These are some resources that Jen and I highly recommend in Hope for the Hurting Wife and we’re sharing them with you here as well.
Hope for the Hurting Wife:
“This is the first book about marriage from a Christian perspective that doesn’t gloss over the hard stuff.”
This book is for every wife, whether newlywed or married for fifty-plus years. Most women recognize that healthy marriage requires both commitment and hard work, but how can a wife continue to thrive when marriage goes awry?
We trust that these resources will meet a need in your life, and give you strength and courage to keep on working on your marriage.
