Since our first publication of Thriving Marriages, we have given seminars on its content to over 300,000 people across the United States. Two areas emerged that needed further clarification and elaboration: how to make conflict resolution more effective and how to communicate our needs more clearly. As a result, we have rewritten Chapter 10: Solving Conflicts with Wisdom and Respect. The new chapter simplifies the conflict resolution process focusing on the role of Understanding, Validating and Acting, which we refer to as the UVA response. This type of emphathic response allows people to integrate their differences and transform the conflict into an opportunity to grow in their unity. The chapter also includes a new questionnaire which covers the skills required and can be used as a tool to engage in constructive dialogue. For those of you involved in Marriage and Family Life, Religious Education, and Adult Faith Formation ministries, we invite you to include this new edition of Thriving Marriages in your curriculum and ministries as well as our different audio formation materials that accompany it.

Over 90 percent of couples experience some level of tension around money. In fact, money issues are the number one stressor in relationships. So many books try to fix the surface problems, such as how to budget and what to prioritize when it comes to finances, but the issues go much deeper than just a simple spreadsheet. How do men and women view money differently? What do most couples fight about? How can they get on the same page? What questions should men/women ask their significant others before marriage? There are emotional and spiritual components to finances that most couples ignore. How can you agree on a budget if you disagree with each other on the basic purpose of money? Thriving in Love and Money is based on original research Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn have conducted to get to the heart of these issues. And just as they did with their bestselling books For Women Only and For Men Only, they will use this research to provide the answers and insights you need to break the tension and provide the unity you're looking for. Let this book deepen your understanding of each other, leading to clear communication, peace as a couple, and better financial decision-making. Also available: video curriculum and workbook.

In 1965, when psychologists Sandra and Daryl Bem met and married, they were determined to function as truly egalitarian partners and to raise their children in accordance with gender-liberated, anti-homophobic, and sex-positive feminist ideals. This book by Sandra Bem, an autobiographical account of the Bems' nearly thirty-year marriage, is both a personal history of the Bems' past and a social history of a key period in feminism's past. It is also a look into feminism's future, because the Bems' children, Emily and Jeremy, now in their early twenties, speak in the book as well.

A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR BUILDING A THRIVING FAMILY PLAN There is a difference between a healthy family and a thriving family. Authors Linda and Lloyd Reeb have dedicated countless hours to walking alongside families as they navigate the journey toward thriving. This book explores the best practices for creating a thriving family plan that will include and celebrate the unique qualities of your family—no one-size-fits-all approach exists when it comes to family dynamics. In conjunction with the other two books in the family-focused series (Halftime for Couples and Finally Connected), this workbook-style guide will help you and your family explore the six key components of a thriving family plan: leadership, values, family of unique individuals, serving, legacy, and celebrating. No matter what your starting point is, this resource will help you and your family have conversations to get clear on your dreams and desires, get free from what’s holding you back, and get going on building a thriving family together. LINDA AND LLOYD REEB have been married over thirty years, enjoy living near Charlotte, NC, and have grown children and grandchildren. Linda was a stay-at-home mom and a part-time dental assistant until the children started leaving for college. After exploring her calling and realizing her passion to encourage moms of young children, she transitioned into a mentoring role at MomsMentoring (momsmentoring.com). That is her primary occupation today. Lloyd was a successful real estate developer and owner of luxury senior housing facilities in 1993 when his idea of success changed dramatically and his life’s focus shifted to second-half significance. He spends most of his time now speaking and leading workshops around the world and coaching men and women through the Halftime journey. He is also the author of The Second Half: Real stories, Real adventures, Real significance, a coffee-table book packed with stories of people making a difference in their second half. His first book, From Success to Significance: When the Pursuit of Success Isn’t Enough, is a roadmap for midlife transition.
