Synopsis

"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." -- 1 John 4:8

Are you looking to enrich a healthy relationship, revitalize a tired one, or rescue one gone awry? Do you yearn to grow closer to God, and to further incorporate Him and His teachings into your marriage? We all want a lifetime of love, support, and faith. But sometimes we need a little help.

Enter Dr. Sue Johnson, developer of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and "the best couple therapist in the world," according to bestselling relationship expert Dr. John Gottman. In Created For Connection, Dr. Johnson and Kenneth Sanderfer, a leading EFT practitioner in the Christian community, share Johnson's groundbreaking and remarkably successful program for creating stronger, more secure relationships not only between partners, but between us and God.

The message of Created For Connection is simple: Forget about learning how to argue better, analyzing your early childhood, or making grand romantic gestures. Instead, get to the emotional underpinnings of your relationship by recognizing that you are attached to and dependent on your partner in much the same way that a child is on a parent, and we are on the Heavenly Father, for nurturing, soothing, and protection. The way to enhance or save our relationships with each other and with God is to be open, attuned, responsive, and to reestablish safe emotional connection. Filled with Bible verses, inspiring real-life stories, and guidance, Created For Connection will ensure a lifetime of love.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. And I'm so glad I did! My husband and I are currently in marriage counseling to try to strengthen our marriage.

Goodreads review by Oliver

I am so glad this was my first book read in 2017. As a pastor, this is truly an excellent book that goes well beyond the pastoral need for expertise in handling married couples in crisis or even enriching marriages. The science that Sue Johnson has developed, apart from faith, so obviously reveals t......more

Goodreads review by Robyn

I find books that teach relationship work, very interesting. This one was recommended and is unique. This version of it has a spiritual side to it which I loved! The last 25% was the best, explaining the value of a good marriage and how and why to stay motivated! Probably better to read but we liste......more

Goodreads review by Kelsey

We walked through this book with 4 couples (one of which is a counselor + Christian that hosted this meet up) which was super sweet! The information in this book is really helpful if there is emotional disconnection. I do wish the authors would have shown in these “conversations” that this is hard w......more
