You can put the spark back in your marriage. Did you realize that knowing the true purpose of marriage can rekindle the fire in your relationship? In The Spark, the founders of one of the country's fastest-growing marriage conferences offer that--and more. Jay and Laura Laffoon tackle the biggest obstacles to intimacy in marriage with an irresistible combination of humor and wisdom. While many people think intimacy is all about sex, the Laffoons identify five facets that are vital to a healthy marriage. Men and women approach intimacy differently, but understanding the differences can result in greater closeness and a deeper appreciation of each other. The Laffoons fearlessly share their own experiences, as well as informative, real-life stories gleaned from their survey of more than two thousand married couples. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter help you develop positive action steps to ignite your marriage and keep the flame burning. Whether you're seeking to better understand your spouse or hoping to recapture lost magic, your relationship can reach another level with this practical guide.
