Desperate Marriages: Moving Toward Hope and Healing in Your Relationship
In this expanded and updated version of his 1999 bookLoving Solutions, Chapman draws on years of counseling couples with severe marital problems to argue that most marriages can be saved. Chris Fabry's smooth radio-style baritone is always easy on the ears, but his upbeat delivery strikes a false note, especially when cheerfully describing intractable spousal strife. Many of the problems (dealing with spouses who are irresponsible, abusive, depressed or addicted, for example) won't apply to everyone, and the audio format makes it difficult for listeners to skip around. A bonus of the audio version is a 15-minute telephone interview with the author on the final CD discussing his concept of love languages, his personal life and career, his Christian faith, the problems of his own early marriage and the genesis of this book.A Northfield paperback.
