Marriage Resources

From a Christian Perspective

Marriage Builders / Marriage Talk radio show

http://www.marriagebuilders.com

Dr. Bill Harley is a pioneer in focusing on fulfilling emotional needs, love bank, policy of joint agreement, and other marriage principles. The site includes a very active forum with a variety of perspectives. Thanks to my Uncle Ray for pointing me towards this one. The radio show is on Mondays only at 1:00 Central time on AM 980 KKMS in the Twin Cities. People: Dr. Willard F. Harley, Jr. and call-in radio listeners.

Bill Harley's books include: 

Fall in Love, Stay in Love - covers most of his concepts
His Needs, Her Needs - emotional needs
Love Busters - negative things we do - especially when emotional needs are not met
Surviving an Affair - coping and reconciliation
Give and Take - emotional needs, love busters, and our givers and takers

Dr. Gary and Barbara Rosberg also believe that unmet emotional needs are the major factor in marriage problems. Their list of needs is slightly different from Dr. Harley (above). Their daily radio show airs locally at 4:00 PM on AM 900 KTIS.

Resources Not Necessarily from a Christian Perspective

Michele authored the best-selling book Divorce Busting. This book is useful even for those without relationship problems. There is a strong emphasis on getting out of ruts and doing just a few things differently for major impact. When we change, others must adapt and change around us. This book was a great source of hope for me in a critical time of my marriage.
