From the Back Cover:
Anger begins as frustration, hurt or fear. When you don’t deal with these deeper emotions, they intensify and fester into resentment and rage—and the affectionate intimacy you long for in your relationship is driven away. Yet everyone experiences anger at one time or another . . . so how can you cope when it surfaces and strengthen the connection between you and your spouse? Popular relationship expert Dr. Gary Smalley suggests that you have three options when anger rears its head: You can stuff it, you can spew it or you can study it.With his pastor and good friend, Ted Cunningham, Smalley peels back anger’s layers to expose the emotional core of fury and bitterness. In the From Anger to Intimacy study guide and companion DVD, they invite you to go beyond the book and take a deeper look at the pain that lies at the heart of anger. Through six teaching and Bible study sessions, they show you how sharing that pain leads to deep intimacy and a marriage that will go the distance.
