Love Stronger
A Carpenter's Blueprint for Relationships

I am pleased to introduce "Love Stronger," a resource designed to encourage men to reach a higher standard of how they love both themselves and others.The concept began in 2017 while I was facilitating a men’s recovery group. To help participants go deeper, I developed twelve practical practices for loving partners, family, and friends. These twelve practices, organized as an acronym for "Love Stronger," formed the basis of a new men’s group. The plan worked, we saw men and women become stronger lovers. Between 2023 and 2025, we converted the group syllabus into a workbook suitable for individuals or groups. This audio version, which I narrated with AI assistance, is intended to supplement the printed book. It allows you to listen to the material and then use the workbook to plan how to apply these principles to your relationships. You can find the handcrafted printed versions at www.lovestronger.caDrawing on my background in both carpentry and counseling, the book uses building principles as a metaphor for relationship growth. It serves as a blueprint with twelve sections; each includes a practice for building stronger relationships and an exercise for strengthening the "inner man." The hardcover editions are even handcrafted and printed by us to reflect my passion for woodworking. You can find them at www.lovestronger.caI hope you enjoy these stories and feel encouraged to implement these practices in your own life.William Schuilenberg - Carpenter, Counselor, and Author
