In a social climate that actually encourages divorce rather than reconciliation, Courage to Love ... When Your Marriage Hurts offers help and hope instead. Building on the experience of Retrouvaille, a successful church-sponsored ministry, it focuses on building relationships. It invites couples to reconciliation, to rebuilding trust, to learning the skills necessary for healthy communication, and to growing spiritually through the lived reality of married life. First published in 1992, Courage to Love ... When Your Marriage Hurts has been welcomed not only by couples struggling with the difficulties of married life, but also by marriage counselors, family life directors, and various marriage ministries.
