Have you ever wondered, "Can I survive this marriage? Will we ever be happy?" This book provides instant relief for "healthy" spouses who suffer from their partner's irrational, unstable, depressed, or abusive behaviours by helping them feel understood, cared for, and guided through biblical principles and advice from world-renowned marriage and mental health professionals.

If these thoughts keep you up at night, this book is for you:

My needs aren't being met. What about me?
How do I stop my spouse from walking all over me?
I can't plan anything because our life is so chaotic.
My hopes for what my life would be are unravelling. I'm starting to lose my own sanity and faith.

The authors answer these questions and more with riveting stories and sprinkles of humour from their own incredible journey. And today, they are happy after all, against all the odds.
