Over the Walls of Anger, Into Each Other's Arms

What if anger in your relationship is actually a desire for deeper connection? In fact, this is often the case. It's quite a paradox that a desire for closeness stirs anger that pushes you further apart! Attachment theory explains this natural effect.

Universal Spirit The Seasons of the Christian Year in the Company of Northrop Frye

To a church that increasingly addresses itself to biblically illiterate people, to people who may have little or no church experience, and to those who simply call themselves spiritual-but-not-religious, Don Collett’s look at the Christian year inspired by the work of the great Canadian scholar Northrop Frye offers a priceless gift.

Not Always in the Mood: The New Science of Men, Sex, and Relationships

Nice to a Fault, Redefining Kindness in Marriage

A compassionate read for women who have unconsciously adopted traditional female roles of silence and submissiveness in the effort to be accomodating and understanding of their male partners in a manner that develops resentment and erodes at marital foundation. The author says: "Although it is written for women, I find that men often pick it up to better understand their wife’s perspective when she has asked him to read it."
