BOOKS FOR THOSE STRUGGLING IN THEIR MARRIAGE

Can a marriage really change in five days? According to marriage experts and therapists Terry Hargrave and Shawn Stoever, the answer is YES. Whether your marriage needs to be rescued from desperate trouble or simply could improve from good to great, change is possible. The authors share how almost every marital conflict comes from the same place: a pattern of emotional pain buried deep within every husband and wife. When couples recognize this cycle, then learn to replace it with more marriage-affirming patterns, the results are breathtaking. Tired, predictable arguments transform into life-giving interactions. Relationships are changed forever. The authors draw from broad counseling experiences, current mindfulness studies, and recent advances in brain research-along with case examples, practical exercises, and scriptural lessons-to refresh and heal even the most problematic marriages. A better marriage is possible. A lifetime of joy is just five days away. 

Your marriage can be healed by answering three simple questions. Hundreds of marriages have been rescued when couples got the answers right. If you're about to give up on your marriage or know someone about to give up on his or hers, this book is for you. Learn how God can heal deep, hardcore problems whether you're ensnared in deceit, adultery, or abuse. God desires a miracle for your marriage. Before you give up, won't you answer three simple questions? Includes a Help Me Help My Friend Guide!

"Can My Marriage be Saved?" is filled with more than twenty true stories of couples whose marriages were restored, even after being deemed “hopeless” by their friends, family, counselors―even pastors! 

Each of these couples overcame devastating circumstances such as adultery, sexual addiction, clinical depression, bankruptcy, substance abuse, and the loss of their children.

The true stories in this book offer hope for any troubled marriage. And the ministries listed at the end of each story can provide help for hurting couples in even the most desperate circumstances. 

Each story in this book is connected to a ministry with a focus on helping those in crisis marriages. The ministry’s contact information is listed at the end of each story and the back of the book contains a detailed marriage-help resource guide.

Infidelity is common, occurring in over half of all marriages. And it is one of life's most painful experiences for everyone involved--the betrayed spouse, the children, the extended family members, and even the lover and wayward spouse. With all that sadness, why do people have affairs? And once trust is broken, how can a couple reconcile? 

In Surviving an Affair, Drs. Harley and Chalmers describe the most common types of affairs, the reasons they begin and end, the best way to end them, and the best way to restore a marriage after an affair. But most importantly, they help readers survive the ordeal by providing them with step-by-step guidance that minimizes suffering and offers hope for rebuilding a loving and trusting marital relationship.

Written by respected pastor and marriage counselor Dave Carder, this revised and expanded version of Torn Asunder sorts through the factors that contribute to infidelity and then maps out a recovery process for both partners. With compassion and wisdom rooted in the Bible, Carder offers insight for the victims of adultery, the perpetrators, and those who seek to help hurting couples.

Along the way Carder also answers questions like:

  • Why did this happen?

  • We didn’t actually sleep together, so is it still an affair?

  • Can I trust my spouse again?

  • Should I reveal a secret affair?

  • What if my spouse doesn’t want me back?

  • What do we tell the kids?

When marriages hit rough spots, the men and women in them need wise and informed help. Through personal experience, Joe and Michelle Williams have learned what works and what doesn't in the tough times of marriage. Having experienced several divorces each before becoming Christians, Joe and Michelle write with insight and authority that can't be denied. Includes a Temperament test and survey to help readers evaluate their marriage, questions for self-evaluation, and group- or support-partner discussion questions.
