Bound & Determined: Christian Men and Women in Partnership

by Jeanene Reese Description Men and women work together every day in a variety of relationships as friends, spouses, and colleagues. We try to understand and support one another, but we frequently find ourselves confused and frustrated in our relationships. Too often, we joke around about our differences or explain them away. Sometimes we give up in despair, or, perhaps worse, we resort to keeping the sexes apart and avoid real and meaningful interaction. In Bound and Determined, author Jeanene Reese draws on years of her own research and addresses the relationship between men and women and explores what it means that God designed these two genders to work together - including places we must all be willing to reflect and repent, how men and women can support and honor each other more effectively, and the role of forgiveness in authentic relationships. Accepting that "women are from Venus and men from Mars" is frankly simpler than working through the complexities of our relationships.
