‘Whoever will not love does not know God, because God is love.’–1 John 4:8

Searching to enrich a wholesome relationship, revitalize a tired one, or save one gone awry? Do you yearn to grow closer to God, and to further incorporate Him and His teachings into the marriage? Most of us want a lifetime of love, support, and faith. But sometimes we are in need of just a little help.

Enter Dr. Sue Johnson, builder of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and ‘the best couple therapist in the world,’ according to about Designed for Connection: The ‘Hold Me Tight’ Guidebook for Christian Couples bestselling relationship professional Dr. John Gottman. In DESIGNED FOR CONNECTION, Dr. Johnson and Kenneth Sanderfer, a respected EFT practitioner in the Christian community, share Johnson’s groundbreaking and remarkably successful plan for creating stronger, more secure human relationships not only between partners, but between us and God.

The message of CREATED FOR CONNECTION is simple: Just forget about learning how to argue better, analyzing your early childhood, or making grand romantic gestures. Rather, reach the emotional underpinnings of your relationship by knowing that you will be attached to and dependent on your partner in quite similar way a kid is on a parent, and we are on the Heavenly Dad, for nurturing, relaxing, and protection. The best way to improve or save our associations with each other and with God is to be open, attuned, responsive, and to reestablish safe emotional connection. Filled with Bible verses, motivating real-life tales, and guidance, DESIGNED FOR CONNECTION will assure an eternity of love.
