Loving Your Spouse When You Feel Like Walking Away: Real Help for Desperate Hearts in Difficult Marriages Paperback – March 6, 2018

This books had examples and tips that I applied for myself for sure

Encouraging and helpful. This book makes you look at things from a different point of view, giving hope in tough situations!

My husband and I are in a good place now, but spent close to 18 years in toxic patterns. We separated 7 years ago for a brief period and have been reconciled and building on a more solid foundation. I wish we would have had this book then! This book has great tools, no matter what season of marriage you are in.

I enjoyed reading this book... The first marriage helps book I've read in a long time. I especially appreciated the basic truths about accepting responsibility for personal behaviors, though it's easier said than done! He also covers some very difficult topics such as abuse and depression. I gave it a four only because I would have liked him to include a chapter on impulsive and immature spouses. These kinds of behaviors, repeated over time, really take a toll on a relationship. Definitely worth the purchase.

Totally enjoyed the book. Listened to it on Audibal then bought copies for my therapist wife.

As my hubby and I had read Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages and it was helpful to us, when I saw this book I couldn't resist. He writes a very thorough book about a husband and wife facing this dreaded condition. He gives suggestions on how to lovingly handle many of the irritating, annoying, not so nice and some dreaded situations that may be a problem between a husband and wife , by using examples of couples that have gone through these situations and how they handled it. And also gave his opinion on things that were done lovingly by the spouse who chooses to be the caretaker, or how it could've ended in a kinder, more loving, less detrimental way. I would recommend this book to ALL couples facing this disease that no one wants, and for all couples who wish to end the marriage on a better note v.s. exhaustion and relief ,when the affected spouse that has this diagnoses, finally passes.

Good read. I enjoy how it makes you think and look at different ways of understanding. In a way it calms you from making decisions while frustrated

Literally gave me the hope to fight for my marriage & fight for self healing, this book is very insightful about real life struggles that end up hurting us & our marriages, it all starts with you, if you work on you & your issues, you will begin to find personal healing which in turn, leads to healing within the marriage, if you DONT work on YOU FIRST or THINK ITS ALL YOUR SPOUSES/PARTNERS FAULT, your marriage will stay the same or get worse & fail.It's a great read to read by yourself, or as a couple or even in a small group. I highly recommend this book.
