Often others are unsuccessful at loving us or
meeting our
needs because
they don’t know what makes us feel loved. Sometimes we don’t even really know! The key to meaningful loving in marriage (or any relationship) is to: (1) Identify specifically what makes you feel loved and to gently share that information with your spouse (or others). Help your spouse be successful at loving you by teaching them how to love you. Make it easy for them to understand what you want and need by providing a written list; and (2) Find out specifically what makes your spouse feel loved, and love them that way every day! The more you fill your spouse’s love bucket the more likely they will want to fill yours. For more information see Chapter 10 "Becoming One—Emotional
Intimacy" in
the book And They Were Not Ashamed—Strengthening Marriage through Sexual Fulfillment.

A good friend shared the following story...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just had to tell you this interesting story about your book. I was visiting with my brother-in-law while on a family vacation. He was home on leave from Iraq where he serves in the military. We got talking about books and he was telling me about this one book he’s read while in Iraq. He couldn’t quite remember the title, but after describing it to me I thought...it couldn’t be...then I said, "That book doesn’t happen to be called 'And They Were Not Ashamed' by Laura Brotherson does it?" He incredibly said yes! He was stunned to learn that you were a good friend of mine and that you just live down the street from me. What a small world! He then relayed the following: He had come
across the book
somehow and
felt impressed to get it. Wherever he had tried to order it they wouldn’t send it to Iraq (I don’t think he got it from your website), so he had it sent to his home, and gave his wife instructions to simply send the package on to him in Iraq. But his wife opened it and was a bit surprised at first, then began reading it. She couldn’t put it down! She went out and bought three more copies for each of their young children to give to them when they are older. Then she sent the book to her husband in Iraq. My brother-in-law would read it during work
sometimes, and
a bunch of his
co-workers would often gather. They had quite the discussions! A bunch of his co-workers want to get the book as well. My brother-in-law would crack up when telling me about these rough and tough guys who were talking trash one minute then talking about emotional intimacy and love languages in the next breath. Just thought you’d appreciate knowing how your book is blessing lives all across the world. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) ONLINE AT DESERETBOOK.COM You can now find And They Were Not Ashamed
