Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow. It requires faith. The mortal body would soon be emaciated and die if there were not frequent feedings.
The tender flower would wither and die without food and water. And so love, also, cannot be expected to last forever unless it is continually fed with portions of love, the manifestation of esteem and admiration, the expressions of gratitude, and the consideration of unselfishness. Kimball "The most important meeting of the week is sacrament meeting, and the second most important is date night.
I do believe it is very important that you put first on your calendar, after sacrament meeting, time together as husband and wife. Tom Perry "Forgiveness is the process of turning our heartache's over to God and letting Him take care of them. Anyone who has a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ is willing to give his all to the kingdom, but in the process of that kind of dedicated service, it is important that we do not ignore what Jesus called "the things of most worth Lee "Marriage is an eternal partnership where husband and wife are sealed together in the holy temple of God as eternal best friends.
Hunter "The greater our own personal substance is and the deeper our own mental, emotional, and spiritual reserves are, the greater will be our capacity to nurture and love others, especially our companion. I like this book because it was about how to improve your marriage in all areas, emotionally, spiritually, sexually, and it had some good reminders. Like to date, and hold hands, and do nice things for each other. Things we slack on after 8 years of marriage!
The downside was the book was so redundant. It could have been half the size. I actually skipped the last couple of chapters teaching future generations. Just got "so over it. I think I'll purchase this one to refer back to and to read about how to teach children about sex when we get to that point.
I didn't even read the whole book, but I really disliked it. Maybe it just put me off that the lady who has no real expertise as far as I'm concerned suggests that you have a sexual obligation to your spouse meaning, to keep your spouse sexually fulfilled to keep them chaste.
I just don't agree with that, and don't want to read a book by anyone who suggest such non-sense. Praticial from about ch. Author is well-read, informed - but she needed a good editor: her writing is too lengthy. Still recommend it to engaged couples and anyone wanting fulfillment not just physically in their most important relationship.
I was looking for a book they would guide me in being proactive about my children's sex education and a friend recommended this to me. It turns out that there is two chapters on teaching children and the rest is about teaching yourself. It is by an LDS author, but would be fine for anyone, though she does assume in the first chapters that the reader is christian and familiar with scriptures. Much of the book help women to overcome the "good girl syndrome" which is overlooking all the no's we've been taught about sexual relationships before marriage and then all of a sudden being free to say yes and feeling good about ourselves and our spouses doing so.
This book has helped me have a more healthy perspective and understanding of what a sexual relationship should be and how imperative good communication is in a relationship. Sarah Chapman. This book changed my LIFE! Where have you been for 8. I needed you in August ! I will be forever grateful for you and your knowledge and now I will have a fresh new start at my sexual relationship with my husband.
I am sure he will be grateful too! Karen P. I started reading this with someone else's situation in mind, and thinking this might be a good book to refer to her.
By just the third chapter I called and told her she just HAD to get this book. What makes this book different is the author is a LDS woman, and she explains that she experienced an aversion to intimacy for the first 10 or so years of her marriage. Then she decides she wants sex to be enjoyable and satisfying and a strength to her marriage.
She reads tons of books on the subject, and then this book is mainly a compilation of great quotes from other books. However she adds her perspective for instance she reorders the steps in the Female Sexual Response - that made a lot of sense. She rallies other women to work at their intimate relationship, and testifies that Heavenly Father wants sexual intimacy to be satisfying, enriching experiences, and will therefore help every woman to get those blessings. There is lots of redundancy on her concept of The Good Girl Syndrome where virtuous LDS women struggle with the act of sex as dirty, or bad but maybe someone who has that issue would really need lots of repetition about the sanctity of sex.
Anyway, on Goodreads I don't usually take the time to do anything other than rate the stars of a book, but I wrote a whole paragraph here because I think the information was VERY valuable. We encourage the couple to review the information and make a decision, if not married, based upon your truths and the truths revealed by your potential mate. If already married, learn to have the hard conversations and love to wholeness. To endure, you will need assistance, and we are here to help. Whether you are considering marriage or are already married, inside this manual are practical principles and encouragement that will help you build a strong relationship with your mate.
Not Ashamed: The Story of Jews for Jesus chronicles the exciting birth and development of this high-powered evangelistic movement. Historian Ruth Tucker presents an unbiased, clear perspective on the fresh band of youthful zealots who, led by Martin "Moishe" Rosen, took to the streets of San Francisco in the early s to win their world for Christ.
Their compelling sidewalk evangelism and "broadsiding" of passersby with pointed, self-published tracts, produced massive conversions in the "Jesus People" era, and almost immediate conflict with Orthodox Jewish church leaders, who held that no one could be a Christian and a Jew at the same time.
Fascinating reading! Call the supper to an end and tell us who you really are beneath your churchy look and your pious posture. Tell us something that makes us comfortable with our own nudity. We have carefully hidden our struggles and paraded only our victories, but the whole country is falling asleep at the parade!
Here bishop T. Jakes calls for believers to strip away all layers of superficiality, religious reasonings, and pious pretendings. We need to be real - to be honest before God and man. Our example, Jesus Christ Himself, ministered and died in total openness before us. How can the hurting around us receive help and healing unless we too are Naked and Not Ashamed?
What is the good news? If the gospel that Jesus taught is so good, why are Christians so bad? How can Christians relate to people of other faiths or of no faith at all? Bible teacher Henry Neufeld wrestles with these issues in this book. This is not a book of theology. It is his personal testimony of what Jesus means in his life, and how one can be both a serious, committed Christian and a strong proponent of diversity and dialogue.
In fact, he finds in the gospel not just permission to be tolerant, but a command to be open, honest, and clear in his convictions, and yet non-judgmental of the views of others.
