Anothen!
Do you know what Anothen means? It is a Greek word and it means: FROM ABOVE.
All of our books and training courses in Biblically-based human behavior and in Christian Counseling are: ANOTHEN!
Enlightenment!
The Word says: ”My people perish for lack of knowledge“ (paraphrased). I believe that is also why marriages and, in fact, all relationships, perish! We just do not understand ourselves (why we do the things we do). And, we certainly do not understand others (why they do the things they do)!
The Lord gave us the answers (enlightenment, if you will) and we share it in our book: The Missing Link. And, if you want, you can even take it as a course and receive a certificate–that version is titled: Created In God’s Image. Check it out! It will change your life!
Opposites attract!
Opposites attract! That is very true! People oriented people (Sanguines) are fun loving, happy, enthusiastic, and very exciting. However, they are also somewhat un-organized. Task oriented people (Melancholies) are usually organized and serious about life. Each one is attracted to the differences in the other. The Melancholy “wants” to be happy like the Sanguine and, for a season, enjoys being around them. Whereas, the Sanguine is attracted to the fact that the Melancholy is so “together!”
This is all short lived. Once they get married (commit), they frustrate one another terribly! One dislikes the fact that the other is always on the go and constantly failing to complete tasks and keep commitments (irresponsible). The other is totally exasperated by his/her spouses boring and tasking life–never having any fun!
We teach people how to resolve these kinds of problems.
Male vs female behavior
Women are from Venus and men are from Mars. What a lie! It has nothing to do with male or female — It is all about in-born temperament, i.e., spiritual genetics. Some men are very warm and fussy; some women are task oriented and cold. How we behave is all explained in our book, The Missing Link.
On A Personal Note…
My entire life has been “A Touch of Grace” - which I named one of our books, declaring what God has done for me.
I look forward to sharing my journey, my thoughts, and my prayers with your here.
With blessings,
Dr. Richard G. Arno
