Drawing from many years of experience as a licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. David Hawkins shows that complex relational problems usually spring from nine destructive habits couples fall into, and he offers practical suggestions for changing the way husbands and wives relate to each other. Thoroughly scriptural and eminently up-to-date, this handbook for healthy relationships gently but clearly shows how to: address problems but avoid emotional explosions; learn from mistakes; create healthy boundaries; establish an atmosphere of humility and forgiveness; and, stop battling and begin championing one another. Married men and women, pastors, and counselors will find helpful insights into the challenges all marriages face as well as the strategies for breakthroughs.
