The Practically Divine Marriage
Doing anything of value requires effort and skill. Creating a loving and life-giving marriage is the most valuable of all.We have been given God's heart to carry into the world. We carry it to our friends and family and, if we're married, we carry it to our beloved. It's a wonderful thing to carry God's heart, but it's not an easy task. The challenge, of course, is that we're human. We're frail and fallible, often forgetting what we should remember and remembering what we should forget. We frequently need to forgive and be forgiven. The tile of this book, The Practically Divine Marriage, highlights two essential goals for marriage: putting God at the center of your marriage, and learning and practicing the skills necessary to carry His heart to the one you love.-----------------------------"Buckley gently nudges his readers to carry his wisdom into their lives, especially their marriage."

A Sociology of Special Education
Everyone knows what anger is. We've all felt it at one time or another, be it a minor, passing annoyance or a full-on all-out rage. Anger is a normal emotion, and most of the time, it's a healthy one. It becomes a problem when it gets out of control and consumes you to the point that it's all you can think about. It becomes a problem when it becomes destructive and causes problems in your work and personal life. And, if you let anger control you, you become the prisoner of powerful, unpredictable emotions. Anger management is about learning to control how you react to situations that provoke your anger, including your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Overcoming anger is about learning to move on from what triggers you, no matter how hard it may be, and it will involve the painful exercise of having to go back to what started it and relive it before you can put it behind you.

As polyamory continues to make its way into the mainstream, more and more people are exploring consensual nonmonogamy in the hope of experiencing more love, connection, sex, freedom and support. While for many, the move expands personal horizons, for others, the transition can be challenging, leaving them blindsided and overwhelmed. Beyond the initial transition to nonmonogamy, many struggle with the root issues beneath the symptoms of broken agreements, communication challenges, increased fighting and persistent jealousy. Polyamorous psychotherapist Jessica Fern and restorative justice facilitator David Cooley share the insights they have gained through thousands of hours working with clients in consensually nonmonogamous relationships. Using a grounded theory approach, they explore the underlying challenges that nonmonogamous individuals and partners can experience after their first steps, offering practical strategies for transforming them into opportunities for new levels of clarity and intimacy. Polywise provides both the conceptual framework to better understand the shift from monogamy to nonmonogamy and the tools to navigate the next steps.

Both science and spirituality see the enemy as a teacher -- one who holds information critical to resolving common struggles. But learning from one's enemies, especially in these polarized times, can be a profoundly difficult task. Worst Enemy, Best Teacher integrates spiritual, cultural, and scientific methods to transform adversarial relationships into powerful learning experiences. Here mediator and corporate trainer Deidre Combs expands on the revolutionary philosophy introduced in her first bookThe Way of Conflict.

The book shows how to apply the wisdom gained from studying the opponent to any challenge, whether within one's self, with friends or family, or between companies or nations, and offers ingenious tips and techniques for learning from the enemy and converting conflict into resolution.

Married Life
THE highest, purest, best and holiest relation in life is that of marriage, which ought never to be regarded as a mere civil contract, entered into from worldly ends, but as an essential union of two minds, by which each gains a new power, and acquires! new capacities for enjoyment and usefulness. Much has been said and written about the equality of the sexes, and the rights of woman; but little of all that has been said or written on this subject is based upon a discriminating appreciation of the difference between man and woman; a difference provided by the Creator, who made them for each other, and stamped upon the spirit of each an irresistible tendency towards conjunction
Tibet
I've been assisting others with their relationships for years. Counseling through arguments, teaching them to communicate, and learning how the other works, but it's been my dream to give many people this guidance without them having to search too hard for it. So I did. I built, crafted, and refined this book using the tools I know work through countless hours of counseling others. I even included my own personal experience of bonding with my wife because our story of learning to communicate with one another has been a myriad of successful moments within itself. We come from two completely different cultures, speaking two completely different languages, and we have faced countless hurdles of misunderstandings and confusion. If we can do it, you can too. I've worked with many couples who know exactly what I mean. So what are you waiting for? Make your relationship matter. Make it make sense. Let's make your foundation unbreakable. This is The Foundation Of Love.

I Can Fix This
From the author of Hold On, But Don't Hold Still, the emotionally charged and eye-opening account of a mother who navigates the cacophony of best practices and urgent advice from parenting authorities in search of a way to support her teen as he maps his own path to mental health. When Kristina Kuzmič started to see signs that her otherwise sunny, resilient teenage son was struggling, she was sure a few simple fixes could right the ship. But over the following months, the issues her family faced became more nuanced, complicated, and pervasive than she could've predicted--and what began as a clear to do list spiraled into an emotionally fraught and seemingly endless push and pull between signs of progress and overwhelming fear. Despite her best efforts, Kuzmič had internalized a set of obligations, ideas, and unrealistic standards from parenting culture and social media that left her unprepared to guide her child when he needed her most. Featuring an urgent and affirming foreword by renowned and New York Times bestselling clinician Dr. Shefali Tsabary--Kuzmič's new book debunks ten "parenting truths" that kept her in crisis, and delves into her insecurities and the mistakes she made to reveal invaluable lessons and transformative approaches that worked. While her family stands on the other side now stronger than ever, Kuzmič's journey calls to parents who have felt the instinct to say "I can fix this" in situations where good intentions far exceed our abilities to enact change.
