The Baby Analogy of Marriage

Synopsis: One signifi cant thing we have in common is relationships. Whether family, friends, business, academic, religious, or romantic relationships, we all desire to connect with people with whom we can share laughter, friendship, work, caring, and support through the good times and the hard times in life. There are, however, various life dynamics that either hinder or foster the fulfillment of these desires. Examples of these are:

• Self-esteem
• Family Upbringing
• Personal growth and development
• Our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
• How we experience the love languages
• How we manage and resolve conflicts (whether we accommodate, abdicate, dictate, or collaborate)
• Our adaptability to the seasons and stages of life and marriage
• And much more

In this book, I elaborate on these dynamics and how they impact our lives and relationships; share practical perspectives and approaches that I've learned from human experiences, the bible, life coaching resources, and counseling materials.
