Description of The Two Sides of Love:

Depending on our basic personality type, we all tend to be either too hard or too soft in our relationships with those we love the most. The Two Sides of Love will change that! Best-selling authors and family experts Gary Smalley and John Trent explain how to find a healthy balance between the protective, consistent "hardside" love and the tender, understanding "softside" love. By examining the four basic personality types, you'll learn how to best demonstrate both sides of love in all your relationships-with your spouse, children, friends . . . anyone-and experience wholehearted love!

Description of Gary Smalley, author of The Two Sides of Love:

It's reasonable to want your family to be close and loving, but that desire can be short-circuited by The Two Sides of Love. Love can be too ''hard'' (authoritarian, competitive, or insensitive) or too ''soft'' (emotional or unwilling to confront). Smalley and Trent suggest that a tendency toward either extreme can be traced to your personality, formative events, and emotional boundaries. They explain how you can balance these factors to achieve true family intimacy. Paper from Focus on the Family.
