Book Description
Want to strengthen your marriage? Here is something different than your typical devotional book! It combines humor with serious Bible study and discussion questions. Designed for married couples, this devotional is based on a collection of humorous conversations between a husband and wife in their "golden" years after more than three decades of marriage. As we grow old, our memories fade, our hair falls out, and we get more quirks that oftentimes irritate our spouse. The author has found humor in this process of growing old together, and he shares some of that humor with his readers. The content for each devotional is a comical conversation (Laugh Together) with a related Bible passage, a devotional (Read Together), some serious discussion questions to work through (Discuss Together), a longer Bible passage for further study (Study Together), and an invitation to pray together as a couple (Pray Together). The comical conversations are designed to make you laugh, because the author believes what the Bible says: "A joyful heart is good medicine." The unique combination of a comic and a Christian devotional makes this book both humorous and serious. This devotional book is ideal for couples who have been married for a long time because they will be most able to relate to the conversations. However, even newlyweds or single persons should be able to appreciate the humor of growing old together and learn from the devotionals and Bible studies. There are 52 devotionals, one for each week for a year. Enjoy!Additional Bible studies, devotionals, articles, books, and more can be found at the author's Christian Faith Grower website: www.christianfaithgrower.com.

Couple Relationships in the Middle and Later Years
Author: Jamila Bookwala
Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA)
ISBN: 9781433822094
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Today's older couples often look and function differently than those of yesteryear. Lifespans have increased, while many health challenges remain. Retirement, spousal role equity, and family caregiving needs look different now, and cultural shifts have shaped the prevalence and visibility of non-traditional older relationships, such as same-sex relationships and ""living apart-together"" relationships. With such an increased variety in relationship forms and social contexts, what does the research say about quality? What factors influence the nature and quality of today's older couple relationships, and what are the complex links between relationships and health? In this cutting-edge book, the authors present the latest theoretical, methodological, and empirical perspectives in the field of middle-age and older couple relationships. The chapters cover a broad range of topics, including the impact of health concerns, loneliness, chronic disease management, couple negotiation of everyday tasks, and coping across the lifespan. Implications for couples therapy and policy are included. In short, the book makes a significant stride into understanding the strengths and challenges of older couples.

I Love Growing Older, But I'll Never Grow Old
Author: J. Ellsworth Kalas
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1426755929
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Growing older is a process. Growing old is a conclusion. If you're growing older you see some hope because you have perspective and you keep learning. If you've grown old, you may cynically think that times have never been as bad as they are now, and that they can only get worse. This book is about learning how to "make peace with where you are right now." It's about learning from the past and then moving past it. It's about growing--personally, spiritually, and in our relationships with God and with others. If we think properly about growing older we'll never have to grow old.

Growing Old Together
Author: Robert W. Nero
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 1770707158
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Naturalist, ornithologist, avocational archaeologist and poet, Winnipeg’s Dr. Robert W. Nero has authored nine books dealing with his amazing spectrum of interests. Growing Old Together is the newest collection of poetry by this gifted writer, revealing his sensitivity and keen observation of the natural world. In his frequently passionate poetry Nero pays tribute to his wife, Ruth, who has, over many years, encouraged Bob to write and to pursue his outdoor interests – all the while sharing him with "Lady Grayl," the great gray owl he found injured and starving in 1984. From that time on, Lady Grayl toured with Bob Nero to raise funds for numerous environmental projects and to educate thousands of children and adults about conservation. This remarkable association ended in October of 2005 with the passing of Lady Grayl at age 21.5. It is fitting that Manitoba Day 2005 honoured the Great Gray Owl, the official provincial bird – and, yes, Lady Grayl was involved.
