The Marriage Gap How to Understand, Communicate, and Meet Your Spouse's Four Deepest Needs

Most couples donâ (TM)t drift apart because they stop caring. They drift apart because they stop understanding.

The Marriage Gap gives you a practical framework for building, or rebuilding, the intimacy, joy, and fulfillment your marriage was made for.

Built on four complementary needs, both his and hers, this raw, real, wholly original marriage book features eight candid conversations between husband and wife Devin and Kim Schadt about what men and women truly want and why. To broaden their own experiences and perspectives, Devin and Kim interviewed a range of Catholic couples from diverse backgrounds across the United States and wove their voices into every discussion.

The result is an exploration that will make you laugh and well up with tears and, most importantly, will challenge you to grow.

Rooted in Scripture, the wisdom of the saints, and simple spiritual practices, The Marriage Gap gives you tools you can use right away, including:

• Three core principles to foster marital fidelity and trust
• Communication exercises to grow in spousal knowledge, love, and respect
• The Five Aâ (TM)s of listening (Yes, there will be a pop quiz)
• The secret that fuels a thriving marriage
• Five ways to make your wife feel secure in your love
• Five ways to show your husband respect and help him grow in confidence
• Four things that cultivate closeness, and practical guidance on kindling sexual intimacy

Too often, spouses do not intentionally neglect one another; rather, they simply fail to see each other from a common perspective. Misunderstandings arise, needs go unnoticed, and good intentions get lost in the busyness of daily life. But when couples have a framework to identify, understand, and address their spousesâ (TM) needs, they gain the opportunity to know one another and build the deep, joyful, enduring marriage theyâ (TM)ve always longed for.

Itâ (TM)s time to take the next step in your most important relationship. Read The Marriage Gap, discover your spouseâ (TM)s four primary needs, and unlock a deeper level of connection, trust, and love in your marriage.
