John Gottman is one of the most productive marriage scholars in nowadays (Goldenberg, & Goldenberg, 2013). He developed his scientifically based martial therapy, which originally named marriage clinic approach, from the observational and longitudinal research on communication differences between happy, stable and unhappy couples in his “Love lab” (Gottman, Ryan, Carrere, & Erley, 2002).

The novel, “Covenant Child”, written by Terri Blackstock, is a metaphor of God’s undying love. Mrs. Blackstock used the parable of the prodigal son and drew an analogy of Amanda waiting for her step-daughters’ return with such patience and loving that only our God portrays.
