Publisher's summary

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.

FOR EVERY STRUGGLING RELATIONSHIP!

Gary provides this very intimate look into various scenarios and examples of people dealing with issues that you most likely have suffered from in your own relationships. I highly recommend reading this book to gain deeper insight in how to mitigate such hostile circumstances in order to alleviate the pain and walk on a path towards healing and change in relationships.

Love it!

This book has changed my whole mind set on what has been going on in my marriage and has helped me see what kind of marriage I want to strive for and how I can get it. There is alot to take away from this book. In fact i purchased the book in addition to follow along and take notes. I suggest taking notes as you go to help sort out your thoughts and feeling and what you can do to better your relationship.

Amazing!

I started listening intending to listen for only a few minutes. I just could stop listening. I have already ordered the book. There is so much good information and I love the narrator’s voice. Looking for the next book to buy.
