Marriage By The Book

Many people are pretty much in their marriage alone.  At worst, their spouse wants a divorce.  At best, their spouse is uninterested, unloving, and cold.  Is it possible for the spouse who wants the relationship to do anything to save it?  The answer is yes.  In fact, most marriages are saved when one spouse, acting alone, takes the initiative to save the marriage.  

I know it can be done because that is the situation we were in 18 years ago.  We were headed for divorce.  A PhD psychologist we were seeing for counseling told us that in her 15 years of practice we were the only hopeless couple she had ever seen.  She told us we needed to get a divorce.   Rebekah didn’t take that as the final answer, though.  She acted alone to save our marriage, and she succeeded. 

The biggest key to success is learning to love your spouse God’s way.  Scriptures like 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 and Ephesians 4:32-42 (especially from the Amplified Bible) describe how God’s love acts.  Our book, Marriage By The Book, and CD series, How to Save Your Marriage Alone, go into a lot of detail on this.

If you are in this situation, know that you aren’t alone, and there is hope.
