6 Hidden Behaviors that Destroy Families

6 Hidden Behaviors That Destroy Families

By Magdalena Battles

Families are complicated. There is no such thing as a perfect family…or an easy family. We all make mistakes that hurt or disappoint our family members, and we’ve all been hurt or disappointed by those we love. Within our human makeup is a deep and basic need for healthy family relationships. Family was designed to provide us with love, a feeling of belonging, a shared history, traditions, comfort, affection, quality time, feedback, learning, and a safety net. When our family fails to provide for these needs, we feel a deep sense of loss. 6 Hidden Behaviors That Destroy Families by Dr. Magdalena Battles addresses the top conflicts in extended families that cause relationships to become strained, disjointed, or broken. Dr. Battles provides practical tips and solutions based on research, biblical principles, and her own observations of what has worked in families. The healing in your family can begin with you. To have a family that is loving and supportive, you need to be part of the solutions and healing. You just have to take those first steps! It is a process, but the result will be happier lives and more fulfilling relationships.

Strategies for Healthier and More Loving Relationships

Discover causes and practical solutions for these top conflicts in extended families: criticism, gossip, lack of inclusion, deception, refusing to accept differences, and a failure to apologize and forgive.

One of my favorite features of this book is that it doesn’t leave you a victim but instead equips you with practical tools to be the change agent in your life and in your family.
