A happy, healthy marriage doesn't just happen. You must make a conscious effort to be a good helper, companion, and lover to your mate. But God doesn't want you to stop there. His plan for the marriage relationship goes even deeper. He also wants you to be your mate's best friend. And you can be, only if the Lord is an integral part of that relationship. After years of applying the same biblical principle in their counseling ministry, Stephen and Janet Bly present a straight-forward look at God's plan for your marriage. They offer contemporary and biblical models with specific methods to help you achieve a rich, lasting friendship with your mate. Learn how to express love to your mate, unify your parenting views, establish spiritual unity--and keep it, respond to your mate's misfortunes, forgive your mate, and much more. The application of these principle will help men and women who are serious about becoming, and remaining, their mate's best friend.
Your grandchildren may be quite a varied group. Some may still be in diapers, others old enough to have children of their own. Some may live oceans away, others just across the street. But as different as they are, they have at least two things in common. They are each part of your family. And each one would benefit greatly from loving grandparents who are actively involved in their lives. What does it take to be a good grandparent? Though there is no specific passage of Scripture that describes the ideal grandparent, guidance is to be found in the Bible. Stephen and Janet Bly, authors of How to Be a Good Mom and How to Be a Good Dad, will help you find that guidance. The Blys offer dozens of ideas that you can implement today, no matter what your grandchildren's ages or where they live. They include special suggestions for grandparents with divorced children, long-distance grandparents, and grandparents whose time and finances are limited. No matter what your situation, you can help give your grandchildren a sense of security, unconditional acceptance, and love. Being a good grandparent can be lots of fun and can reap eternal rewards for you, your grandchildren, and your entire family. Stephen and Janet Bly are free-lance writers and co-founders of Welcome to the Family Seminars. They have written numerous books including How to Be a Good Mom, How to Be a Good Dad, Be Your Mate's Best Friend, Questions I'd Like to Ask and Devotions with a Difference. Stephen and Janet, along with their three sons, reside in Idaho. They are the grandparents of a grandson, Zachary.
