The Honeymoon Habit is a book for couples who realize that staying in love takes more than a set of life skills. It is an act of the imagination. You once pursued each other with energy and passion. The four images of lover, partner, companion and friend can be re-imagined and re-dreamed and can restore the original energy of your relationship. They can sustain you when the going gets tough and your dreams are tested. They can propel you back into the future you once dreamed. The Honeymoon Habit is a great resource for couples who have been married for a while and who want to renew and sustain their commitment to one another.

Catholic Remarriage is a workbook for couples preparing for remarriage or seeking convalidation in the Catholic Church. The workbook contains eight units that can be adapted to a variety of settings and circumstances. While these units are designed for use in counseling individual couples, they are readily adaptable for use with small groups or even couple-to-couple programs. The units help the couple explore their relationship within the context of sacramental marriage and the Church's commitment to the good of both the couple and the sacrament. The simple, yet provocative exercises reach into the depths of a couple's relationship while protecting their privacy.
