Die behoefte aan romantiese liefde is diep in ons onderbewussyn gewortel. Om die liefde in die huwelik lewend te hou, is ’n baie ernstige saak.

Dr. Gary Chapman het deur jare se ervaring tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat mense liefde op verskillende maniere bewys en ervaar. As jy jou liefde op ’n manier uitdruk wat jou maat nie verstaan nie, gaan hy of sy nie besef wat jy besig is om te doen nie. Vyf tale van die liefde bespreek die vyf tale van die liefde en help die leser om hul eie taal asook dié van hul maat te identifiseer.

Vyf tale van die liefde fokus op die vyf tale en hoe om hulle kragtig toe te pas:

• Opbouende woorde
• Kwaliteit-tyd
• Geskenke
• Diensbaarheid
• Fisieke aanraking

Hierdie bygewerkte uitgawe kyk ook na die rol van tegnologie in ons verhoudings asook langafstand-verhoudings en bevat ’n bygewerkte vraelys en ’n nadink-vraag aan die einde van elke hoofstuk.

"When you're in a dark place, it is also a sacred place because God is there with you." In this refreshingly candid book, author, life coach, and conference speaker Clarence Shuler shares his own story of depression and how, by God's grace, he's learning to effectively manage it. Shuler's story will help you receive grace in your own struggles. Joining Clarence is Monique Gadson (affectionately known as "Dr. Mo"), a licensed counselor who helped Clarence escape a very dark place in his life. Learn from Dr. Mo as she offers counseling insights and expertise woven throughout Clarence's story, bringing clarity and wisdom to anyone desperate for hope. In the "Your Journey" section at the end of each chapter, you will be guided to reflect on your own walk in darkness and find ways back to joy. Finding Hope in a Dark Place--part memoir, part mentorship, part workbook--will help you recognize your own story in Clarence's and remind you that hope is possible and worth pursuing. Even in the darkness, God is with you in that sacred space.
