For far less than an ounce of gold, but with greater value, “Pure Gold: Encouraging Character Qualities in Marriage” is a marriage enrichment guide like you’ve never seen before! Pure Gold focuses on enhancing and empowering marriages to be high quality, lasting, and precious. It is designed as a useful tool for married and unmarried couples, singles interested in marriage, parents, relationship professionals, religious leaders/clergy, and workshop leaders.
Authors Susanne M. Alexander and Craig A. Farnsworth are certified PREPARE/ENRICH marriage educators and authors of “Marriage Can Be Forever--Preparation Counts!” “Character is the root and foundation of all actions and behavior in any relationship,” states Alexander, “and marriage researchers, such as John M. Gottman, Ph.D., have found that attacking one another’s character is highly destructive and can lead to divorce and destruction of any relationship.”
This newest release from the Marriage Transformation™ Project focuses on the practical and useful character qualities that support couples in maintaining their marriages. No matter what difficulties couples face in their relationships, applying one or more of the character qualities can transform the situation. “Pure Gold” offers insights into 52 character qualities that are especially valuable in marriage, such as being kind when a spouse is not at his/her best, being courageous when facing a challenge together, and being truthful and trustworthy to address dishonesty or miscommunication in a marriage.
Charlie Michaels, co-author of “Mastering Re-Marriage” says, “Our world desperately needs the results “Pure Gold” can help couples achieve: strong, lasting, loving marriages.” Paul Coleman, Psy.D., author of “How to Say It for Couples: Communicating with Tenderness, Openness, and Honesty” says, “I have been happily married to my wife Jody for 22 years, a marriage therapist for 20 years, and the author of several books on marriage and family life. Yet I was learning new things as I devoured the pages of Susanne and Craig’s latest book. “Pure Gold” is a pure gift—engaging, wise, and chock full of ideas that can be immediately put into action and make your marriage a pure joy.”
“Pure Gold” builds on the excellent foundational work of The Virtues Project International (www.virtuesproject.com). It includes insights and quotes from the Scriptures of many world religions, including the Bahá’í Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, and Zoroastrianism, and from other sources.
