by David Hawkins

Overview

Get Ready for the Love of a Lifetime

In Journey Together, bestselling author Dr. David Hawkins gives you a roadmap to a romance that endures. A licensed clinical psychologist and marriage counselor with more than 40 years of experience, he’s seen firsthand that a healthy, happy marriage can stand the test of time—but it requires intentional pursuit and a receptive, ready heart.

Whether you and your spouse are newlyweds or you’ve been together for decades, your connection will be strengthened as Dr. Hawkins teaches you to…

• make the unhesitating, continual decision to appreciate the person you’ve married
• receive constructive criticism well—and put your spouse’s feedback into action
• champion emotional maturity and clear communication in your relationship
