The 4 Seasons of Marriage (Gary Chapman)
From the Back Cover
Which season of marriage are you in?
Marriages are in a perpetual state of transition, continually moving from one season to another―perhaps not annually, as in nature, but certainly and consistently. Sometimes we find ourselves in winter―distant, discouraged, and dissatisfied; other times we experience springtime―filled with hope, openness, and anticipation. Sometimes we bask in the warmth of summer―satisfied and comfortable, simply enjoying life together. In times of fall, negligence and uncertainty creep in, leaving us feeling unsettled and apprehensive.
The cycle repeats itself many times throughout the life of a marriage, just as the seasons in nature repeat themselves. Each season presents its own unique challenges, and each holds the potential for emotional health and happiness. This book will help you and your spouse identify which season your marriage is currently in, give you a common language with which to discuss your marriage, and provide practical strategies that will help you strengthen and enhance your relationship.

If you could go back and talk to your Little Girl, what would you say? “Hey, Little Girl…” is a past, present, and future approach to addressing negative labels. Oftentimes, we adopt an image of ourselves that our family or societies’ systems designed for us and we tend to get energetically stuck by those past labels. Labels we have internalized accumulate and travel with us into adulthood. This book shares a personal therapy session experience that liberated the inner Little Girl during an Empty Chair Exercise. Just like a piece of mislabeled mail ending up at the wrong address, we can end up at the wrong destination feeling torn, misused, and lost. “Hey, Little Girl” will journey you through a 10-step system using The Delabeling Process to help you peel back labels to reveal your true authentic self. This process is the path to self-discovery and will liberate you to become as free as a bird and soar with passion, purpose, and intention.
