About this listen
Backed by neuroscience and biblical principles, this book delivers a therapeutic model for couples who want to stop the painful patterns that harm their marriage so that they can build a stronger connection.
When Ron and Nan Deal suffered the devastating loss of their child, their marriage was nearly shattered by their destructive cycles. At wits' end, they sought the help of pioneering therapists Dr. Terry Hargrave and Sharon Hargrave, LMFT, whose transformational Restoration Therapy has helped millions through the practice of emotional mindfulness.
Now, the Deals and Hargraves introduce listeners to this proven method that challenges popular beliefs about how relationships work. They show listeners how to better understand themselves in times of emotional distress, so that they can self-regulate. Christian listeners will especially appreciate the balance of scientifically proven methods along with Scripturally sound teaching, resulting in more loving, faithful marital relationships.

Every relationship has its highs and lows, but we often don't know what to do with our "lows," or how we ended up there. What is creating friction, exacerbating our pain, and standing in the way of intimacy? More often than not, it is the stories of our past drifting into the present. But if we are willing to look at them closely, we will be able to write a new story for the future. With more than seventy years of therapeutic experience combined, Dan Allender and Steve Call demonstrate how God is inviting you and your partner to a wild faith journey with the hope of transformation.

If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that by and large the church has failed women. From sexual abuse scandals involving high-profile pastors, to decades-long systemic cover-ups of sexual harassment and mistreatment, to harmful theology that has driven women to leave the church and find community elsewhere, it's clear that something is broken. If we want to fix it, it's time we start listening.

Story
What if the longing we feel is a sign of God’s longing for us? Thirsting is a deeply spiritual exploration of a life-changing truth: only when we learn to live in the ache of our thirst instead of running from it will we know the joy of receiving God in every part of our lives. We may be able to imagine God saving us, using us, and even loving us—but wanting us? Pursuing us? Longing for us? And yet, as spiritual director Strahan Coleman teaches, God’s greatest desire is to commune with us in the depths of our souls.

Story
The pain that happened to you is real . . . and it matters immensely. The notion of healing what you can’t erase is not about ignoring the devastation of your past or putting a glossy, positive spin on current tragedy. That plastic version of faith isn’t actually faith; it’s unbelief. Healing What You Can’t Erase offers a far better solution—a road map for moving forward through the losses and scars by allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to transform us . . . spirit, soul, and body.

Story
Do you beat yourself up when what you feel doesn’t align with the person you think you should be? You “should” be a good friend, but you feel hurt by past betrayals. You “should” be content, but you feel lonely or unfulfilled. You “should” have faith, but you feel discouraged by unanswered prayers. Instead of working through these inner tensions, you guilt-trip or gaslight yourself, which just leaves you feeling stuck, defeated, and trapped by conflicting feelings. But there is another path.

Story
Many Christian books talk about sexual issues within broader works on marriage, but few resources comprehensively and biblically guide couples specifically on sexual intimacy. God, Sex, and Your Marriage challenges the common assumptions couples have about sexuality and presents the richer biblical narrative of sex as a metaphor of God’s covenant love. Dr. Juli Slattery applies that biblical framework to the practical challenges in sexual intimacy. Godly sexuality extends far beyond sexual purity and calls us to sexual integrity.

Great narrator!..😎👍
Over all, very practical, and made a lot of sense! ..🙏👍
Self Regulation, and communication with your spouse and even other relationships, in time, I feel could be very beneficial, if they are open to it!? ..🤔
But even if they aren't, you can still be at peace with yourself, and God, knowing that it's not other people that can give us what we long for, ..it's God and God alone!.🙏👍
He made us, and knows us even better than we can ever know our selves! . 🤔👍
So I choose to allow Him to mold and make me into the person He has chosen for me to be, and to be the most useful conduit I can be, for all those that don't know Him curently, and to possiblely come to know Him because, or in spite of the experiences in this life, and how I have chosen to process them, with Humility and Grace, because of what Jesus has done for me! ..🙏👍
One Day at a time Sweet Jesus, and applying the 4 steps of self regulation! ..🙏👍..Time and Application will tell all things! ..🙏👍
May God Bless all of you for sharing your hearts and struggles, with all those who will dare to listen, and or read, and Apply the 4 main principles laid out in this book, as we eventually Learn to Self Regulate, and became Transformed, by the Renewing of our minds, that we may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable, and perfect...in His eyes!..🙏👍
The Mindful Marriage, 2 thumbs up!...🙏👍👍😁
Insightful, practical, and makes good sense!.👍😁

This book is not about quick fixes—it’s about cultivating a marriage that reflects Christ through mindful choices, healthy communication, emotional maturity, and servant-hearted love. Ron’s insights are practical, yet deeply rooted in Scripture, making each chapter both relatable and spiritually enriching.
What I especially appreciated is how Ron speaks to the real-life complexities that couples face—especially remarried couples—without judgment, offering encouragement, hope, and tools to move forward together with grace. It reminded me that a strong marriage doesn’t just happen; it’s built daily through intentionality, prayer, and mutual surrender to the Lord.
Whether you’re newly married, remarried, or in a season of refining, The Mindful Marriage will bless your journey. It’s a must-read for anyone seeking to build a Christ-centered, emotionally healthy, and lasting relationship.
Relationship Savior!
