Make Room

"Anyone in a serious relationship will find this book most helpful."
-- Gary Chapman, PhD., author of The 5 Love Languages

Living in your dream home is what everyone wants, but building that dream house is impossible unless you have the right blueprint and tools. The same can be said of healthy relationships. Everyone wants a marriage that is full of intimacy and trust, but unless you use the right tools you will never get there.

In Make Room, Dr. Jeff Rees provides the tools and the blueprint for creating or improving serious relationships. Using the various rooms of your dream home and the aspects of life they represent, couples are presented with dozens of true-to-life case studies to review and share their perspectives with one another. Couples will discover, connect, embrace, learn, and support each other in deeper ways than before.

"Make Room gives practical advice for life together and offers valuable tools for relational success."
-- Gregg Matte, author of Birds and Bees: A Conversation about God, Sex, and Sexuality

Dr. Jeffrey W. Rees has been caring for couples for over 30 years. He thrives on equipping couples with tools and methods that cultivate and maintain healthy, loving family relationships. He and his wife Martha live in Houston and are the parents of 3 grown children.

"Make Room will be a great template for those who do marriage counseling as well as for couples that want to do their own study. Dr. Rees did us all a favor in writing this book. Get a copy and apply it to your life!"
-- Roger Wernette, author of Invited and Wholehearted

"Really ... another book on marriage? Hasn't the subject been covered already by countless numbers of authors? What is there left to say? I confess these were some of my thoughts when I received an early copy for my review. It didn't take long before I realized that this book is so unique in style and content. There is freshness and wisdom in Jeff Rees's insight, even (and especially) for those of us who have been married for decades. His emphasis upon communicating with your spouse is fantastic."
