Description
In this practical guide to supporting marriage and family life, Dr. Ball takes on many of the taboo areas of family life with tact and courage. This inaugural book covers many of the issues that bind and bruise families today. From the importance of the extended family to issues of infidelity and recovery, this book is written with our families at the center. It covers raising children in blended families and in a world where technology not only influences but drives much of our lives including the familial and intimate spaces. Issues of sex, sexuality and how to strengthen and repair the marriage bonds are addressed with care and thoughtfulness. The second half of the book moves to developing sensible rituals and routines such as eating together, creating balance between work and family, and the importance of practicing spiritual discipline as a family. The Ties that Bind and Bruise resurrects the need for all stakeholders to do everything in their power to support marriage and family life today because our very future depends on the health and wholeness of our families.
