Welcome!
I Welcome You To My Website With The Hope That You Will Find It Both Informative And Helpful.
In a time when marriages are being attacked on every side, we need to stand together to encourage and help one another. I have been working in the areas of adultery recovery and prevention for over forty years and have seen many couples successfully work through the pain and devastation of adultery. That material is collected in Torn Asunder and the Torn Asunder Workbook which will guide couples as they tackle the necessary healing, forgiveness, and restoration of respect and trust. There is hope.
To those couples who haven’t gone thru adultery, I would say, you must build a strong attachment that will help you weather the normal storms and avoid the pitfalls. Anatomy of an Affair, was written with that prevention in mind.
We all bring family of origin issues into our marriages. Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” (John 8:32), and it is for this reason that the book, Unlocking Your Family Patterns was put together. He is the Truth, and He wants us to understand the influence of our histories on ourselves, our spouses, and our children.
May God richly bless your marriage,
Dave
