Intimate Allies
By Dan B. Allender and Tremper Longman
ISBN 0-8423-1802-X
Description: Allender and Longman, coauthors of Bold Love and Cry of the Soul, offer another life-changing book - this time about marriage. Combining their skills as counselor and theologian, they explore God's design for marriage. Through compelling slice-of-life marriage stories and biblical exploration, they show not only the real inner struggles of marriages today but also the stunning picture of what God calls us to be: intimate allies in confronting the chaos around us and inside us.
The Bible reveals to us the story of God's love for his people - the marriage story that is to shape our lives. It is the story that God intended to guide marriage, to reveal what went wrong with marriage, and to show us what we can do to restore intimacy, wholeness, and joy in our marriages.
This book cuts through our cultural expectations of marriage and pierces to the heart of marriage issues such as leadership, submission, conflict, disappointments, gender differences, roles, sexuality, and shared service. Study questions help couples, as well as groups, discuss the implications of the Bible's message.
The deep and thoughtful insights in this book will help you shape your marriage reflect the character and nature of God.

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus
By John Gray, Ph.D.
ISBN 0-0601-6848-X
Description: Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to Earth and amnesia set in: They forgot they were from different planets.
Using this metaphor to illustrate the commonly occurring conflicts between men and women, Dr. John Gray explains how these differences can come between the sexes and prohibit mutually fulfilling loving relationships. Based on years of successful counseling of couples and individuals, he gives advice on how to counteract these differences in communication styles, emotional needs, and modes of behavior to promote a greater understanding between individual partners.

You Just Don't Understand
Women and Men in Conversation
By Richard Carlson, Ph.D.
ISBN 0-6880-7822-2
Description: Why do so many women feel that men don't tell them anything, that they just lecture and criticize? Why do so many men feel that women nag them and never get to the point? In You Just Don't Understand, sociolinguist Deborah Tannen offers revolutionary answers to these and other questions that confound women's and men's attempts to communicate with each other.
Using stunning evidence from her own studies, Deborah Tannen shows that men and women live in different worlds, even under the same roof - so conversation between them is like cross - cultural communication. From early childhood, girls play with a best friend or in a small group and use language to seek confirmation and reinforce intimacy, whereas boys use language to protect their independence and negotiate status in large-group activities. Carrying these styles into adulthood, women and men walk away with completely different impressions of the same conversations.
Written in entertaining prose and enlivened by vivid examples and anecdotes, You Just Don't Understand offers a totally new approach to a peace treaty in the battle between the sexes. At work or home, it is only by understanding each other's styles of conversation that we can accept differences without blaming each other or ourselves. You Just Don't Understand can help us find common language in which to achieve more professional cooperation and deeper bonds with those we love
