I am not married yet, but this book taught me that love is not just what marriages are made of. A marriage is made of commitment, loyalty and the willingness to be there no matter what.

Read it, have some kleenex ...             Conscious Loving: The Journey to Co-Commitment: A Way to Be Fully Together Without Giving Up Yourself36 reviews Gay Hendricks, Kathlyn Hendricks Bantam, 1990 The lame guy who gave it to me changed my life forever I first read this book over ten years ago. Recently it has come up in my life again (I just sent this URL to a new "friend" :) ), and I just had to write a review to counter whatever the hell that "one star" is about. This book changed ME.

Drawing on his decades of experience as an attorney and divorce mediator, Mr. Duzak has written a book which is full of wise counsel on ...             Cheaper Than Therapy: How to Keep Life's Small Problems from Becoming Big Ones34 reviews Gina Greenlee Aventine Press, 2005 Coping with Clutter This charmingly simple book spoke volumes to me about the dangers of a disorganized life, and brought to mind several practical applications. If I don't hang up my clothes every night, my bedroom is soon an unworkable mess.

This book deserves more than five stars. Prior to Intrinsic Motivation at Work, management books often referred to the need for intrinsic motivation or sources of thta motivation (such as an inspiring purpose or interesting work).

This book addresses an old age issue existing between men and women and breaks it down in a way that we all can understand.

However, many new parents find themselves swamped once the child arrives, and parenting manuals frequently gather dust on the bookshelves as well intentioned moms and dads struggle just to keep everyone fed, clothed and ...             The Divorce Culture: Rethinking Our Commitments to Marriage and Family8 reviews Barbara Dafoe Whitehead Vintage, 1998 Completely mind-opening This book examines families for what they are supposed to be -- stable institutions for the raising of children.

This makes sense; we don't live double-lives, and there exists no magic, secret formula for success in business, medicine, or raising kids. It comes down to basic human virtues. Commitment. Character. Competence. These attributes fuel the engines of success in life. It boggles the mind how many ...             Marriage from the Heart : Eight Commitments of a Spiritually Fulfilling Life Together9 reviews Lois Kellerman, Nelly Bly, 2002 Strengthening I like how this book applies itself more towards strengthening an existing relationship rather than fixing a broken one (although the techniques presented are applicable to both situations). In fact, the content of this book could easily be applied to non-romantic relationships as well. The authors style and liberal use of applicable anecdotes yields an easy and enjoyable read. I will be ...             Consensus Through Conversation: How to Achieve High-Commitment Decisions9 reviews Larry Dressler Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2006 A convert to the power of consensus I began this book with a healthy dose of skepticism. On more than one occasion I've been involved in "consensus" decision-making processes that were less than stellar. (As an employee, a board member, a community member and business owner.) In the hands of an unskilled, or manipulative, or misguided (or worse, downright deceitful) facilitator a so-called consensus decision-making process can ...             Building a Healthy Multi-ethnic Church: Mandate, Commitments and Practices of a Diverse Congregation (J-B ...8 reviews Mark DeYmaz Jossey-Bass, 2007 A church for all people? Tell me where! Most of us only dream of attending a church where all people worship as one.

My wife and I attend the same multi-ethnic church... we love it! And if we ever had to move, we would ...             A Vow to Cherish (A Vow to Cherish Series #1) (Steeple Hill Women's Fiction #37)9 reviews Deborah Raney Steeple Hill, 2006 A deeply moving story about real love and commitment... A Vow to Cherish touched me deeply--for many reasons. To me, this story is about having no regrets and allowing God to work things out in our lives with His perfect timing. I remember seeing the movie when it first came out and holding my breath as I watched John fall in love with Julia. I recall the same conflicting feelings when I read this book. Part of me wanted John to be happy with Julia. I ...             Authentic Conversations: Moving from Manipulation to Truth and Commitment9 reviews Jamie Showkeir, Maren Showkeir Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2008 We Must Be the Change We Want to See This book is challenging and provocative. It's not one you can breeze through because it has this unsettling knack for holding up a mirror and saying, "Hey look. There's something here I want you to see." The something it wants us to understand is how deeply our everyday conversations at work are riddled with a lack of authenticity and how that lack stifles engagement and personal ...              search for books acceptance, acknowledgment, authentic, chronicles, co-commitment, commitment, commitments, congregation, conscious, conversation, conversations, decisions, disorders, fulfilling, high-commitment, intentions, leadership, manipulation, mindfulness, motivation, multi-ethnic, practices, practitioner, qualities, rethinking, spiritually, strategies, translating, treatment, values-based books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
