About this ebook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Marriages are in dire straits all over the world. Christian marriages are no exception. You may feel as if you are in a D-minus marriage, and have no idea what to do. I have help for you. #2 Anna’s marriage is not destructive, but it is disappointing and painful for her. She’s not sure how to continue or even if she wants to. Yet she knows to end her marriage for these reasons would crush Mark and her children, as well as dishonor her vows to God and her husband. #3 It is impossible to love your husband in a warm and wifely way right now, but God still wants you to love him, even if he feels like your enemy. Biblically loving your husband doesn’t require you to prop him up in order to enable him to continue to hurt you. #4 The author’s wife, Anna, is not in a destructive marriage, but she is in a disappointing one. Anna’s unhappiness is like a sore in her soul that she must tend to if she wants it to heal. If she continues to pick at it, it will become inflamed and affect her marriage and her entire life.
