Mad About Us: Moving from Anger to Intimacy with Your Spouse
Gary and Carrie Oliver have written a practical book to help
couples focus their passion in ways that lead to trust,
understanding, and intimacy. They want Christian couples to develop
Christ-centered marriages, and that includes dealing with issues
that prevent intimacy such as fear, frustration, and anger. They
demonstrate how the energy--or passion--of the God-given emotion
anger can actually be harnessed in ways that build and strengthen a
marriage relationship and free couples from one of Satan's most
destructive weapons--unhealthy anger.
"For more than a quarter of a century Dr. Gary Oliver has pioneered
and served the needs of pre-married and married couples nationwide.
I know Gary to be a good man and an authentic man who has
faithfully loved and cared for the needs of his wife, Carrie, as
she has battled cancer for the last couple of years. There is no
greater statement of a man's life than the private love and
commitment that he shows for his wife."--Dennis Rainey
"Dr. Gary Oliver is not only my key mentor in life, but the person
who actually helped me really understand what's beneath the power
of anger and what you can do about it."--Gary Smalley
