Book Review: Your Love Path

Your LovePath

Joe Beam is a nationally recognized speaker and leader for marriages across the country. He is the creator of Love Path International  and founded Family Dynamics. (Fair trade disclosure: Joe sent this book to me a few weeks ago for a review and linking to his seminar of Love Path International.)

This has less to do with the book and the content of the book, but more so of what I continue to find among marriage, family, and self-help books. Most of them seem to lean heavily towards cognitive understanding and transformation and lack reaching the reader on an emotional level. That does not mean that this is not a good book. There is a huge need for cognitive restructuring when looking to improve one self or marriage.

Your LovePath is a great book to read and will lead you in the right direction to an intimate marriage. Joe does an outstanding job of making the material accessible to all readers. He combines his experience with saving marriages and evidence based research from guys like John Gottman. He weaves a few narrative examples throughout the book of couples that he has worked with and how they have implemented the steps in their marriage to save it from destruction. One of the highlights of the book is the chapter summary that you can review periodically to check and make sure you and your spouse are on the right path. This is one of the best books about marriage that cuts trough the "noise" and offers practical steps for all marriages. 

This book will get your marriage on the right path, but please understand one must do the work that Joe lays out in Your LovePath.If your marriage is on the brink of disaster check out his resources for seminars in Nashville, TN.
