WHEN YOU SAID "FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE," YOU NEVER IMAGINED "THE WORSE" WOULD BE SO HARD

And you're not alone. Jane is dealing with her husband's addiction to pornography. Melanie is watching her husband's obsession with computer games eat up all of their family time. Julie takes life a day at a time as her husband drifts deeper and deeper into depression. Paula's husband is an over-the-road trucker who is rarely home.

All of these women are experiencing a season of intense loneliness in their marriages. Susie Larson has been there too and she has a message for you:

When faith, hope, and love are present, it's possible to thrive in every season of your life- even in the difficult times.

In Alone in Marriage, Susie stands as an encouraging friend, walking with you, helping you discern how anxiety and anger will slow you down; and how loneliness and disappointment can actually refine and bless you. You will be challenged and inspired as you wrap your arms around this trying time, remembering God has His arms around you. And, as your soul gets nourished and your love matures, your marriage will also improve and be blessed.

If you want more from God and your capacity for spiritual things to increase even during this trying time, you've come to the right place.
