A loving marriage begins in your heart
Couples who remarry are full of the same promise and possibility as those who are marrying for the first time--but they also face unique challenges that must be overcome.The Heart of Remarriage goes straight to the heart of these problems and guides you to a fulfilling, lasting marriage that is a haven of grace and security.
Relationships experts Gary and Greg Smalley invite you to embrace a revolutionary idea: No matter what circumstances you face with your spouse and family, the solution begins in your heart. Emotional wounds and walls of self-protection are the enemies of loving intimacy--but you can heal from the hurts of the past, be filled with God's love, and let that love overflow to your whole family. This process begins when you examine your heart.
Each chapter of The Heart of Remarriage includes these tools to help:
- Heart Monitors: Questions to ask yourself, your spouse, and other members of your family
- Heart Protectors: Questions to promote dialogue with your spouse, so that you can prepare for the "heart attacks" you may face
- Heart Healers: Actions that can be taken to heal your heart after conflict or from past emotional wounds
You'll also find practical ideas for connecting your heart with your spouse, your children, and your stepchildren, as well as tips for creating emotional security for every family member.
Open Your heart! That's where the marriage of your dreams begins.
