This set includes The Five Love Languages and Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married.

A newly designed love languages assessment will help you understand and strengthen your relationship. You can build a lasting, loving marriage together.

It’s the type of information Gary himself wished he had before he got married. The material lends itself to heart-felt discussions by dating or engaged couples. To jump-start the exchanges, each short chapter includes insightful “Talking it Over” questions and suggestions. And, the book includes information on interactivewebsites as well as books that will enhance the couples experience. Dr. Chapman even includes a thought-provoking appendix.

'I loved this book from beginning to end ****' The Sun When Claire Cooper was 15 she'd swear on her Wham! album that: big hair and rah-rah skirts were here to stay; Spandau Ballet would never split up; she would marry her idol, heart-throb footballer Andy Pailes.

Things I Wish I’D Known at 13: or Maybe Even Sooner by Loujaden Gladys Pdf

There are things I feel every female should be taught as they grow into young women, things they will value their entire lives. It would seem like common sense that the most important and especially sensitive things females should know would come from the females closest to them. But sometimes, that just doesnt happen and the information comes from people you meet on your journey through life. Ive had some wonderful female mentors, teachers, friends and role models over the years whove helped me through things only another female can. With the use of technology, especially cell phones, people have lost some basic communication skills over the years. Many people dont even like to talk, they would rather text or send an email. But so much is lost in translation with these methods. My belief is that young people truly want to be guided, even though they may act like they dont and rebel and fight against it at times. But when they dont get this guidance at all, or see that adults are reluctant to address certain things or worse avoid any conflict or difficult situations at all by just giving them whatever they want or turning a blind eye, teens lose even more respect for adults. So, I felt the need to find a way to provide some of this guidance in a format thats easy to access, understand, share and use. They are things I would readily communicate to any young woman Id meet. They are things I wish had been shared with me when I was developing into a young woman. My goal is to help with the good, the bad, and some of the in between. And also help possibly take away some of the confusion, frustration and upsets of the beginning stages of becoming a woman.

Homie by Danez Smith Pdf

FINALIST FOR THE 2020 NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR POETRY FINALIST FOR THE 2021 NAACP IMAGE AWARD FOR POETRY Danez Smith is our president Homie is Danez Smith’s magnificent anthem about the saving grace of friendship. Rooted in the loss of one of Smith’s close friends, this book comes out of the search for joy and intimacy within a nation where both can seem scarce and getting scarcer. In poems of rare power and generosity, Smith acknowledges that in a country overrun by violence, xenophobia, and disparity, and in a body defined by race, queerness, and diagnosis, it can be hard to survive, even harder to remember reasons for living. But then the phone lights up, or a shout comes up to the window, and family—blood and chosen—arrives with just the right food and some redemption. Part friendship diary, part bright elegy, part war cry, Homie is the exuberant new book written for Danez and for Danez’s friends and for you and for yours.
