The Love List, by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott
ZondervanTM ISBN 0-310-24850-7
Are you a married couple enjoying your love life to its fullest, or have
you been lulled into a mediocre marriage that will never reach its potential?
If you answer yes to the second part of this question, then this is the book for you!
In the introduction Les and Leslie cite research which has shown that "people
who make a tangible list and keep it handy are far more likely to achieve their
goals than others who have the very same desires but don’t make a list." (page 13)
Subtitled "Eight Little Things That Make a Big Difference in Your Marriage" Les
and Leslie present a strategic plan of eight simple-but-powerful, instantly usable
principles that will lift your marriage out of the doldrums into everything you’ve
wanted it to be-full of joyous love and truly fulfilling.
The Love List-or eight healthy habits as the authors call them-is detailed in
eight, easy to read, application oriented chapters:
