so unique is Ed Wheat&rsquo;s approach to marriage and his approach to nurturing love in married couples.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of self-help marriage books focus on the negative, but Wheat&rsquo;s book encourages couples instead to nurture and promote the positive in a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual sense, making it one of the best marriage help books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, Love Life for Every Married Couple features two chapters that specifically focus on the physical aspect of marriage and love.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In &ldquo;Love Life for Every Married Couple&rdquo;, Wheat recognizes the importance of physical attraction as well as physical touch and sensation in any <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">relationship<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, particularly marriage; physical touch and appreciation is all part of the emotional bond required for any solid marriage, and what does not ignore its importance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Love Life for Every Married Couple, the author will walk you through the ways of improving your marriage through sharing, touching, appreciating, and focusing healing attention on your spouse.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It-talks-about-five-different-types-of-love-as-per-the-Greeks\"><\/span>It talks about five different types of love as per the Greeks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Epithumia (strong desire or impulse)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eros (romantic, passionate, and emotional)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storge (love shared by parents and children or siblings)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phileo (companionship, closeness, compassion)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agape (the most unselfish form of love that has the capacity to keep on giving)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking at tools for restoring your marriage or emerging stronger as a couple after experiencing a rough patch in your relationship with your spouse, this book can be your most useful guide.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It-has-a-Christian-message-without-being-preachy\"><\/span>It has a Christian message without being preachy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&rsquo;s not unusual for books about marriage and relationships to be written from a religious standpoint&mdash;after all, religion often plays a huge role in the concept of love and marriage, particularly as they relate to sticking together &lsquo;for better or worse.&rsquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if there is one common criticism lobbied against marriage books written from a Christian standpoint, it&rsquo;s that they have a tendency to become too preachy, especially when it comes to couples who are having difficulty overcoming marriage obstacles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And unfortunately, most people do not respond well to texts that they consider too preachy, especially when they are already going through the emotional stress of a marriage problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wheat&rsquo;s book &ldquo;Love Life for Every Married Couple&rdquo; is refreshing: the Christian message and Christian standpoint are there, but it never feels overwhelming, over the top, or preachy to the reader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In &ldquo;Love Life for Every Married Couple&rdquo;, Wheat recognizes the importance of Christian couples to include a religious context to their problems but never forces the issue in a way that other books do.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Love-Life-for-Every-Married-Couple-%E2%80%93-Where-to-get-it\"><\/span>Love Life for Every Married Couple &ndash;
