Which season of marriage are you in?Spring, 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 facing the struggles of 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. This book describes these recurring seasons of marriage, helping you and your spouse identify which season your marriage is in, and showing you how to enhance your marriage in all four seasons.Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages, gives practical advice and strategies to Christian couples on how to:
- Transform your relationship by changing your attitude
- Have healthy communication through empathetic listening
- Leverage and maximize the differences between you
This book guides husbands and wives through every season, helping them cultivate the intimacy and passion they long for whether they're newlyweds or have been married for years.
