DESCRIPTION

Synopsis from Bethany House: 

A Marriage Full of A.W.E.

If you think intimacy in marriage is an impossible goal, think again.

Even if your relationship is the high maintenance variety, you can still find that meaningful connection you are seeking by cultivating three important ingredients in your relationship: Affection, Warmth, and Encouragement--AWE.

Sharing personal stories of both success and failure, Jim Burns' candid and vulnerable style will encourage you to work toward rekindling the fires of your romance, no matter how chilly the coals may have grown. Important areas discussed include communication, sexuality, friendship, forgiveness, worship, attitudes, and priorities.

This is not a pie-in-the-sky approach to marriage. The challenges of everyday life with a spouse are faced head-on by someone who has not only experienced them himself but also coached hundreds of other couples and individuals in their struggles. The practical help he offers will equip you to tackle the real-life issues of marriage and find true and lasting intimacy with your spouse.

Each chapter includes helpful follow-up exercises and questions for personal reflection.
