The biggest obstacle to building long-standing and deep relationships, argues the author, is self-centredness. The solution offered in this book is forgiveness and a quality of love that directs more energy towards others' concerns rather than towards personal well being.
Few people today would challenge the equal worth of men and women at work, in the family or in their capacity for contribution to society. Yet has political correctness blurred essential differences that were designed to enrich the way that men and women relate to one another?
Larry Crabb probes the cause of what is perhaps the most overwhelming personal problem of our times ¿ the breakdown of relationships between husbands and wives ¿ and discovers a healthier, more positive and more authentically biblical pattern for giving and receiving love.
Dr Larry Crabb is founder of the Institute of Biblical Counselling in Colorado and is the author of many significant books including 'Basic Principles of Biblical Counselling, Effective Biblical Counselling, Understanding People' and 'Be Strong, Be Courageous'.
