Book Synopsis Lessons of Lifelong Intimacy by : Michael Gurian
Download or read book Lessons of Lifelong Intimacy written by Michael Gurian and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Michael Gurian comes a groundbreaking plan for happiness in love and marriage that shows you how to build healthy boundaries, work through past hurts, and create greater intimacy by maintaining emotional separateness. Become separate from your partner yet also become closer—sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? With twenty-five years of family and marital counseling practice, Michael Gurian shows that “intimate separateness” is the key to creating a healthy partnership in life. Recent university studies show that the most frequent reason relationships dissolve is not abuse, alcoholism, money, or even infidelity, but rather a lack of emotional fulfillment. Most books on love and marriage focus on teaching communication and conflict skills, but neglect to help couples with the “other half” of intimacy—separateness. In this practical yet personal guide to love, Gurian details the benefits of creating a lifelong balance of closeness and separateness. He outlines a twelve-stage model created for his own private practice, which provides long-term goals and focal points for dialogue that can help couples work through arguments. Gurian also delves into differences in white and gray matter between the male and female brain (which may explain the varying needs for intimacy and separateness), differences in verbal and emotive development, and the effects these all have on relationships. Rich with examples and case studies, this book presents strategies for communication and conflict that build more emotional balance, while showing how intimate separateness can be the key to lifelong happiness.

From award-winning marriage researcher and bestselling author Dr. John Gottman and fellow researcher Julie Gottman, Eight Dates offers an ingenious and simple-to-implement approach to effective relationship communication. Here are the subjects that every serious couple should discuss: Trust. Family. Sex and intimacy. Dealing with conflict. Work and money. Dreams, and more. And here is how to talk about them—how to broach subjects that are difficult or embarrassing, how to be brave enough to say what you really feel. There are also suggestions for where and when to go on each date—book your favorite romantic restaurant for the Sex & Intimacy conversation (and maybe go to a yoga or dance class beforehand). There are questionnaires, innovative exercises, real-life case studies, and skills to master, including the Four Skills of Intimate Conversation and the Art of Listening.

Book Synopsis The God of Intimacy and Action by : Mary Albert Darling
Download or read book The God of Intimacy and Action written by Mary Albert Darling and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed evangelical speaker and writer Tony Campolo teams up with spiritual director and teacher Mary Albert Darling to reveal some gems from the liturgical Christian tradition to Protestants who may be ready for a refreshing change. While steeped in their own evangelical tradition, the authors are not afraid to venture back into Christian history and reclaim practices that have long been considered exclusively Catholic--including Centering Prayer, along with works by Ignatius Loyola and Catherine of Siena--as excellent spiritual tools to help evangelicals grow in faith and love for the poor. A vital theme in Campolo and Darling's work is that spirituality is not solely an individualistic practice but must lead Christians to love and help the oppressed. True Christian mysticism, they posit, is not an either/or proposition. That's because the nexus between evangelism and justice is to be found in Christian mysticism.

Book excerpt: This book is the story of one man's sexual journey from boyhood to manhood and the valuable lessons learned about intimacy and sexuality with and without guidance and spiritual influence. Through his lived experiences Pastor Belton emphasizes the need for men to be role models and mentors in order to teach young boys and men how to navigate relationships that can endure difficult moments. Pastor Belton relates his own struggles as a young man learning messages from the streets about love and relationships that opened the door to struggles in his own life until the value of marriage and relationship became a spiritual concept of intimacy the way God intended it to be. Pastor Belton wants to teach young men how to look at women as a vessel of honor to be loved and not objects of passion to be abused. His own journey toward intimacy without intercourse promises to be thought provoking as well as enlightening to all who read and take the journey with him.
