If you're married, you already know that opposites attract. But on your wedding day, could you have imagined how different the two of you really were? More important, if the stars have fallen from your eyes, is there still hope? Tim LaHaye applies his tried and tested 'temperament' approach to the art of understanding your mate - and yourself. 'With God's help and your cooperation,' he writes, 'any two people, regardless of their contrasting temperaments, background and training, can adjust to their opposite partner and build a beautiful, fulfilling relationship for a lifetime. Identifies four basic personality types to offer easy-to-use steps for building dynamic and sustained relationships, offering counsel for couples on maximizing strengths, adjusting to differences, and recognizing God's role in a marriage.
