Summary

The fact is: men and women are different -- by the Creator's ingenious design. These differences involve the way we think, feel, and process information. They involve the way we love and are loved. And they have a direct impact on our closest relationships -- our marriages. Burke's counsel, unlike that found on talk shows or radio call-in programs, is based on the owner's manual the Master Designer prepared for us -- the Bible. With new discussion questions included in the back, this edition of Different by Design is ideal for couples or married study groups who want to delve deeper into the truths inside its pages. Whether you're engaged, newlywed, married with children, or passing advice along to your grandkids, this book will help you build healthier, stronger relationships by making the most of the things the sexes hold least in common and appreciating those points of greatest difference.
