The Making of a Mindful Marriage: Mindfulness for Christian Couples

By Ted W Raddell PH D

Many people who are married feel they love their spouse but can't seem to get along with them creating frustration, distance, and sometimes, divorce. The problem often lies in a universal tendency to react to each other's reactions. It may be my spouses words, facial expressions, or tone of voice that completely derails a well-meaning conversation. At other times, worries about a miserable future spousal relationship or getting stuck in past hurts destroys the emotional closeness they desire. Mindfulness, the gift of your full presence, is a powerful antidote to these common stumbling blocks. In practicing the skills contained in this easy-to-read book, you will gain greater mastery of mindfulness. Learning to be more mindful in your marriage will empower you to become more responsive rather than reactive and more emotionally available rather than checked-out. Not only will mindfulness enable you to communicate more effectively, it will help you learn how to love your spouse as he or she deserves to be loved. I commend you for answering God's call to love one another. Your willingness to "make a mindful marriage" will decrease conflict, improve intimacy and foster closeness and resilience that will be a blessing to you and your family for years to come!
