5 Stars The Definitive Guide to a Successful Marriage
If there were ever a book of this genre that could be categorized as the magnum opus of marriage guides, this book would be it. In this warmly written, and most engrossing book, Rebbetzen Esther Jungreis drawns upon decades of experience counseling couples who find themselves struggling with marriage related issues as well as individuals who are seeking to find their soulmate and life partner.

Rebbetzen Jungreis’ brilliant sage advice and words of guidance are predicated on the wisdom of the Torah, as she invokes the name and declares the praise of the most powerful and unifying force in any relationship, the Almighty G-d of Israel. As the architect of the universe and the creator of all life, G-d in His infinite wisdom gave us the ability to sanctify the marriage relationship, to transcend the mundane and the physical and to elevate ourselves to a level of holiness that is an essential ingredient to any successful and happy marriage. As the Rebbetzen explains, the words in Hebrew for a man and woman have the same letters, and these letters spell the word fire. Man and woman are analagous to two fires, both consuming each other. The Hebrew letter, Yud, which stands for the name of G-d must be included in the names of man and woman in order for stability, harmony, peace and genuine love to reign supreme.

Rebbetzen Jungreis speaks with the authority of a clinical psychologist and marriage counselor, while imbuing those she counsels with a solid spiritual foundation that will serve as an anchor in the turbulent waters of marriage conflicts. The values and ethos that she imparts are ones that will endure the multitude of challenges that are endemic to everyday life and that are particularly prounounced in marriage. Her compelling and emotionally charged writing style is infused with the greatest of respect for the intelligence and sensitivities of the reader, as she steers clear of preachy or didactic rhetoric, that is all to commonplace in the vast array of books of this kind.

This book is permeated with such a deep and intense level of warmth and love that can only be termed palpable, as its words reach deep into the heart and soul of the reader. Her words are real, as is she, and your soul will be lifted to the highest of levels. It is clear that Rebbetzen Jungreis is a scholar of Torah and her insights into the wellsprings of these sources smack of the kind of profundity and sheer genious, once only reserved for venerable sages.

This book is a must read for all those considering marriage and for those who are experiencing difficulties or problems in marital relationships. It is a book that will have far reaching effects for future generations and should be required reading in all secondary schools. This guide on marriage is timeless, as is the Torah that it is built on and its lessons will resonate for all of eternity.

5 Stars The Bomb…Rabitzin blows it up!
Rabitzin Jungreis is a modern day Deborah. She has so much wisdom and insight, but most of all, heart. Truly, that’s what it takes to help, a large heart full of compassion, gratitude and the need to help. Her stories are a soothing balm of Gilead to my soul, giving so much inspiration to face the challenges of this world.

Every story is unique and gives us glimpses of the trauma of challenges in modern day marriges. Rabbizin is like a G-dly spiritual surgeon that goes in gently and removes the tumors and abcesses that form in a persons soul, then she gently patches them up and checks in until the person is ready to leave the hospital, cured! What a beracha she is, not only to these people in these stories, but to all who are fortunate enough to open her books and are allowed to drink from the fountain of her love and wisdom.

She is known as the Jewish Billy Graham, she is much more than that she is a healer, a tzadikka of our generation. I can’t get enough of her wisdom, and am praying for a chance to meet her, so that I can tell her how much her words have helped me.

This is a must have book for couples, or singles, it doesn’t matter. the price is insignificant when a true treasure is found.

5 Stars The Committed Marriage – An Excellent Book
I loved this book and have recommended it to many people. This book is very practical and applicable. Everyone who reads it will find at least one thing to improve their marriage!

5 Stars twenty five stars!
I read and reread the stories and cried and cried! This book is for everyone, Jew and non-Jew alike.Read it! Learn how the laws of the Torah, G-d’s laws, are for everyone! I just wish I could convey this message

to Rebbetzin Jungreis personally.

5 Stars The best book on marriage, period.
I have read many marriage counseling kind of books, and I am going to say that this is the best one that I have read so far. Rebbetzin Jungreis is known for her timeless wisdom, her way with words, her way of talking straight to the heart, and in this book we see all those qualities in abundance.

“The Committed Marriage” is beautifully written, with much sound advice based on real-life experience. It is both inspiring and practical, in the sense that while she writes about the beauty of a Jewish marriage and how to maintain happiness and love throughout your life, she also brings many practical real life examples.

Everyone has their favorite parts to this book, mine are the parts where she discusses what “Rayim Ahuvim” – beloved friends – really mean, and the story with her daughter and the tickets. I was also very impressed with the many beautiful stories of her late husband, zt’l.

If you must read only one book on marriage – make this your book. It is the only book you will ever need.

The Expanded Family Life Cycle Individual Family and Social Perspectives 3rd Edition

How does one define the concept of “family”? Is it primarily a biological link, or purely a social construction? Can it be a combination of both? Does it have to be? In this age of single parents, alternative lifestyles, and joint custody, “family” has become a fluid term which reflects a sweeping change in society — from the rigid structure of the nuclear family to a more diverse and inclusive circle of people that one refers to as family. In this revision of their classic work in family therapy issues and techniques, the authors propose a new and more comprehensive way to think about human development and the life cycle, by widening the perspective of family therapy to include diversity of family forms and lifestyles, as well as cultural diversity.

Their expanded view of family includes the impact and issues at multiple levels of the human system: the individual, family households, the extended family, the community, the cultural group, and the larger society. The new edition offers lively and dynamic writing, with contributed chapters by some of the best-known therapists and experts in family therapy. Some issues with expanded focus include race, class, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, spirituality, politics, work, time, community, values, and belief systems. Social workers, psychologists, nurses, and family therapists.

Monica McGoldrick, M.A., M.S.W., Ph.D., is co-founder and director of the Multicultural Family Institute in Highland Park, New Jersey, and adjunct faculty at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Her books include Ethnicity and Family Therapy, Third Edition, Genograms: Assessment and Intervention, Third Edition, The Expanded Family Life Cycle, Fourth Edition Living Beyond Loss, 2nd edition; Revisioning Family Therapy, 2nd edition; and The Genogram Journey, a new edition of You Can Go Home Again, a book published to explain family systems therapy for the general reader. This book offers the genograms and family histories of many famous people from Barack Obama to John Kennedy and Sigmund Freud.

Monica McGoldrick was born in Brooklyn, New York and grew up there and in Solebury Pennsylvania. Her ancestors (on the McGoldrick side came from Donegal, Ireland, and her mother’s Cahalane ancestors came from West Cork. She majored in Russian Studies at Brown University (called Pembroke in her time), and then received a masters degree in Russian Studies at Yale University, before switching to social work and family therapy, receiving her MSW and later an honorary PhD from Smith College School for Social Work.

Healing the Hurt in Your Marriage

All marriage relationships face hurts and conflicts on several levels, but not many of us know how to deal with them effectively–so we don’t. Healing the Hurt in Your Marriage walks couples through a very manageable step-by-step process of understanding different styles of conflict resolution and then encourages them toward forgiveness and healing.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Its ok, But I needed it earlier.
This book is ok. It can help if your marriage is almost over or if your partner will talk. In all other cases it will not help much. But, it is a good read.

4 Stars Healing the Hurt
If you are looking for a Christ centered book to help with your marriage then this would be a good choice. This book uses readings from the Bible to help support how a Christ centered relationship will enrich your love of Christ and in turn will deepen your love for your spouse. When a couple has a Christ centered marriage they lead their children to Christ.

4 Stars An Important Book for Both Engaged and Married Couples
In HEALING THE HURT IN YOUR MARRIAGE, Dr. Gary and Barbara Rosberg are on a mission: to divorce-proof America’s marriages. “You and your marriage are the devil’s intended victims…Satan would like nothing better than to discourage you, debilitate your marriage, and add another crippled or broken family to his ledger,” write the Rosbergs. As hosts of the nationally syndicated radio program “America’s Family Coaches…Live!” they’ve heard myriad tales from wounded couples teetering on the brink of divorce, and have helped them put their marriages back together.

The Ten Conversations You Must Have Before You Get Married

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars What I wish I knew 30 years ago!
I have great communication skills with my clients…but as a couple, we never learned how to communicate. For me, the “Ten Conversations” you must have are perhaps a bit like reviewing a complicated business contract and hammering out the details. The real jewel of this book is the first 65 pages on the basics of good communication (something I missed along the way). My wife and I are finally discussing things that we have kept bottled up inside. Just ordered two copies for my married children. I wish we had this book 30 years ago! Thanks Guy for the help.

Premarital and Remarital Counseling the Professionals Handbook

The definitive guide to premarital counseling

This is the best premarital counseling guide I have seen in more than three decades in the family therapy and family life education fields.
— William C. Nichols, editor, Contemporary Family Therapy

Following the success of the first two editions of this book, the authors updated their indispensable guide on the process and content of premarital counseling. In this revised edition, they have added important information about issues in the forefront today: remarriage, the blended or step-family, intergroup marriages, and younger and older couples. Filled with practical and effective hands-on questionnaires and instruments that have been newly revised and widely tested by the authors, this book is written to meet the needs of a range of professionals, including clergy and clinicians in social work, psychology, counseling, and marriage and family therapy.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars useful, readable – and lacking 4 essential points
I have specialized in providing professional education and therapy to divorced, courting, and re/wedded couples since 1981. I am (a) 66, (b) a stepgrandson, stepson, and ex-stepfather and stepbrother, (c) an invited Board member of the Stepfamily Association of America, (d) a contributing editor to ‘Your Stepfamily Online,’ and (e) the author of six personal-growth and family-relations books.

I recommend this book to readers who want a well-organized overiew of the complex premarital and re/marital counseling process. I caution readers that the authors omit several essential points which cripples the utility of their book:

1) why and how to assess and reduce co-parents’ psychological wounds from childhood (vs. divorce). The authors lay the groundwork for this, but don’t guide readers on how to follow through;

2) the origin and impacts of blocked grief in adults and kids, and how to spot and reduce it. There is no entry for “grief” in the book’s index;

3) co-parent unawareness of five key topics: (a) normal personality formation, composition, and function; (b) keys to high-nurturance families and relationships, (c) effective communication skills, (d) healthy 3-level grief, and (e) stepfamily realities, norms, implications, and hazards. And…

4) little effective re/marital and co-parenting help (i.e. courtship coaching, classes, informed counseling, co-parent support groups) available in most communities and the media.

In my clinical experience since 1981, these factors will often block the best-intentioned adults from following relevant re/marital and co-parenting advice. Counseling couples who are courting and re/married – specially any with existing kids – without including these factors in assessment and interventions can only be partially effective.

For more perspective on this review, see:

http://sfhelp.org/11/choose_bks.htm

4 Stars Good Resource
Overall, a good resourse for anyone interested in Premarital counseling. Where many resourses of this type focus on clergical counseling, this book is written from a counseling view rather than a clergical one. This is NOT a religious book, but traditional clergical counseling is not left out of the picture. This book is completely appropriate for both religious and secular counselors.

The book is divided into three sections:

- Foundations, which gives a history of premarital counseling, plus outlines some motivations for marriage and remarriage.

- The Counseling Process, which includes a plan for premarital therapy, including goal setting, dynamic relationship histories, family-of-origin studies, and an overview of available inventories and guidelines on how to use them.

- Special Topics, including: Remarriage and Stepparenting, Group Counseling, Communication, Valuse, Decision Making, and Finances, Intimacy and Sexuality, and special situations (very young and older first marriages, forced marriages, conflicted relationships).

Where appropriate, there are example figures and graphs, including example reports from inventories (Prepare) and techniques for use with premarital couples (two types of genograms and a dynamic relationship history).

The only issue I had with the book is that some of the references cited are quite dated, but some allowance should be made for accounting history. If you’re using the book for academic purposes, make sure to check the publication year of the information cited, just to make sure it’s applicable to your research.

2 Stars caution before buying this book
I was pretty disappointed in this book. It didn’t seem relevant at all to issues most couples face today. It seemed like it might be helpful for clergy who are counseling 20 year old virgins but not for mental health therapists or anyone counseling adults. It just really missed the mark and didn’t help me at all. I already do some couples counseling and was hoping to sharpen my skills; I don’t think I learned anything from this book. Again, I’d stay away from this book unless you are counseling very conservative people in a church setting.

5 Stars A Comprehensive Guide
Every clergyperson and secular counselor who does premarital or remarital counseling should have this book. Stahmann and Hiebert have penned an incredibly comprehensive, yet accessible guide for both clergy and secular audiences.

The book begins with foundational issues such as reasons why people marry and beliefs couples tend to hold. The goals of premarital and remarital counseling are also discussed. Their brief introduction to the history of premarital counseling was interesting, though not especially helpful. Throughout the book, the authors summarize relevant findings from a large number of researchers.

This handbook covers all of the practical issues as well, from fees and number of sessions to the actual content of each session. Special emphasis is given to the couple’s history together, exploring each family of origin and previous marriages (if any), and the use of premarital inventories. Among inventories, Stahmann and Hiebert review PREPARE, FOCCUS, and the Taylor-Johnson Temperament Analysis. PREPARE is used as the example for most of the book.

Several subjects are covered under “special topics.” These include remarriage and stepparenting, specific marital skills, intimacy and sexuality, age-related factors, and problematic situations. The authors also consider the use of group counseling, although most of the book is written for someone counseling one couple at a time.

As a ministry student who realized that my formal seminary training would leave me unprepared for doing premarital counseling, I am grateful to have Stahmann & Hiebert’s Premarital and Remarital Counseling. I recommend it along with Charles Taylor’s Premarital Guidance and Anderson & Fite’s Becoming Married to anyone in a similar situation.

5 Stars Book jacket reviewer’s comments:
“This book will save many thousands of marriages and will prevent many people from marrying an unsuitable partner. For couples and experts alike, all you ever need to know about preparation for marriage.” Amitai Etzioni, author of The New Golden Rule: Community and Morality in a Democratic Society.

“This is the best premarital counseling guide I have seen in more than three decades. Skillfully constructed…it should not be ‘on your shelf’ but in your hands if you are a mental health professional or clergy member providing such assistance.” William C. Nichols, Editor, Contemporary Family Therapy.

Toward A Growing Marriage Building the Love Relationship of your Dreams

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Good tools for the married and unmarried
A great annoyance that I had with the beginning of this book was the concept of “ministry dating”, a Christian dating a non-Christian. Chapman points to 2 Corinthians 6:14 as a reason that marrying is not a good idea. He also said that there is a lack of commitment in a Christian/non-Christian relationship. Honestly, the whole thing could backfire and the “unsaved” may be very jaded toward religion if the relationship does not work out. Also, the Christian may be drawn into sin by the non-Christian, after all, sin loves company (see Genesis 3).

I still think that this book is worthy of a 4 star rating. There is a lot of practical advice with Biblical back-up. It has really caused me to re-think the role of a wife, but at the same time, it doesn’t say that the wife is inferior to the husband, she is his partner, his teammate.

The sections of the book that I think I learned the most from where the chapters on sex and money. Both have been perverted by modern day society. Chapman gives practical and Biblical advice in this area.

The chapter dealing with in-laws was very eye-opening. I never really considered “Honor thy father and thy mother” when thinking about in-laws. However, it does make sense that if you are talking bad about your MIL, you may cause your husband to dishonor his mother.

“Who Will Clean the Commode?” – I didn’t really give a lot of thought to the duties that each marriage partner would perform, whether it be cleaning the toilet, or paying the bills. I just thought that those things would work themselves out, and perhaps they might have. However, a much better solution would be to assign responsibilities before marriage so each partner knows what the other expects of them.

One of the great things about this book is that the “Growth Assignments” at the end of each chapter offer a section for the married and the unmarried. I thought this was very helpful.

The last chapter had a couple of annoying spelling errors (I am an editor, I pick up that kind of thing), but not so many that it makes the text difficult to read or understand.

5 Stars An excellent resource!
This book is great for couples who want to improve their marriage and even for singles who need direction on choosing a mate. The material helps couples learn better communication skills and work on problem solving and decision making. All of Chapman’s material is based on sound biblical teaching and is great for small groups!

5 Stars Discovering the True Heart through Communication
My husband and I have been married for 9 years and had to read this book for an assignment in our training at Rhema Bible Training Center. My husband began to read his book first and would constantly ask me “When are you going to read your book?” To be honest, at first I thought I did not need this book BUT NOW I wish I read it before discussing marriage. This book brings out issues that my husband and I after 6 yrs of dating and a year and a half engagement plus nine years of marriage have never thought to discuss. These vary issues were building blocks that formed an invisible wall we could not see each other over. We had valuable parts of our lives that were effecting us that we were not sharing with one another because we did not know quit what they were or even how to communicate them. I am so thankful for the open communication we gained through this valuable tool. We both kept telling each other, “If we had read this book before marriage we would have saved much heartache and frustration.” GLORY! The invisible wall is down and communication has entered such a more intimate and spiritually awakened level. This book is a MUST READ before even getting serious in dating! It helps you to look deep in yourself and see your heart and motives in a relationship as well as what you have to offer to someone else. Before getting engaged, I believe to be 100% effective both people should read and do the assignments in the book. BUT if like my husband and I you did not read this book and had limited communication THIS BOOK is the tool you need to help open you both to a new level of understanding and relating to one another. This book was our highway to a path we had never traveled with one another. I am very thankful this book is available and pray that everyone learns from it. A Happy Healthy relationship is worth everything you put in to it! This book is worth reviewing every 6 months and is fast and easy understanding with wonderful Assignments to encourage open two way bridge of communication that leads you both on the same path to a Loving Relationship of your dreams! Be blessed and encouraged. This book is a gentle tool to open doors to rooms and closets that you did not even know you housed. What a wonderful way to explore your own heart and motives as well as discuss those of your love one.

4 Stars Great read for married or engaged couples
My wife and I read this book before we got married. It explains how to use Christian principals to relate to marital issues. How to always approach your mate in charity and always resolve situations in the spirit of love and not anger. It gives accounts of how this philosophy has played a role in many marraiges.

While this book is good,we enjoyed Dr. Chapman’s other book, The Five Love Languages much better.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Its AMAZING!
As a young, strong and independent woman, this book was perfect for me when I found out about my husbands affair. It didn’t make me feel like a victim, and didn’t make me feel bad about NOT wanting to get back together. I also bought it for my husband. Since we were not focused on getting back together, rather, bettering ourselves, we were able to decide if we wanted to be together in the long run. It is sooo important to focus on yourself when you are separated. If you focus on “saving” your marriage, you are already doomed. You must start over and if you CHOOSE to be together, you will be successful. If you want a book telling you how to “save” your marriage, look elsewhere. But if you want to regain and redifine who you are, this is the book for you.

4 Stars Lots of food for thought
I was a little discouraged when I started reading “Getting Back Together”. In the early chapters, there were frequent references to partners that aren’t speaking or won’t accept phone calls. Thinking about reconciling when you can’t even have a conversation with your partner seemed rather ridiculous.

The other thing I found disconcerting was the implication that when a couple decides to try again, the one that moved out immediately packs their bags and moves home. Don’t get me wrong, the book addresses the soul searching and many changes that must take place in each individual prior to even considering a reconciliation, but it is only in the last chapter that a period of “dating” or being a couple without living together is even mentioned. I would have appreciated some practical advice on getting from the point of making the decision to pursue a reconciliation and moving back home.

Youngs uses a variety of couples as examples and they represent a broad spectrum of ages, situations and issues. No book is going to have an example that is exactly like your own situation, but I was able to identify with aspects of many of the relationships, and found something of value in almost all of them.

Even though I think my husband and I are beyond the first steps in her process, I thought the exercises were very helpful in capturing my thoughts, feelings, values and needs. I have a good understanding of my remaining issues and know the things that I need to discuss with my husband.

I’m the type that usually skips the exercises in self-help books, planning to return to them later or figuring that anything of value is gained from just reading the book. Because I have decided to put my marriage first, and I’m committed to making my reconciliation work, I went through each one, even when they began to feel a bit repetitive (probably because I read through it in two days). All in all, I found reading this book and working through the exercises to be well worth the time.

4 Stars Excellent resource
My wife and I are back together. Although struggling, this book was a great help when I need a great deal of help.

1 Star “Save your money”
This was a very bad book. Save your money and if she comes back do not do the same things that caused her to leave in the first place. Change yourself for the better and let her see those positive changes if you do reconcile.

If you did not treat her badly and she left you then you need to find someone who appreciates you and keep her out of your life because the problem is with her not you.

This is free advice that will work and save you from spending money on a worthless book like this.

Parents in Pain Overcoming the Hurt and Frustration of Problem Children

John White offers comfort and counsel to the parents of children with severe problems like rebellion, alcoholism, drug abuse, homosexuality, or suicidal tendencies.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great Resource for Parents who need Tough love encouragment
This is a growing group of people, who as parents find some of their children in such positions as they need to take those “Hosea/Gomer” steps in Hosea 2 of abandoning them until they hit bottom and realize “Gee, it was better with my first husband.”

This is solid book with good advice to help such parents in such difficult scenarios have the reassurance they’re not the only ones; have the encouragment to tough love it out, and also, neve give up on their kids or themselves as loving parents.

Have used this book professionally in counseling, and unfortunately, in my personal parenting as well. Excellent, blessed resource.

5 Stars A great read for parents in pain
As a parent of a wayward child I can identify with this book. A must read for all parents and especially for those whose child has turn away from the faith. Gives practical ideas on how to cope with the frustration, embarressment and pain.

5 Stars Someone Who Understands “Parents in Pain”
As a parent who had experienced many of the pains addressed by Dr. White in this book, I felt grateful — grateful that he had so simply and so eloquently described many of the emotions that my husband and I encountered several years ago. As a current graduate student in Counseling, I found this resource one which I would happily share with Christian parents who find themselves dealing with these issues. The book presents hope and practical advice that parents so desparately need. It serves to remind them of a principle that at the times is so easy to forget — you can’t live your child’s life for them, and you aren’t really helping by always rescuing them from the consequences of their actions. Finally, I appreciated Dr. White’s gentle and non-critical use of scriptural references and applications. He accomplished his goal, at least with this reader, of reminding me that ours is a God who is able and very willing to help us when we are in pain and that the help He gives may not be that for which we prayed, but it will always be that which is indeed the best.

5 Stars Excellent book
This is a practical and compassionate book for parents struggling with out of control teenagers. It is written from a Christian viewpoint by a psychiatrist who had problems withe one of his own children. It covers the issues of low self esteem, threats of violence, nights of worry, illegal activity, etc., in a pragmatic way. The guidance is helpful – it won’t take away the pain but it gives some idea of how to manage the situation.Parents in Pain: Overcoming the Hurt and Frustration of Problem Children

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars A Textbook that I will keep
This is the first book that I have gotten for a class that seriously made me say “Sweet!” I will keep this book and use it as a become a Youth Minister

5 Stars One fo the Best!
Helping the Struggling Adolescent is one of the best resource books on my shelf. While I am sure not everyone will agree with Dr. Parrott’s conclusions or methods, this is one of the best books on helping teens through some of the most difficult issues in life. If you are looking for a book that you can pull off your shelf in a crisis to help you get some footing with what to do next, this is the book for you!

5 Stars Very Helpful & Informative Book
Great book, each chapter has a similar outline so you are not confused when going to new chapters about where a particular item may be.

1 Star no, thanks
This book is very,very Christian. I was expecting something far less so. In fact, I want to get rid of it because it mentions God and Jesus and so forth at least every other page. This book is a stinker! (no-I am not an a godless heathen)!

5 Stars A must have for anyone working with youth!
I have been in youth ministry for nine years and this is the best comprehensive book I have for youth in crisis. It deals with every imaganable problem young people are facing and uses sound biblical, theological and sosiological information on how best to help as a youth pastor or youth leader.
As a matter of fact I don’t even know where the text is right now because it is in such high demand from my youth sponsors.
Helping Stuggling Adolescents uses many tools to help the reader get into the mind of the struggling teen. One example is it uses case studies. It also has test that can be used in assessing problem situations.
In my view this is a must buy for any new youth pastor and an important tool in anyone’s hand who works with youth in a Christian enviornment.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Better books exist
Since the break up of our 6 year relationship I have purchased many books. This one was not as helpful as the others because the information was very introductory and not deep enough. It seemed like the book is saying that God is the answer to saving the marriage. Maybe true, but I was hoping for a book with more deep psychological analysis. I recommend the books “Letting Go” by Dr. Tracy Cabot, and “Make Up Don’t Break Up” by Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil.

5 Stars Mates that Wanted Out
There was a lot of great information. For the spouse that has cheated or is thinking about cheating, it has the ability to make then take a second look at their motives, actions and how the other spouse feels. If they are willing to read “When a Mate Wants Out” it gives them a glimpse of what the other partner may be experiencing. Most importantly is gives the partner who has been hurt the opportunity to see that anything is possible through Christ and just because one spouse says it’s over…God may say differently. It gives hope in a situation that may seem doomed for failure. It only takes one partner to believe and have faith. God does the rest!!!! It changes attitudes and mindsets while you heal the broken places.

5 Stars Common sence
I felt this book was well planned. The research and insight was eye opening and helpful. I now see quite a bit of inner strength to see this situation through to the end. Even if he does continue on with the divorce, as I was told as recently as yesterday, nothing is set in stone. Changes in myself have already caused changes in my husband which he is very surprized and confused by. With what I have learned and God’s help, this situation can be turned around.

3 Stars Too “religious”
This book gave me food for thought. However it was “too religious” for me and the general population. It was a little “blaming” of the left-out spouse.

5 Stars Secrets for Saving a Marriage
I got a lot of help from this book.It is from a christian viewpoint, and that is what I was looking for. God wants us to have a happy marriage and He does not want us to take any type of abuse, physical or mental. If you are a christian and you need good advice,you really want to save your marriage, this is a wonderful book
