Marriage is the norm for Christians with 84% tying the knot according to The Barna Group. But sadly, divorce rates among born again Christians are virtually indistinguishable from non-believers with about 1 in 3 going through a split. While most marriage books are designed to help marriages improve, Marriage Triage: A Guide to Healing for the Hurting Spouse (Ambassador International; June 2012; $12.99, paperback) is geared towards spiritual survival for couples in crisis.
> Marriage Triage includes a “quick start guide” for the hurting > spouse that reminds them of God’s grace, encourages them to document > their feelings and explains how to endure through the crisis. Geared > towards either the offender or the offended spouse, author Steve > Goode draws from his 11 years in law enforcement and time as a > marriage and counseling pastor. “This book will provide a simple, > but systematic way for a husband or wife to walk through their > suffering, and honor Christ in the process,” explains Goode. “This > is the book that they must first read in order to stop the > temptation to react irresponsibly and un-Biblically in their > circumstances.”
