Deciding to Love
by Rainie Howard

What is supposed to be love in those rare moments actually feels more like pain. You’re supposed to be happy and, on the outside, everything looks good, but the truth is, deep down inside, you are wondering if it will last.

What do you do when the love fades, when the commitment wavers, and when you’re not sure if you will stay in a relationship? How do you endure the challenges of the heart and the feelings of frustration that make you want to quit?

How do you get through the hurtful emotions, the resentment, and the fears that hold you hostage? How do you stop replaying the disappointing past that seems to define your present moment? But you do really love him. It’s just chaotic at times. Most days, things are calm and smooth. But then come the stormy times when the wrong button is pushed, and the atmosphere changes to such an extent that you don’t recognize him anymore. He becomes a stranger to you.

You don’t recognize yourself anymore; you’re shaken up and fearful. You’re confused and uncertain of what’s next. You don’t know why things blow up so badly, and the rage, pain, and anger get out of control. Where does it come from?

Where has it been hiding all this time, and when will it make a comeback? Will the next time be worse? Are you struggling to decide if you should stay or end your relationship? Get your questions answered…

This book shows everyone—Christians, skeptics, singles, longtime married couples, and those about to be engaged—how to enjoy a loving, healthy, happy relationship. Learn practices to enhance your intimacy and nurture closeness.
