Gods Design For Marrige
$15.49Add to cartHave you ever asked yourself: What is God’s design for marriage? What is His purpose for the husband-wife relationship? Do I really understand this and am I living it?
According to Dr. D.L. Mitchell, Pastor, Chaplain, Lt. Col. (Retired, USAF): “Mona Tycz has done the heavy lifting of critical study and has offered us the fruit of her labor in her near exhaustive work: God’s Design for Marriage Husband-Wife Relationship! Mona’s past has prepared her to approach difficult subjects with an analytic predisposition causing her to ask and search for meaningful questions while accepting HIS unchangeable answers.
I believe all who read God’s Design for Marriage Husband-Wife Relationship will place it at the forefront of their library and use it time and again as a critical resource in helping and encouraging others!”
This book takes you through an inquiry into God’s design for marriage using the Bible as its source material. The research was tested in numerous conferences with married couples, singles, even high school students, with pastors and their wives, and with ministers and their wives. In this book format, you can choose to study it on your own, with your spouse, or in a small group format. Parents and youth groups can use it as a study to teach youth so they can understand God’s design and purpose of marriage as well as the defiant alternatives mankind has instituted and followed.
Studying this book will enable you to grasp a far greater perspective of marriage than “What’s in it for me?” Imagine understanding marriage in a way that you can perceive the majesty in the marriage structure. This study can alter how married couples perceive themselves and their spouses as well as alter how single people relate to married couples. You will explore how living marriage as God has designed it, provides a window into Christ’s relationship with the Church, and the Church’s relationship with Christ. In addition, it provides a window into seeing the Trinity and how the three Persons of the Trinity relate. Your understanding of marriage will grow as you become aware that marriage is truly sacred, designed by God.
This is not a “how to” book on marriage. Rather this is a study of what the Bible says regarding marriage. It will not offer multiple lists of “how to” as it is intended to open the reader’s perception and regard for marriage. It addresses some difficult issues such as Authority and Submission, removing the deception they -

El pasado de Mona la ha preparado para abordar temas dificiles con una predisposicion analitica llevandola a preguntar y buscar preguntas significativas aceptando SU respuestas inmutables. Yo creo que todo el que lea El Diseo de Dios para el Matrimonio Relacion entre Esposo-Esposa lo colocara a la vanguardia de su biblioteca y lo usara una y otra vez como un recurso fundamental para ayudar y animar a otros!”
Este libro te lleva a traves de una investigacion sobre El Diseo de Dios para el matrimonio usando la biblia como fuente. La investigacion se puso a prueba en numerosas conferencias con parejas casadas, solteras, incluso estudiantes de secundaria, con pastores y sus esposas, y con ministros y sus esposas. En el formato de este libro, puede elegir estudiarlo por su cuenta, con su conyugue, o en grupos pequeos. Los padres y los grupos de jovenes pueden utilizarlo como un estudio para ensear a los jovenes para que puedan entender el diseo de Dios y el proposito del matrimonio y asi tambien la desafiante alternativa que el hombre ha instituido y seguido.
Estudiar este libro le permitira captar una perspectiva mucho mas grande de matrimonio que “Que hay para mi?” Imaginese comprender el matrimonio de una manera que se puede percibir la majestuosidad de la estructura del matrimonio. Este estudio puede alterar como las parejas casadas se perciben a si mismos y sus conyuges, asi como alterar como las personas solteras se refieren a las parejas casadas. Usted explorara como el matrimonio que viven, como Dios lo ha diseado proporciona una ventana a la relacion de Cristo con la Iglesia, y la relacion de la Iglesia con Cristo. Ademas, proporciona una ventana a ver a la Trinidad y como las tres Personas de la Trinidad se relacionan. Su comprension del matrimonio crecera a medida que usted se va dando cuenta de que el matrimonio es verdaderamente sagrado, diseado por Dios.

Secret Language Of Successful Couples
$15.99Add to cartWhy is it so hard for married couples to get in sync with each other? How is it that your mate can be a source of joy and of frustration all on the same day?
Marriages operate by a secret language–a collection of key words, actions, insights, and attitudes that determine how a couple’s relationship works. If that language is uncovered, love grows and flourishes. If that language remains a mystery, love gets buried behind misunderstandings and irritations.
Bill and Pam Farrel, authors of the bestselling Men Are Like Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti, offer biblical and practical insight into this language that God has programmed into each married couple. Laced with the Farrels’ trademark humor, The Secret Language of Successful Couples is packed with ideas to help couples connect at a richer, deeper level. As both partners grow in relationship with God and rely on the Spirit for insights into the heart of their mate, they can replace their old, selfish languages with a new one that leads to greater intimacy in every area of life.

Based on the acclaimed sermon series by New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller, this book shows everyone-Christians, skeptics, singles, longtime married couples, and those about to be engaged-the vision of what marriage should be according to the Bible.Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that your spouse is there to help you realize your potential; that marriage does not mean forever, but merely for now; and that starting over after a divorce is the best solution to seemingly intractable marriage issues. But these modern-day assumptions are wrong. Timothy Keller, with insights from Kathy, his wife of thirty-seven years, shows marriage to be a glorious relationship that is also misunderstood and mysterious. The Meaning of Marriage offers instruction on how to have a successful marriage, and is essential reading for anyone who wants to know God and love more deeply in this life.

50 Fridays Marriage Challenge
$15.99Add to cartTransform your marriage with this revitalizing relationship guide that challenges couples to answer important questions together and grow in mutual understanding.
In our modern, fast-paced society, it is easy for couples to drift apart and suddenly find their marriages in need of serious help. If this sounds familiar, then Pastor Jeff Helton and his wife Lora have a challenge for you: sit down once a week with your spouse to answer a question together. It could be something as simple as “What makes you laugh out loud?” or as deep and challenging as “If you had one day left on earth, what would you say to your spouse?” or “Are you satisfied with our level of physical intimacy?”
The 50 Fridays Marriage Challenge is a fun book specifically designed to spark open and honest conversation between partners at any stage of married life. Each short chapter includes an engaging question, a brief message, an encouraging quote, a Bible scripture, and a prayer. The short messages bring hope to rocky marriages by providing a safe, gentle space for discussing important matters, such as communication, conflict, in-laws, finances, children, sex, and much more.
By taking the 50 Fridays Marriage Challenge, husbands and wives will find that their Friday evening talks-whether they laugh together, delve deep into the topic at hand, or plan and dream for the future-may be the only time they spend in close conversation that doesn’t involve the kids, the checking account, or who took out the trash. Spend a few precious moments together once a week with this book, and you will ultimately see your marriage transformed.

Most of what the Bible has to say about marriage does not come flagged up under a heading of “marriage”. It’s not just the famous “marriage passages” that shape a gospel-centred marriage, but the whole Bible-story of God’s good creation, humanity’s wicked rebellion and God’s gracious redemption.To understand why marriages struggle-as they all do-we need to understand the nature of our sin. To make marriages work, we need to understand how to apply the truth about God and His salvation.
This study guide on Christian marriage focuses on how the Gospel shapes the practical realities of everyday life. Author Tim Chester lifts the lid on many of the common pressure points that modern couples face, and shows how a proper understanding of the Gospel can shape a response.

Why Naked Women Look So Good
$12.95Add to cart“The magnetism a man feels when he sees a woman’s body, that sensual urge, the surge of adrenaline, dopamine, and endorphins, isn’t only given for a man’s gratification, but to be channeled by a man to love his wife. In this ground-breaking book, Bill Perkins identifies eight reasons why men are attracted to a woman’s beauty. But he goes much further. Each answer to the question, why do naked women look so good, also reveals a woman’s fundamental need and helps a man know how to meet that need. By identifying eight vital needs of a woman, and showing a husband how to meet them, Perkins provides guidance to help a man become irresistible to his wife and for living more creatively and sensitively. Chapters are organized into three parts for easy reference. The first part provides one reason why naked women look so good. The second part identifies what need this reveals in a man’s wife. And in the third part, simple steps are provided to help a man love his wife in a way that strengthens her self-image, builds her confidence and allows her to more freely give herself to her husband-both emotionally and sexually.”

Fight Your Way To A Better Marriage
$17.99Add to cartBased on years of counseling, research, and success stories, Dr. Greg Smalley teaches us how to use marital conflict as a way to deepen and strengthen our relationships.
Every married couple fights. But how you and your spouse deal with hot-button issues speaks volumes about the health of your marriage. Dr. Greg Smalley explains how conflict can provide an opportunity to break old, ineffective patterns and lead to greater trust (and intimacy) once you get to the other side. It can also reduce tension as emotions are vented and stress is released.
Smalley teaches that conflict is driven mostly by fear-the fear of being disrespected or taken for granted, the fear of powerlessness, and the fear of rejection or inadequacy. What can assuage these fears, he says, are intimacy, respect, validation, love, and connection. If conflict is poorly managed, issues can explode like a massive volcano, leaving spouses and family members in its wake of destruction.
Written with a candid and inspirational approach, Fight Your Way to a Better Marriage will give you all the practical answers, tips, exercises, and inspirational stories you need to have a fulfilling, happy, trusting, and intimate relationship.

Marriage Builder : Creating True Oneness To Transform Your Marriage
$18.99Add to cartBestselling author Larry Crabb cuts to the heart of the biblical view of marriage: the ‘one-flesh’ relationship. He argues convincingly that the deepest needs of human personality—security and significance—ultimately cannot be satisfied by a marriage partner. We need to turn to the Lord, rather than our spouse, to satisfy our needs. This frees both partners for ‘soul oneness,’ a commitment to minister to our spouse’s needs rather than manipulating them to meet our own needs. With ‘soul oneness’ comes renewed ‘body oneness,’ where couples enjoy sexual pleasure as an expression and outgrowth of a personal relationship.
The Marriage Builder also identifies three building blocks essential to constructing marriage: the grace of God, true marriage commitment, and acceptance of one’s mate. Discussion questions are included to aid couples who want to dig into it and apply the principles to their own lives and marriages. The Marriage Builder is for anyone who longs to transform marriage from trial to triumph.

Love Sex And Marriage
$28.99Add to cartIn all three Abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, marriage is part of God’s plan for humanity, as illustrated in the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, and the Koran as well as the religious literature of these three traditions. It is viewed as a sacred bond as well as a means to personal fulfilment. It is more than a legal contract, rather an institution with cosmic significance, legitimized through divine authority. In Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the purpose of marriage is to build a home, create a family and thereby perpetuate society. Yet, despite the similarity of perception in the great monotheistic faiths, there are important differences. In this book three scholars outline sex law, betrothal and marriage, family life and the understanding of divorce in these traditions and discuss the differences between them in a student-friendly and accessible way.

I Do What
$11.95Add to cartDennis Fulton has served in local church ministries for sixty years. He served the Chapel Rock Christian Church in Indianapolis, Indiana, when the megachurch movement was in its infancy in Christian churches and Churches of Christ. After a two-year hiatus for renewal and restoration, Dennis was returned to local ministries. During all of his ministry, however, his interest in world missions found him preaching or teaching in twelve different nations, with an extended stay “down under.” While in Australia, he completed the manuscript for this book. Over his lengthy ministry, there have been over five hundred couples who have stood before him to declare “I do.” Among those have been his five children and, to this date, four of his grandchildren. It has been at the insistence or encouragement of them that this book has become a reality. They think it is important for others to know what it means when they say: FOR BETTER, FOR WORSE. Surely marriage will bring those things that are better. But just as surely, there will be those things that are worse. How much worse? Is it ever worse enough to throw in the towel? FOR RICHER, FOR POORER. Two family backgrounds are coming together in a marriage. One family grabs that dollar bill and squeezes George Washington to death on the way to the bank. The other may run to Dairy Queen and lick the life out of old George. What should be done in a marriage to merge these money matters? SICKNESS AND HEALTH. Some couples have found the stress of preparation for a wedding, the ceremony, the reception, and even the honeymoon leaving them exhausted and near sickness. There are, however, those big words like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and chronic diabetes that could be future tests of this part of the vow. What if? A good understanding of what is contained in that “I do” can help many couples toward the goal of a “they all lived happily ever after” marriage.

Real Marriage : The Truth About Sex Friendship And Life Together
$19.99Add to cartMost marriage books assume the author did it right. Most marriage books barely mention friendship. Most marriage books use “intimacy” as code for “sex.” This is not one of those books.

And they know from experience that sex-related issues need to be addressed directly.

Should I confess my pre-marital sexual sin to my spouse?
Is it okay to have a “work spouse”?
What does the Bible say about masturbation and oral sex?
Stunningly honest and vulnerable, Real Marriage is like a personal counseling session with a couple you cannot surprise, you cannot shock into silence, who will respond to every question with wisdom, humility, and realism.If you want to have a long-lasting, fulfilling marriage you should read this book.

Beyond Ordinary : When A Good Marriage Just Isnt Good Enough
$17.99Add to cartHow safe is your marriage? The answer may surprise you. The biggest threat to any marriage isn’t infidelity or miscommunication. The greatest enemy is ordinary. Ordinary marriages lose hope. Ordinary marriages lack vision. Ordinary marriages give in to compromise. Ordinary is the belief that this is as good as it will ever get. And when we begin to settle for ordinary, it’s easy to move from “I do” to “I’m done.”Justin and Trisha Davis know just how dangerous ordinary can be. In this beautifully written book, Justin and Trisha take us inside the slow fade that occurred in their own marriage-each telling the story from their own perspective. Together, they reveal the mistakes they made, the work they avoided, the thoughts and feelings that led to an affair and near divorce, and finally, the heart-change that had to occur in both of them before they could experience the hope, healing, and restoration of a truly extraordinary marriage.

This Momentary Marriage
$17.99Add to cartThe chasm between the biblical vision of marriage and the common human conception is-and has always been-gargantuan. Reflecting on over forty years of matrimony, John Piper exalts the biblical meaning of marriage over its emotion, exhorting couples to keep their covenant as a display of Christ’s covenant-keeping love for the church. He aims to lift the church’s low view of marriage to something infinitely greater, namely, a vision of Jesus’s unswerving allegiance to and affection for his bride. This Momentary Marriage unpacks the biblical vision, its unexpected contours, and its weighty implications for married, single, divorced, and remarried alike. Now available in paperback with a freshly redesigned cover, Piper’s book on marriage holds even greater appeal.

4 Seasons Of Marriage
$15.99Add to cartSpring, summer, winter, fall. Marriages are perpetually in a state of transition, continually moving from one season to another-perhaps not annually, as in nature, but just as certainly and consistently. Sometimes we find ourselves in winter-discouraged, detached, and dissatisfied; other times, we experience springtime with its openness, hope, and anticipation. On other occasions, we bask in the warmth of summer-comfortable, relaxed, enjoying life. And then comes fall with its uncertainty, negligence, and apprehension. The cycle repeats itself many times throughout the life of a marriage, just as the seasons repeat themselves in nature.
The seasons of marriage come and go. Each one holds the potential for emotional health and happiness, and each one has its challenges. The purpose of this book is to describe these recurring seasons of marriage, help you and your spouse identify which season your marriage is in, and show you how to enhance your marriage in all four seasons.

Living Together : Myths Risks And Answers
$16.99Add to cartIS LIVING TOGETHER THE ANSWER?
Since the late 1960s, the number of couples living together before marriage has increased significantly, as this phenomenon was thought to be the answer to obtaining a successful marriage. The theory that couples could “practice” seemed a perfect solution to an increasingly higher divorce rate. “After all,” many argued, “if we live together first, we will really know if we’re compatible.”Mike and Harriet McManus, co-founders of the Marriage Savers(R) organization, argue in this important book that theory and reality are often not the same. They take a fundamental position that one can not practice permanence, and unless a marriage is established as permanent, a couple will not approach it the same way. This significant finding has come from the McManuses’ fifteen years of studying marriage and divorce and their desire to help couples build strong marriages that last a lifetime.
In the pages of this book, you will discover that the divorce rate is actually higher among couples who live together before marriage, as well as important principles that really do give couples the necessary tools for a successful marriage.
Consider this book an investment in yours or someone else’s marriage. Whether you are a counselor seeking to help others in their marriage, a parent helping a child as he or she is contemplating living with someone, a pastor who needs a reliable tool to help couples in his ministry, or a person considering living with someone yourself, “this book is for you!”
