Find the balance between tough love and tender love. Do you and your loved ones sometimes seem poles apart? Do you long for greater affection in your most important relationships? Do you wish you could communicate in a way that's both loving and effective? In The Two Sides of Love, best-selling authors Gary Smalley and John Trent explain how to find a healthy balance between the protective, consistent, "hard side" love and the tender, understanding, "soft side" 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, and friends. This revised, updated edition of a classic resource (over 300,000 copies sold) is a helpful tool for personal growth, small group studies, or couples' classes.
