Five Signs of a Loving Family

We’ve all heard about dysfunctional families. Their struggles are the topic of TV shows, best-selling books, and popular magazines. Everyday something else that parents or children do is labeled ‘dysfunctional.’ Are the world’s problems destined to become our own? How can we make sure we are part of the solution – not the problem? According to respected marriage counselor Gary Chapman, we can still make the dream of loving families come true. Just as bankers study authentic bills if they want to spot counterfeits, we can learn how to make our own families ‘work’ by studying successful ones. In <EM>Five Signs of a Loving Family</EM>, Dr. Chapman suggest that service, love, leadership, teaching and obedience are the hallmarks of lasting families. And he prescribes practical ways to help every family member nurture these traits. His words are powerful encouragement for parents and children alike. (Formerly titled <EM>Five Signs of a Functional Family</EM>.)
