Confessions Of A Happily Married Man

Discover God in the messiness of your marriage, as popular marriage and family columnist Joshua Rogers offers spouses hope with real-life stories from his own marriage and helps you see how God is at work in the ordinary and extraordinary of your relationship. Confessions of a Happily Married Man is a husband's painfully honest account of his first ten years of marriage. It offers a window into the perspective of a man who went from "hello" to "I do" in nine months and then figured out how hard marriage could be. When Joshua Rogers thought back on the marriage books he had read or sermons about marriage he had heard, it occurred to him that he could only remember one thing about them: the stories. That's why this book is anchored by stories that other couples will relate to and can easily learn from. The stories are cringe-worthy, humorous, inspiring, heart-breaking, and full of wisdom--but the author isn't telling the reader what to do with that wisdom. He's letting the reader learn along with him as he's gradually becoming more self-aware, increasingly grateful for his wife, and surprised to discover what God is doing in the middle of it all.

A professor of psychiatry and human behavior offers up a positive, humorous marriage guide for husbands that plays to their strengths. Dr. Scott Haltzman, Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University, has devised a proven method for improving relationships, based on a man’s special and unique skills, strengths, powers—as a responsible and motivated worker, manager, leader, problem-solver, partner, husband, and father. Men are different, Dr. Haltzman says. They don’t approach relationships with the same skills and techniques that women do—and viva la difference. In The Secrets of Happily Married Men, Dr. Haltzman presents eight proven techniques that he developed from his research and through the confidential correspondence to his highly successful website, including: · Make Your Marriage Your Job · Know Your Wife · Be Home Now · Expect Conflict and Deal with It · Learn to Listen · Aim to Please · Understand the Truth About Sex · Celebrate Your Love Written in a humorous and entertaining style, the book provides specific analysis, guidelines, and techniques that are based on male biology, neuroscience, brain differences, and unique developmental stages from youth to seniority. In addition, The Secrets of Happily Married Men contains compelling true stories, anecdotes, and confessions written by and for men (and the women who love them). Praise for The Secrets of Happily Married Men “Lively and entertaining, this broad guidebook provides Haltzman's insights illuminated by anecdotes from his online discussion forum for married men.” —Psychology Today “Haltzman . . . launches his eight strategies with remarkable vigor. More important, they are extraordinarily well fleshed out and convincingly supported with useful “to do” lists and a multitude of examples. They will no doubt prove helpful to many men struggling to build a happy marriage.” —Publishers Weekly

Marriage, love and sex are topics that garner a lot of attention from various writers, and rightly so, as these topics are juicy enough to satisfy any appetite for a good read. Weddings, invariably a tangible manifestation of Marriage, Love and Sex, are just as interesting. These events are a beast in and unto themselves and can provide enough drama to fill all the national libraries of the world. So although this book does touch on issues pertaining to sex, love and marriage, they are all tied to the wedding context. Therefore, the issues that happen before the wedding, during the wedding and unusual tips on how to preserve relationships are all dovetailed to produce these wedding confessions.This book will instigate discussions and arguments in book clubs, amongst the girls and amongst the guys, but don't take it too seriously; unless of course you want to.The writer speaks directly to the women, but, it's a book applicable to both genders especially if navigating a relationship or getting married and provides a bit of empowerment. It is a candid, funny, irreverent but very honest look at the wedding process and some of the situations that affect and influence this supposedly wonderful affair.If you're already married some of these stories will look ridiculously familiar while if you're about to get married, you'll pray that it's a complete work of outlandishly contrived fiction.

You may think you’re too old to run fast, but you’re not too old to run well. When the lead runner starts his final lap in a long-distance race, the starter fires his pistol for the second time. This signals the start of the gun lap—the last chance to leave it all out on the track. “Gun Lap” is for men who are running their last lap. Or maybe younger men who are looking ahead to their gun lap, but want to live the rest of their lives with purpose and strength. This is no small thing. In fact, it’s a big deal, because we only get one chance at this life. The author of the New Testament book of Hebrews agrees...wrote, “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (12:1 CSB). Perseverance. No word better describes the goal of this race…every lap…including the last one. “Gun Lap” will help you pay close attention to the strides you have left.

Confessions of an Alien is a story about alienation. The narrator, Josh Carew, is an alien in his homeland, Ireland. He is exiled by choice to various parts of the former British Empire, seeking to come to terms with the dilemmas in his life. On his return to Ireland, he describes his moral distress with a frankness and honesty that may shock his readers. He is disenchanted with politics and the galloping secularisation, which he views as the ruination of the country. Being of old Puritan stock, he asserts that only righteousness can uplift the nation. He cannot lie, nor can he accommodate to the mindset of the ungodly and materialistic people who rule the world. He is a pilgrim in an alien land and his confessions describe the dark night of his soul. His musings are a frontal assault on the Modern World and on the ghastly state that he refers to as the 'New Ireland'. Confessions of an Alien is partly a tale of adventure and partly a series of confessions. The story and the confessions are interwoven in a seamless narrative. The frank confessions focus on social, religious, and political issues. Josh sees himself as a moral man who knows the difference between right and wrong. He is shocked to find that the line between right and wrong has disappeared in the New Ireland. He sees a nation that has lost its values and he blames it on rampant greed, corruption, galloping secularism and neo-liberalism. Some readers may not like his rants and internal monologues. His views will probably offend secularists, politicians, churchmen, feminists, and media people. Josh could not care less. He speaks his mind with the forthrightness of an Old Testament prophet.
