Romantic Love: Using Your Head in Matters of the Heart

by James C. Dobson

In a concise, easy-to-read format, well-known Christian psychologist, speaker, author, radio and television personality Dr. James Dobson talks honestly and openly about what love is-and what it isn't; the joy and beauty of sex in marriage, and the destruction and heartbreak of sex outside of marriage. A true or false quiz, followed by brief discussions of each question and answer, emphasizes and explains the most common misconceptions of love. A learning-discussion section, containing questions and scripture references to be used individually or in a group setting, follows the discussion on romantic love. Highlighted with call-outs and a section discussing the "Interpretations of Impressions," this practical yet hard-hitting book ends with a poignant letter from Dr. Dobson to his beloved wife, Shirley.

Un excelente libro. Me gustó mucho la manera en como el autor desarrolla el tema en base a los 10 mitos del amor romántico.

Sin duda es un libro que recomendaría a cualquiera que desee aprender más sobre cómo construir una relación de pareja más estable y duradera.
