Paperback

Description: Best-selling author of The 5 Love Languages® Gary Chapman shares the pathway to creating happy-hearted, unbreakable, whole families!

You have hopes and dreams for your family. Yet, it's easy to become overwhelmed and discouraged. Strong, healthy families are possible and do exist. But they do not happen without help and support. To establish vibrant, well-founded patterns in your own family, you will need to learn how to recognize and apply the qualities that healthy families share.

Dr. Gary Chapman shows us how to have a loving, stable family. What are the five timeless characteristics that create a healthy family environment? Through personal stories, Gary teaches us about:

• Husband and wives who love one another
• Husbands who love, support, and lead
• Families who serve
• Parents who guide
• Children who obey and honor their parents

Communication is getting harder. An online resource to help walk parents through the practical implementation of these teachings is free with this book. 5 Traits of a Healthy Family is an essential resource for all parents committed to developing happy, other-focused, bonded families.
