Read by the author.

You didn't get married to feel like strangers in the same house.

Between the dishes, the doomscrolling, and the daily grind, the connection faded. You're not fighting, but you're not talking like you used to either, and you're tired of doing all the work. You've become more roommates than soulmates.

Most days are a blur of chores and checklists, and most nights end with you and your spouse in the same bed but worlds apart--backs turned, both scrolling through someone else's life instead of living your own. You often wonder, Is marriage supposed to feel like this?

Maybe nothing is falling apart, but it's still not what you pictured. Maybe you're growing, but your spouse isn't keeping pace. You're doing the work, carrying the load, and wondering why you're no longer seen. Friend, you're not alone. Around you, other couples are quietly unraveling too.

Don't Burn Your Own House Down isn't a "pray harder and swallow your issues" pep talk. It's a deeply honest, faith-rooted guide for couples who still want to want their marriages but keep missing the mark. Through a decade of relationship research and hard-won wisdom, Lindsey Maestas offers rare transparency, biblical truth, and practical tools to overcome modern distractions and rebuild playfulness, honesty, and deep connection.

In this helpful and healing book, you'll learn how to:

• Fall in love with the person your spouse is today, instead of wishing for who they were at the altar
• Let your relationship with God become so rich and rooted that it transforms the way you show up in your marriage
• Balance emotional labor without resentment
• Create new habits and disciplines that help you support each other
• Build a home that feels safe, playful, and spiritually grounded, even on your worst days

Your marriage doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs two people willing to start again . . . together.
