A slow cook approach
This book is such a powerful combination of the insights from The Five Love Languages and The Smart Step Family! Both books are a must read if you are in any way blending (slow cooking, rather) or planning to do so. But to see the application of both sets of principles together, is quite enlightening.
I would strongly recommend this book over and over!!!
