In his book The Family You've Always Wanted, Dr. Gary Chapman provides practical help on how to be a loving leader in the home. Following the example of Jesus, Christian leadership focuses on meeting the needs of the wife and children.

Dr. Gary Chapman provides some strategies to help you get your husband to read The 5 Love Languages book.

The greatest value you can place on a relationship is to invest in people rather than things.

Your love language doesn't change during the time you're dating or after your marriage. But with the arrival of children, there'll be a season where your affection might be directed more to your child than to your spouse.

Our culture (sometimes even in the church) is focused on meeting our own needs.  True fulfillment in life comes by investing yourself in other people's lives.

If your husband has walked out on you, begin praying that the Holy Spirit will convict him of his sin. If he repents, it's possible to begin the reconciliation process.

A couple never enters marriage hoping to fail, but we often fail in applying Biblical principles to our roles as a couple. Only by the power of the Holy Spirit can we begin to align our lives with Scripture.

Silence between separated spouses is quite common. It takes both spouses to communicate, but it only takes one to initiate the process.

Should a married couple choose to attend separate churches? It's not necessarily wrong, but it's not advisable. If neither of them want to attend the other's church, it might helpful for them to agree to visit other churches that neither one of them are currently attending. They might end up finding a church that both can agree on.

When one spouse is a social person while the other is an introvert, it can often lead to doing things separately. This drifting apart is not healthy. Both spouses need to take steps in each other's direction - making these differences more manageable.
