14 Keys to Lasting Love by Kim Kimberling, Phd


We long for a marriage that lasts for a life time full of love and happy memories. Yet, the divorce statistics are fairly high in today's world. How do we create a marriage full of lasting love? Kim Kimberling gives a lot of solid advice and answers in his latest book, 14 Keys to Lasting Love.

There are 14 chapters in 14 Keys to Lasting Love that correspond with the 14 keys. Topics such as being friends with your spouse, how children can change the relationship, how to do conflict, how to handle money, how to keep the spark in your marriage through the years, and a whole lot more. In each chapter, he gives a lot of advice and examples from other couples in his work as a marriage counselor. He also shares a lot of personal information on how he and his wife and maintained their marriage for forty years. At the end of each chapter, he offers several key questions for couples to think about and ask each other. Then it ends with a sort of action each couple can take to improve their marriage based on that chapter.

I found 14 Keys to Lasting Love to be a good comprehensive guide to having a quality marriage in today's world. I liked so much that Dr. Kimberling focused on challenges couples have had for many of the past decades and continue to have. At the same time, he also featured some of the problems unique to couples in today's world such as gaming addiction, how the internet can affect relationships, and how to handle social media as a couple. I found this book to have some good information for adding some improvements to our marriage after 18 years, even though our marriage is good. However, I think it would be especially useful for young couples. This book would make a good engagement shower gift and wedding gift for newly married couples. I highly recommend it. 14 Keys to Lasting Love is an enjoyable read and easy to understand and relate to.

I received this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. #sponsoredbyfaithwords

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
