If there’s any book that’s changed our marriage, it’s How We Love by Milan and Kay Yerkovich. We read it in the early days of Mark and Jill 2.0 and it’s now a resource we use in our marriage coaching.
The home we grew up in helped set our Love Styles in place (these are very different from Love Languages). Love Styles are the relational relating patterns we learned in our childhood that we unknowingly carry into marriage. Understanding how your Love Style does a dance with your spouse’s Love Style can give great insight into recurring challenges in your marriage.
