Equipping Christian Men for Richer Relationships

Hold Me Tight

Here are some quotes from Sue Johnson, author of Hold Me Tight. Dr. Johnson studied couples and their desire for attachment. Listen to how deeply we desire attachment and the difficulty in forming attachments.

Is there a way through a difficult relationship to enduring love?

I know adults who could not come together in their relationship, and they could not live apart.

In a relationship, there is an emotional drama that entangles the couple.

I have observed couples who would shout and weep, bicker, and shut down.

We have a wired-in need to have someone to depend on, a loved one who can offer reliable emotional connection and comfort.

Children have an innate need for emotional connection. Adults have the same need.

There are key negative and positive emotional moments that define a relationship.

Relationships are a central source of joy and suffering.

Conclusion

We often find ourselves trapped between a Dialogue of Differences and Heavens Love Story.

Prayer

Father, help me to be successful in my relationship. Bless me with wisdom and knowledge. Help me love like Jesus. Amen.

Bible

Above all, constantly echo, God’s, intense love for one another, for love will be a canopy over a multitude sins. – 1 Peter 4:8 (Passion)
