DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Bărbaţii şi femeile funcţionează diferit — acesta este un lucru ştiut deja de toată lumea. Ce nu se ştie încă este cum pot fi respectate aceste diferenţe, ba chiar transformate în atuuri. Femeile sunt stresate de cumpărături, dar bărbaţii se descurcă foarte bine dacă sunt înarmaţi cu o listă detaliată. Femeile nu spun exact ce vor să facă bărbaţii, iar aceştia nu înţeleg limbajul indirect al partenerelor lor. Comunicarea în cuplu este un continuu vals, la care, dacă nu respectaţi paşii de dans, o să ajungeţi mereu să vă călcaţi pe picioare. Sau să vă cicăliţi.

This topic is dear to my heart and one that needs further clarification. The quote, “Ordained covenantal relationship, marriage, and family are the same in the Spirit", took me some time to process and understand what the Spirit was saying. The reality that it is the only relationship that has the ability to reproduce after a Yahweh kind took even longer to unpack. Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about the importance of developing new relationships while enjoying the safety and security of lifelong friendships.

Ce așteptări avem în clipa în care ne căsătorim? Dar atunci când trădăm încrederea celui de lângă noi? Există oare căsnicii ferite pe vecie de teribilul spectru al adulterului? Poate o relație extraconjugală să salveze o căsnicie?
