Greg S. Baker has been counseling relationships for over a decade. His success in this field has largely come through his understanding of communication and expression. People communicate all the time, but either it is misunderstood or it is not listened to. Pastor Baker has developed techniques and methods in this area to assist in the struggles that many people have in this area of communication.
To this end, he has written a book on the subject to help promote and strengthen communication and expression in relationships. The book, 'Fitly Spoken', is an intense study on human communication and social skills. Subjects range from dealing with and handling arguments to communication between the sexes. It is available in both printed and electronic versions.

Dealing with a Midlife Crisis

They can become depressed, disillusioned with life, and even quit things or relationships they should not. Primarily, a midlife crisis is caused by two realizations: 1. The realization that they haven't accomplished much or anything that is truly worthwhile. 2. The realization that they probably have fewer years ahead of them then they do behind them.

Why Every Married Couple Ought To Date
For some reason, many couples find that much of the intrigue and interest in their relationship dwindled after marriage. One reason may be that the effort of pursuit and being pursued as evidenced by dating is no longer a part of the couples’ lives. Dating, at least once a week, will renew the excitement and interest in a marriage. WHY DATING IS IMPORTANT FOR THE MARRIED COUPLE Before marriage, dating was about pursuing and being pursued. Typically, a man pursued a woman by wooing her and by treating her well within the context of the date.

The Three 'Magic' Questions To Save Your Marriage
For years, as a Pastor and counselor, I've had to figure out how to save someone's marriage. Here is a short formula that I use to find out where the problems may truly lie, and knowing them, I can recommend a plan on what needs to be done to fix the broken relationship. You can follow it for yourself right now. This process is best done with an impartial third party, whose sole interest is your marriage, not taking sides. However, if there is no one to do that, the couple could follow this procedure separately and then trade results.

The Difference Between Jealousy, Covetousness, and Envy in Relationships
Many relationships have been destroyed over the jealousy issue. However, sometimes it isn't so much jealousy but envy and covetousness that is the real root of the problem. Here is a brief definition of each before we get into a lager discussion of these. Jealousy - The fear of losing something that you feel already belongs to you. Covetousness - The desire of that which is not yours and currently unattainable as it belongs to someone else or lies outside your ability to get.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Greg Baker
"Life is relationships. It's not your house, your car, your bank account, or even your esperiences. Life is the relationships you have and someone to share what you have and the experiences that go with them."
"Faith is an essential element to human development. It provides purpose and direction beyond our scope and natural boundaries. It allows us to live larger than life where life is worth living for. Jesus Christ is the author of my faith."
"Communication is the bedrock of all relationships. Over 95% of relationship issues are due to a misunderstanding in communication."
"We are defined more by what we say than by what we do. People always use our actions to verify and substantiate our words, never the other way around. People judge us by the words we say."
"Words convey three things. First, they convey meaning. Secondly, they convey intent. Thirdly, they convey an idea. The power of a single word can have ramifications for generations."
"Truly, life and death are in the power of the tongue."
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotte Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." – John 3:16
