Book Description
This narrative is the life's story of a young girl who dreamed big of a wonderful marriage. A drastic end to her dream came after forty three years as a result of her mate's accumulated harbored resentments. A lack of forgiveness lead to stress which accelerated his depressed state It demonstrates how a person's "Character House" is developed over the span of life without the individual's awareness. What a person is inside and not what is displayed on the outside is the main source of strength to face the difficulties of life including marriage. The story demonstrates how both "Character House's evolved and how one was confident and was a survivor. The other turned difficulties into stress and depression. Counseling did not work as the emphasis was on changing the other mate and not self. Carrying stress for long periods increased to the point of despair. The crisis came with it's drastic affects on the marriage union. The author hopes the aspects covered in the book will help the reader to avoid the snares that trip up the lives of a couple. It is based on scattered, true events with names and pictures changed for privacy reasons. Having a steady focus and good character materials was vital for her survival. Her character developed in observing her family overcome and her own victory over the many tough places in life. If marriage is contemplated, hopefully careful attention will be given to the serious decision. Careful observation of the other's reactions to stress and difficulties might be a clue in what the future would hold. Above all, keep a good compass to stay fortified for future challenges.. Prayer to a Christian compares to the root system of a tree. It helps the person stand, live, and grow. God turned her weakness and inadequacies into strength in finding resolutions to her despair. Prayer was the bridge between panic and peace as the crisis came.

Nora Webster
Author: Colm Toibin
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439149852
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
From one of contemporary literature’s bestselling, critically acclaimed, and beloved authors: a “luminous” novel (Jennifer Egan, The New York Times Book Review) about a fiercely compelling young widow navigating grief, fear, and longing, and finding her own voice—“heartrendingly transcendant” (The New York Times, Janet Maslin). Set in Wexford, Ireland, Colm Tóibín’s magnificent seventh novel introduces the formidable, memorable, and deeply moving Nora Webster. Widowed at forty, with four children and not enough money, Nora has lost the love of her life, Maurice, the man who rescued her from the stifling world to which she was born. And now she fears she may be sucked back into it. Wounded, selfish, strong-willed, clinging to secrecy in a tiny community where everyone knows your business, Nora is drowning in her own sorrow and blind to the suffering of her young sons, who have lost their father. Yet she has moments of stunning insight and empathy, and when she begins to sing again, after decades, she finds solace, engagement, a haven—herself. Nora Webster “may actually be a perfect work of fiction” (Los Angeles Times), by a “beautiful and daring” writer (The New York Times Book Review) at the zenith of his career, able to “sneak up on readers and capture their imaginations” (USA TODAY). “Miraculous...Tóibín portrays Nora with tremendous sympathy and understanding” (Ron Charles, The Washington Post).

The Science of Trust: Emotional Attunement for Couples
Author: John M. Gottman
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393707407
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 667
Book Description
An eminent therapist explains what makes couples compatible and how to sustain a happy marriage. For the past thirty-five years, John Gottman’s research has been internationally recognized for its unprecedented ability to precisely measure interactive processes in couples and to predict the long-term success or failure of relationships. In this groundbreaking book, he presents a new approach to understanding and changing couples: a fundamental social skill called “emotional attunement,” which describes a couple’s ability to fully process and move on from negative emotional events, ultimately creating a stronger relationship. Gottman draws from this longitudinal research and theory to show how emotional attunement can downregulate negative affect, help couples focus on positive traits and memories, and even help prevent domestic violence. He offers a detailed intervention devised to cultivate attunement, thereby helping couples connect, respect, and show affection. Emotional attunement is extended to tackle the subjects of flooding, the story we tell ourselves about our relationship, conflict, personality, changing relationships, and gender. Gottman also explains how to create emotional attunement when it is missing, to lay a foundation that will carry the relationship through difficult times. Gottman encourages couples to cultivate attunement through awareness, tolerance, understanding, non-defensive listening, and empathy. These qualities, he argues, inspire confidence in couples, and the sense that despite the inevitable struggles, the relationship is enduring and resilient. This book, an essential follow-up to his 1999 The Marriage Clinic, offers therapists, students, and researchers detailed intervention for working with couples, and offers couples a roadmap to a stronger future together.

The All-or-Nothing Marriage
Author: Eli J. Finkel
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101984341
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
“After years of debate and inquiry, the key to a great marriage remained shrouded in mystery. Until now...”—Carol Dweck, author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success Eli J. Finkel's insightful and ground-breaking investigation of marriage clearly shows that the best marriages today are better than the best marriages of earlier eras. Indeed, they are the best marriages the world has ever known. He presents his findings here for the first time in this lucid, inspiring guide to modern marital bliss. The All-or-Nothing Marriage reverse engineers fulfilling marriages—from the “traditional” to the utterly nontraditional—and shows how any marriage can be better. The primary function of marriage from 1620 to 1850 was food, shelter, and protection from violence; from 1850 to 1965, the purpose revolved around love and companionship. But today, a new kind of marriage has emerged, one oriented toward self-discover, self-esteem, and personal growth. Finkel combines cutting-edge scientific research with practical advice; he considers paths to better communication and responsiveness; he offers guidance on when to recalibrate our expectations; and he even introduces a set of must-try “lovehacks.” This is a book for the newlywed to the empty nester, for those thinking about getting married or remarried, and for anyone looking for illuminating advice that will make a real difference to getting the most out of marriage today.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 610
Book Description
First published in 1974, Social Work Treatment remains the most popular and trusted compendium of theories available to social work students and practitioners.
