    About this audiobook

    What to do when you feel like giving up
    When you said, "I do," you entered marriage with high hopes, dreaming it would be supremely happy.
    You never intended it to be miserable.

    Millions of couples are struggling in desperate marriages. But the story doesn't have to end there. Dr. Gary Chapman writes, "I believe that in every troubled marriage, one or both partners can take positive steps that have the potential for changing the emotional climate in their marriage."

    Loving Your Spouse When You Feel Like Walking Away, the revised and updated edition of the award-winning Desperate Marriages, teaches you how to:

      Recognize and reject the myths that hold you captive
      Better understand your spouse's behavior
      Take responsibility for your own thoughts, feelings, and actions
      Make choices that can have a lasting, positive impact on you and your spouse

    An experienced marriage and family counselor, Gary Chapman speaks to those whose spouse is any of the following:

      Irresponsible
      A workaholic
      Controlling
      Uncommunicative
      Verbally abusive
      Physically abusive
      Sexually abusive
      Unfaithful
      Addicted to alcohol or drugs
      Depressed

    Marriage has the same potential to be miserable as it does to be blissful. Read Loving Your Spouse When You Feel Like Walking Away to learn how you can turn things around.

    • 5/5
      What an amazing book, well written and well narrated. It talks about the real issues that couples face in their marriages on a daily basis. I’ve learnt a lot from it. I’ve learnt that I’m responsible for the way l feel and the people around me and the environment must not determine my feelings. I’ve also learnt that I must be the agent for positive change. Lastly, I’ve learnt to fight for my marriage and love my spouse unconditionally. I would rate this book at 100%.

      I absolutely love this book and I finished listening to the audio in 3days. That's a big deal for someone who hardly ever finishes a book. I'm going to look for 5 love languages audio as I have never been able to finish the hard copy. Thanks again. This book is a blessing. I'll use it for myself and my clients. I'm a relationship and marriage counselor in Nigeria. I wouldn't mind more recommendations on these kinds of books. Thanks again.
