In this groundbreaking work, authors Richard and Dede Brown offer a refreshingly original answer grounded in experience, wisdom, and common sense. Relationships thrive when members see themselves as part of a team, not just as individuals looking out for their own interests. And when a winning team rests on a foundation of real love, the result is a relationship built to stand the test of time. This book lays out a fun, easy-to-follow, and comprehensive game plan for building your LoveTeam.
