According to the Lauers, forgiving yourself can be the most difficult kind of forgiveness to practice, yet not forgiving yourself can be corrosive to your well-being. Self-forgiveness is the natural corollary to God's forgiveness. The main focus of the book is the steps we can take to allow God's forgiveness into our lives and relationships. Filled with stories, examples, and encouragement, it dispels some common myths about self-forgiveness. The Lauers pave the way for the reality that self-forgiveness is an act of love toward yourself, and show how to rid yourself of destructive and unwarranted anger and guilt in order to restore your sense of self-worth as a child of God.

A threefold cord is not quickly broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:12) A relationship where God and spouses are entwined is as strong and resistant to stresses as a braided cord. A stable, meaningful marriage is further strengthened by a shared spiritual journey, write the authors. There's a reciprocal relationship between marital and spiritual growth. In our counseling, we often hear how joint faith is one of the most important factors in the vitality and stability of marriage. In Love Never Ends, the Lauers show you how to strengthen both your relationship with God and with your spouse. Their approach is biblical, realistic, anecdotal and practical. Each chapter contains a Face-to-Face section with ideas for spouses to think about and discuss, followed by a prayer suggestion. Engaging in the exercises in this book will help you * learn how to communicate better with your marriage partner * increase your intimacy * draw closer to God Married since 1954, the Lauers speak from their extensive personal and professional experience. They have worked with other couples in marriage enrichment groups and in counseling, and they have coauthored 15 books as well as numerous articles published in magazines such as Psychology Today, Ladies Home Journal, and Reader s Digest. As couples read the book and engage in the exercises, you will grow in your understanding of Christian love and will practice mutual instruction in spiritual matters. Love Never Ends will help you learn to increase the number of joyous marital and spiritual experiences in your daily life.
