About this audiobook

What to do when you feel like giving up
When you said, "I do," you entered marriage with high hopes, dreaming it would be supremely happy.
You never intended it to be miserable.

Millions of couples are struggling in desperate marriages. But the story doesn't have to end there. Dr. Gary Chapman writes, "I believe that in every troubled marriage, one or both partners can take positive steps that have the potential for changing the emotional climate in their marriage."

Loving Your Spouse When You Feel Like Walking Away, the revised and updated edition of the award-winning Desperate Marriages, teaches you how to:

Recognize and reject the myths that hold you captive
Better understand your spouse's behavior
Take responsibility for your own thoughts, feelings, and actions
Make choices that can have a lasting, positive impact on you and your spouse

Irresponsible
A workaholic
Controlling
Uncommunicative
Verbally abusive
Physically abusive
Sexually abusive
Unfaithful
Addicted to alcohol or drugs
Depressed

Marriage has the same potential to be miserable as it does to be blissful. Read Loving Your Spouse When You Feel Like Walking Away to learn how you can turn things around.

Ratings and reviews

I actually read the book but the same outcome. It was phenomenal and showed me things about myself I never realized I was doing. My wife nagged and complained for years about me being a certain way and I just said if you change I will. On the brink of divorce (which could still possibly happen) I realized things I was doing that hurt my wife. I made drastic changes to myself. It took months but my wife finally came around and at least said she wanted to work on our marriage. I read many other books went to counseling and did some things I thought were not for me or very manly. But now, I find my wife confiding in me, calling me to tell me about her day. We still have issues we are working through but without this book I would’ve never changed.
