The Mindful Marriage : Create Your Best Relationship through Understanding and Managing Yourself

Four seasoned therapists share the science-backed successes of the revolutionary Restoration Therapy--created by Dr. Terry Hargrave and his wife, Sharon Hargrave, and used by Ron and Nan Deal in their practices and teachings--that shows couples how to stop the painful reactivity that harms their marriage by becoming more mindful of their emotional triggers, individually and as a couple, so that they experience a deeper, more trusting relationship. When Ron and Nan Deal suffered the devastating loss of their child, their marriage was nearly shattered by their destructive cycles. At wits' end, they sought the help of pioneering therapists Dr. Terry Hargrave and Sharon Hargrave, LMFT, whose transformational Restoration Therapy has helped millions through the practice of emotional mindfulness. Now, the Deals and Hargraves introduce readers to this proven method that challenges popular beliefs about how relationships work. They show readers how to better understand themselves in times of emotional distress, so that they can self-regulate. Christian readers will especially appreciate the balance of scientifically proven methods along with Scripturally sound teaching, resulting in more loving, faithful marital relationships.
