundreds of frustrations about their communication, listening and problem-solving patterns. That includes Christian couples. Either someone talks too much or too little. Problem-solving turns into arguments. There is never enough time to talk. Listening is a lost art. Do any of the following statements sound familiar? (Although some refer to the husband and some to the wife, each could be applied to either spouse.)         My husband doesn't talk. He just grunts.         It turns into an argument every time we talk.         My wife never stops talking. I don't have a chance to say anything.         We only talk about superficial things. I yearn for a meaningful conversation.         Our house is like a morgue. The silence is awful.         It turns into an argument every time we talk.         My husband says "I don't care" when I ask his opinion.         I never get her full attention. She’s always doing things while we talk.         We only talk about problems. Who needs that? Isn't life supposed to be fun? If these sound familiar, don't be discouraged. Doug Britton goes directly to the Bible to dig out its ancient wisdom and apply it to the issues couples face today. As you learn and practice what God says about communicating in this biblical book, Jesus will make dramatic changes in your marriage. In these pages, you will discover:       >   How to replace silence with words that matter       >   The secret of talking about anything without arguing or fighting       >   What to do if you are talking too much       >   What to do if you aren't talking enough       >   How to get conversations going ... courteously       >   Secrets of effective listening       >   Secrets of effective speaking       >   How to avoid interrupting, belittling and misinterpreting       >   Ways to bring up problems without wounding your spouse This book is written for Christians and others with communication problems and also for those who already communicate well. Whatever your patterns, you will discover tools to make your conversations more effective -- and your marriage more intimate and satisfying. This book is perfect for a six-week study by an individual, a couple, a small group or a church class. It can be studied alone, or as part of an ongoing study using all eight books in Marriage by the Book. If you study in a group, the Group Leaders' Guide is a helpful resource. Each chapter is interactive, with personal application questions scattered throughout to help you put its biblical advice into practice. The book is comprehensive and detailed, yet easy to use and practical. Testimonials "‘Talking with Respect and Love’ has been very, very helpful. We like the spiritual aspects of it; the biblical verses in every chapter hit home for our group. ‘Putting it all together’ at the end of the chapters helped couples make concrete plans. It’s just been great for everyone—newly-married couples, people who have been married before, and couples who have been married many years." — Vern and Carol Hagedorn, Small Group Members     Bethesda Lutheran Church, Hot Springs, South Dakota "My pastor asked me to find the best marriage material for our small group marriage ministry. I liked ‘Marriage by the Book’ the most of every resource I reviewed. It is biblically based and practical, reminding you of the simple things you don’t think of every day (such as praying together daily as a couple). Our group has seen really positive results from applying these biblical truths." — Jeremy and Danielle Milligan, Small Group Leaders     Baptist Temple Church, Reidsville, North Carolina "Doug's books have been used in an incredible way in our church. Plus, they have made a big difference in my own marriage, family life and personal walk. I use them in teaching and preaching, and have made them available to my children. — Rick Cole, Senior Pastor     Capital Christian Center, Sacramento, California Click here to read more testimonials.
