Why is it so difficult to connect with, or even get along with, certain people especially the ones you care about the most? You can't seem to put your finger on it, but something is getting in the way. You've invested yourself in relationships time and again and time and again you've been disappointed, discouraged, or deeply hurt. Yet you know what you want: a fulfilling, safe, loving relationship with your spouse, your child, your parents, your siblings, your friends. So how do you create satisfying relationships? Where do you begin? Drs. Tim Clinton and Gary Sibcy believe that, for each of us, our present relationships are influenced by our first "attachments" or bonds with people in early childhood. Consequently, understanding your pattern of relating to others what the authors call your "attachment style" is the cornerstone for building satisfying relationships with the people you love. In this book, Clinton and Sibcy help you identify and define your first attachments. They then lead you to discover... - how to get free from the mistakes of the past - guidance for connecting with those closest to you - practical tools to help you avoid negative patterns of relating - what kind of people best nurture your soul - your personal pathway to healthy bonding with God and others Life is short. Attachments will take you on a journey of self-discovery. A journey toward learning to love others in godly, selfless ways. A journey that will, in turn, help you receive the love you've always dreamed of.
