About this ebook

Love that Counts

Learn to find balance in your own relationship and start to enjoy the benefits of a healthier relationship through the tale of the author’s relationship gone wrong and the psychological theory developed to teach others what the difference between a healthy and unhealthy relationship actually looks like. Since we tend to do what we know in relationships we are inclined to repeat the same relationships over and over while we continue to long for something better, as often what we know is not able to get us what we are looking for. That can change when we understand the implications of our own relational behaviors and the impact it has on ourselves, partner, children and the people around us.
The transition from a healthy relationship into an unhealthy relationship starts when one party loses their voice not with the first bruise. So while God hates divorce, he also hates injustice and anyone ever touched by abuse, knows abuse constitutes gross injustice; as does perpetuating abuse in the name of Christian marriage.

Written as a combination memoir, Christian refection and new relationship theory; ‘Love that Counts’ is a book that will challenge your perceptions and empower you to change your relationships, if you have the courage to do things differently.
Warning – this book has a strong Christian ethos and contains strong language for the sake of accurately depicting destructive relationships.
