I Want to Stay Married, But How?: Empowering Christian Women in Marriage

Is your heart crying, "I want to stay married, but how?" You're not alone. Every week, thousands of women sit in church, silently agonizing over their crumbling marriages. Seriously hurting marriages are not a popular topic in the church, and few specifically designed resources have been available to help save the fifty percent of marriages in the church that end in divorce-until now. Written by a professional counselor whose marriage once nearly ended, I Want to Stay Married, But How? will: · Assure you that you are not alone. · Restore your hope. · Challenge you to become more fully who God made you to be. · Change the way you think about and do relationships. · Convince you that one healthy person-you-can change a marriage. As you learn to "LIVE STRONG" and grow into the person God intended, you will: · Learn from courageous women who have grown and fought for their families. · Be educated and empowered to break old, unhealthy habits. · Be challenged to examine truths about relationship dynamics. · Learn to speak the truth and challenge relational problems. · Develop skills for working smarter, not harder, in relationships. · Move past denial to reclaim your life and power.
