How We Love!

“How We Love” – A Book Recommendation:

Is there a reoccurring issue in your relationship that you and your spouse go round and round about, that never seems to get resolved?

Is there a predictable pattern or way you and your spouse react to each other that leaves you both feeling frustrated or dissatisfied?

If there is, below is a book recommendation for you.  (Note: I recommend this book to single people as well, if they can look beyond the marriage language.  These principles apply to all relationships, they simply surface more apparently in our close relationships.)

Book Recommendation:
Sometimes young, influential leaders will come to me ready to take on the world, passionate about what they sense God leading and gifting them to do that will make a loving difference in this world.  They have everything going for them.  The only major thing seemingly holding them back is some type of relational conflict or unhealthy relational pattern in their marriage, or in some other relationship, that keeps getting in their way.

I’m always looking for powerful resources that God can use to help them – and me – mature, grow and heal so that we may all live a Kingdom life that is unencumbered.

Recently, a woman I know, named Linda, gave me a book that she thought would be helpful in what I do.  Wow, was she right!

The book “How We Love” takes a look at our love styles, specifically five wounded love styles that impact our relationships and keep us from giving and receiving love the way we desire, trapping us in repetitive relational patterns.

God’s been using this book to help me see some of the ways I relate that are not helpful and are not allowing me to live the abundant life Jesus offers, or to receive the comfort I need when pain is triggered inside me.

Maybe you’ll find it helpful too.  I highly recommend it.

The quiz doesn’t take long (though it will probably take a lifetime to work through the things you discover!).

I hope you will experience some huge breakthroughs in your relational life that will help you give and receive love more like God intended – more like Jesus did and still does.

A new command I give you:  Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”  –  John 13:34

PS  Thank you, Linda, for the book.  It’s a gift that will continually be given away (even though I’m holding on to my copy)!
