Kevin A Thompson: Creation of Us, The, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The healthiest marriages embrace unity and individuality.

Many couples long for a thriving, intimate marriage. Yet, in reality, they're emotionally distant and functionally independent. Others are so enmeshed that their sense of self is entirely lost. Both, however, fall short of God's design where two unique individuals become one while still maintaining the fullness of who they are.

In The Creation of Us, Kevin A. Thompson mines theology and neuroscience to help couples create unity while retaining a healthy sense of their individual identities. Thompson shows how differentiated parts in a healthy brain work together in harmony. This unity with distinction is also a key to a healthy marriage. Looking to the Trinity, the most profound metaphor for marriage, readers explore the dynamic beauty of personal differentiation and unity.

This book proposes that good dependence --a balanced, intentional interdependence--offers the most fulfilling path to true marital health. A thriving marriage doesn't require spouses to dissolve into each other or to remain perpetually separate--it invites them to build something greater than themselves while fully retaining who they are. If you want a more profound connection but don't know how to achieve it, The Creation of Usoffers a clear path forward. Through biblical insight, psychological principles, and real-world experience, this book equips couples with the mindset and skills to cultivate a marriage where both partners flourish as individuals and as a couple.
