David Hawkins (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 15, 2005

Drawing from many years of experience as a licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. David Hawkins shows that complex relational problems usually spring from nine destructive habits couples fall into, and he offers practical suggestions for changing the way husbands and wives relate to each other. Thoroughly scriptural and eminently up–to–date, this handbook for healthy relationships gently but clearly shows how to

• address problems but avoid emotional explosions
• learn from mistakes
• create healthy boundaries
• establish an atmosphere of humility and forgiveness
• stop battling and begin championing one another

Married men and women, pastors, and counselors will find helpful insights into the challenges all marriages face as well as the strategies for breakthroughs.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book for couples, May 31, 2006

Pete's son-in-law Tony writes:

Pete bought this book for me, and although i do not consider myself a Christian, this has helped me understand my own mistakes in my once failed marriage. My ex and I are now in the proccess of working things out, and I can attribute most of my personal success in making progreess to this book. A must for the religous as well as the spiritual like me. The scant references to Christ are supportive and further what i believe to be his true message of love and grace. So many of us go through our relationships blind and unknowing of the damage we can cause, with even just simple things. If you tink you need to learn, then this is the book for you!

A very easy read covering some very important areas that those in relationships can easily fall into, sometimes without realising it. David draws from his own personal experience in relationships & clients he has counselled over the years. He outlines proactive points to help recognise/identify possible problem areas in relationships, as well as offer some pragmatic solutions as well. A great book.
