Remember how you felt on your wedding day? You were happy and in love and planned to stay that way for the rest of your life. But then life happens. Maybe your spouse is coping with deep depression due to chronic pain. Perhaps a chronic illness have impacted everything in your life, from hobbies you did together, to travel plans, to just paying the bills.
Has the "for better or for worst" part turned into "for worse" the majority of the time and you are considering divorce? Or are you just tired of fighting all the time?
Maybe you are even beginning to wonder... "Did I make a mistake and marry the wrong person?"
Marriage is more than just finding the "right" person-it's about working with your spouse through the natural stages of your marriage and growing into a loving, life-long relationship. But when things are rough and don't seem to be getting any better, wouldn't it be easier to call it quits and start from scratch?
If you're looking for a fresh start, The Marriage Mender will give you the solution-based tools you need to begin rebuilding your marriage. With illustrations and exercises, it will teach you how to look to the future of your relationship instead of focusing on the past with its problems. You'll build emotional safety and then learn to communicate more effectively with your spouse, resolve conflict creatively, fight fairly, and much more.
Your marriage is worth saving and The Marriage Mender will show you how.
