Loving Your Spouse When You Feel Like Walking Away

By: Gary Chapman

Narrated by: Chris Fabry

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 for 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 Desparate 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

An experienced marriage and family counselor, Gary Chapman speaks to those whose spouse is any of the following:

• 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. Listen to Loving Your Spouse When You Feel Like Walking Away to learn how you can turn things around.

A must read

Listening to this book was indeed difficult and took months to finally make myself read it! First time I was not having this book thinking I know what I want and I'm just done!! Second time was even harder harder because it hit close to home, a little more than I wanted. Was emotional through the first few chapters. Might want to have your journal and Bible handy and serious prayer time. After that, I stepped away from this book and let go and let God! I have been in a lot of trials and tribulations, this book has given me information I should of had when I knew the issues started. I will again read and take more notes and just apply where needed as I heal and make this work for my marriage. Happy reading!!

must read

Loved this book! Recommended if you are struggling in your marriage and if you're not struggling read. I feel Gary Chapman books are good refresher books for relationships. I'm. therapist so also a lot from this book can be used in a therapeutic setting. Definitely getting g this book in print.

All is not lost

I enjoyed the balanced view on understanding another point of view or another's emotions. It is how we navigate the feedback that becomes key. Feedback is also not about failure or right and wrong. It is far more than that. We need to be open to all sorts of possibilities. I am grateful for the personal growth and wisdom that this book has given me.

Great Read for anyone.

This book is great, goes into detail dealing with everyday issues. Great examples. Everyone should read this book, gives a better insight of how others feel.

Good advice anyway, but very applicable to the situation.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book. Will probably listen again just to absorb all the material that was covered.

Amazingly accurate

I cried a lot during a couple of chapters in this book that truly hit home. Most of the other chapters had familiar behaviors as well. It has given me hope.

Great advice

I’ve learned so much by listening to this even though I’m not married. I’m sure I’ll come back to it again and again. A lot of the principles and advice can be applied to other relationships as well; not only marital relationships. Some of the advice such as seeking counseling may not be attainable for some because of limited income, but a lot can still be learned from this book. I enjoyed it!

Hope

I enjoyed this book and I hope that it helps me understand and work through my marriage
