Are We One Yet?
The newlyweds sigh, "It doesn't get any better than this!" But when the honeymoon blush begins to fade, doubts may creep in. "Does it get any better than this?" we wonder. The truth dawns: becoming "one" in marriage is a process of growth-sometimes in exhilarating leaps, sometimes agonizingly slow, sometimes out of synch.

This book will help you and your spouse take more control over the marriage growth process. It's down to earth and supremely practical, dealing honestly with your needs and offering specific exercises, projects, and principles to help your marriage grow deeper and stronger. Among the topics covered are:
� How to know God more deeply - your knowledge of God directly influences your marriage relationship
� How to know yourself and your spouse more completely: overcoming hindrances to self-disclosure
� Develop a Biblical view of love and Marriage - is unconditional love possible?
� Be bilingual: learn to speak your spouse's "language of love" - and communicate your own feelings more effectively
� The key to healthy conflict resolution - get off the "marriage merry-go-around"
� What's your praise/criticism ratio? Learn to encourage your spouse more effectively.
� How to grow in intimacy together: emotionally. intellectually, recreationally, spiritually, physically
� An effective way to pass on to others the principles of marriage growth that have helped you

Whether you use this book in a couples class, on a marriage retreat, in a small-group study, or read it on your own, these principles will guide you toward realistic growth in your marriage.
