The result is mutual understanding and a successful, godly marriage.
La comunicacion entre las parejas se ha analizado minuciosamente en miles de libros y articulos, entonces, por que continua siendo el problema numero uno en el matrimonio? Porque, dice el doctor Emerson Eggerichs, la mayoria de los conyuges no saben que hablan dos idiomas distintos. Se envian mensajes “codificados”, pero no descifran el codigo hasta que se dan cuenta que ella escucha para oir el lenguaje del amor y el escucha para oir el lenguaje del respeto. El libro de gran exito de ventas del doctor Eggerichs, Amor y respeto, desencadeno una revolucion en la manera en que las parejas se relacionan entre si basada en Efesios 5.33: El marido debe amar a su esposa… y la esposa debe respetar al marido. En Descifre el codigo de la comunicacion el ensea a las parejas a hablar el idioma evidentemente distinto del otro: respeto para el, amor para ella. El resultado es comprension mutua y un matrimonio exitoso y devoto.

Confessions Of An Adulterous Christian Woman
$14.99Add to cartConfessions of an Adulterous Christian Woman offers a rare and honest look at the destructive descent into adultery and reveals the redeeming power of God’s grace and His ability to restore a ruined life. Author Lyndell Hetrick Holtz was a pastor’s wife, Bible study leader, and retreat speaker who never believed she would commit adultery. She thought her involvement with ministry gave her extra protection from the temptation to have an affair. But, in her forties, her life began to crumble, and suddenly adultery seemed to be the solution for an unhappy life and marriage. With emotion and conviction, Lyndell reflects on the disillusionment and faulty beliefs that led to destructive decisions. She tells of the heartache and pain she experienced when her affair was discovered and the resulting consequences, including the loss of her 25 year marriage, her beautiful home, her witness in the community, her friends, and the respect of her four adult children. It seemed as if her life was over and her relationship with Christ forever ruined.
But it was here, broken and sprawled in the dust of shame and defeat, where Lyndell encountered love unlike any she had ever known. With worship and humility, she shares how God lovingly embraced her shattered life and began to redeem, restore, and rebuild it in miraculous ways.
Confessions of an Adulterous Christian Woman gives women a first-hand look at the destruction of adultery and provides the awareness needed to avoid assuming that Christian women are immune to adultery’s snare. This powerful story examines the devastating effects of adultery, but more importantly, reveals a God who continues to write His story of redemption, restoration, and reconciliation on the broken lives of humanity, taking us, from utter despair to undying devotion to Him and the unconditional, healing love He gives.

“Lord, here am I. Change him.”
“God, I’m trying. She started it.”Common claims but they’re so far from Trinitarian life. We invoke Christ at the wedding then seem to default to an alien theology afterward.
In this simple and practical book, Doug Wilson offers a richer and more comprehensive theology of marriage than in his prior works. Here he grounds marriage in the life of the Trinity and in the life of the church. Marriage is intended to be a glorious picture of the gospel, and marriages grounded elsewhere regularly create a small hell on earth. Don’t miss the riches of marriage.
