Most couples and families I work with want a “big reveal” in their relationships similar to the big reveals on popular home improvement television shows.  Those big reveals are of beautifully renovated homes.  As couples and families, our big reveals are more kindness, increased gratitude, improved communication, more loving expressions of affection, less anger, more forgiveness etc.

What improvements do you want to make at home?

But let’s talk about you specifically.  What is it you want to work on with your spouse or significant other?  What about with your children?  Little changes?  Big changes?

We wrote The DIY Family book for you!

Dr. Gary Chapman and I were thinking about you when we were planning and writing our new book.  The book is called The DIY Guide to Building a Family That Lasts.  In it, we cover 12 “home improvement” tools, or relationship-building tools, that we believe you need to accomplish the big reveals you’re looking for in your home life.  And, we do this all through a fun, relatable play on the home improvement metaphor.

More than just fun and relatable though, the book is written in a really smart and practical way (yes I’m biased, but it is).  We know you’re super busy, and so we tried to get to the point quickly in “real people” kinds of ways.  Hopefully you’ll see and feel our experience and our love for you coming through loud and clear!
