Silent Cry Is an Excellent Resource for Those Who are Dating


     Having lived through an abusive relationship during the seventies, I was compelled to read Dorothy J. Newton's release of "Silent Cry".  There is an unspoken kinship among survivors who suffer in silence. How the public view's your family life and how you are really living is very different.  Trying to keep that secret because it's too embarrassing is tormenting.  Leaving takes a lot of courage.  Having a spouse that lives a double life is not the greatest deal breaker.  These men are so charismatic that individuals feel that if there is a problem in your marriage it must certainly be you.  Ms Newton gives God the glory for helping her with the pain and giving her the strength.  I urge young women who are dating to read this book.  I recommend it highly.  Note the red flags that shout Nate & Dorothy's relationship is bound to fail while they are still dating.
Dorothy's number one priority had always been her service to God.  Dating Nate, an unbeliever, she starts to compromise her values.  This book is full of learning experiences.  I was thrilled to review it for Book Look Bloggers.

Ten Skills Every Man Must Develop to Love His Wife Well


                 Author's Darrin & Amie Patrick tackle that old question, What does my wife want?  They prove that if you infiltrate these ten basic attributes (worship; listening; submitting; serving; providing among others) that you will become the best spouse ever.  The book is directed towards christian men where they can incorporate their belief's and put faith into action, although I highly recommend for all young men who want a thriving marriage.  Being blessed with a very happy union with my spouse and thoroughly enjoying marriage life, I can confirm that what the authors convey is true.  For many, the tasks may mean change and at a step at a time.  For others, who are selfless and who enjoy giving this book is a good reminder during difficult stages.  The authors provide questions and answer opportunities so that the readers can interact along with their partners.  There are a number of fun opportunities listed to get closer to your wife.  Overall a great read and learning tool.  I was given the great opportunity of reviewing this book for Book Look Bloggers.

A Tool To Learn More About Your Better Half

 
With lack of communication being high on the top of the list for why couples end up divorcing, Dr. Gary Chapman & Ramon Presson have compiled a book of questions that can strengthen marriages.  It is a marvelous tool to open your lines of communicating and learning more about the person you love.  It's imperative to dig deeper into your spouses thoughts in order to expand your relationship.  It also makes the couple find time to spend together in order to draw closer to one another.  Too often, relationships fail because work and activities take priority over their time together.  The couple than drifts apart.  The assignment the author's give us can be fun not to mention all of the new things we will learn about our partner that we never knew before.  This book is definitely a must read for all couples.  I was given the opportunity to read it from Moody Press in exchange for my thoughts. Dr. Gary Chapman is also the #1 New York Times Bestselling autor of  "The 5 Love Languages."
