Publisher's summary

Many feel bombarded by images and experiences of broken families.

This is not how God intended families to be! So often we examine the traits of unhealthy families, but Gary Chapman paints a biblical portrait of what a loving, stable family looks like. Chapman details five timeless characteristics that create a healthy family environment.

Doesn't follow any research

Dr. Chapman is great but here its just his parenting views and sadly not anything is based on research.

Its good old boy parenting of spank them because my parents did. All his opinion nothing based on research.

He uses his kids as the models of his superior parenting.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
