Backed by neuroscience and biblical principles, this book delivers a therapeutic model for couples who want to stop the painful patterns in troubled relationships as well as healthy marriages, so that they can build a stronger connection.

When Ron and Nan Deal suffered the devastating loss of their child, their marriage was nearly shattered by their destructive cycles. At wits’ end, they sought the help of pioneering therapists Dr. Terry Hargrave and Sharon Hargrave, LMFT, whose transformational Restoration Therapy has helped millions through the practice of emotional mindfulness.  

Now, the Deals and Hargraves introduce readers to this proven method that challenges popular beliefs about how relationships work. They show readers how to better understand themselves in times of emotional distress, so that they can self-regulate. Christian readers will  especially appreciate the balance of scientifically proven methods along with Scripturally sound teaching, resulting in more loving, faithful marital relationships.

  • "Ron and Nan Deal’s deep understanding of neuroscience and how our brains can truly be rewired for love and peace, as well as their foundation of a biblical lens, is a great contribution to this arena. These principles can revolutionize marriages that seem hopeless, as well as make a good marriage even better. Highly recommended!"

  • "Whether your relationship is wounded or winning, The Mindful Marriage reveals a healing path to your 'Us.' It’s powerful. Practical. And breathtakingly honest.

This book is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone looking to deepen their relationship through mindful intentions."
