Loading... It Happens Every Spring (The Four Seasons of a Marriage Series #1)by Catherine Palmer, Gary D. Chapman
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  SueinCyprus | Jan 26, 2016 |   One important thing that I learnt was how it feels when you're working on the relationship with your spouse. You really need to stuff up your own opinion and give them what they want. Even though you might be feeling one thing you need to keep your partners needs above yours when you're trying to repair the marriage. And all the while he'll be unappreciative of your efforts with more criticism which makes it harder but you still need to push through all that. Besides that I've already read the five love languages. So this was easy to get through. (  ) MugenHere | Jul 12, 2015 | sroot | Aug 19, 2007 |  ) cmragle | Mar 13, 2007 | no reviews | add a review

HTML:Meet the characters that live, work, dream, and love in the community of Deepwater Cove. Best-selling authors Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer team up to show how four married couples, all in different stages in life, experience the joys and hardships of marriage as examined in Gary Chapman's The Four Seasons of Marriage. In book one, Steve and Brenda face a common problem among middle-age couples: empty nest syndrome. Steve works too much, and with their two children out of the house, Brenda feels lonely and unfulfilled. In order to save their marriage, the two must learn to reconnect. Readers are also introduced to many charming characters, like Cody, the mentally challenged homeless man that shows up on Steve and Brenda's porch; Pete, who owns the Rods 'N' Ends tackle shop; and Patsy Pringle, who owns the Just As I Am beauty parlor, where much of the action takes place. The series is based on the marriage principles found in Gary Chapman's non-fiction book The Four Seasons of Marriage. Similar in tone and light-hearted, quirky humor as Jan Karon's Mitford series, Fannie Flagg's books or Steel Magnolias. Each book has a study guide that talks about the four seasons of marriage and the healing strategies depicted in that volume's story. No library descriptions found. |

It's light, and the characters aren't particularly well developed, but the writing is good and the story interesting. I found some of the argument scenes almost painful in their realism, although the points about different love languages and lack of communication were made rather too obviously at times.
Written with advice from Gary Chapman in conjunction with his book about recurring marriage 'seasons'; I downloaded it free for my Kindle and am still undecided about whether to buy the other three in the series. Perhaps three and a half stars. (
