Book Description

July 1, 2007
Books abound for those whose marriages are crumbling or have ended. But what about those marriages committed "'til death do us part" and yet are going through a period of time when one spouse is carrying the burden' What happens to a woman when marriage gets heavy and she gets weary' Often, when a woman ends up carrying the weight of the marriage (due to her husband's health, choices, workload, etc.), her tendency is to "get out or check out." She may consider her husband's distraction an opportunity to do her own thing. But is there a better way to walk through this season' Even thrive'Susie Larson stands in as an encouraging friend, walking with you, helping you to 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 time and remember that God has His arms around you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gift to Treasure, August 25, 2007
This review is from: Alone in Marriage: Encouragement For the Times When It's All Up to You (Paperback)
This book was such a gift and blessing to my spirit. I appreciate the fact that Mrs. Larson didn't "bad mouth" husbands or put the blame on them, but rather emphasized the fact that GOD can work miraculously even in the most one-sided situations. She reminds us that we all have our flaws and that the canvas of marriage is an excellent place for GOD to create HIS masterpiece. She offers many spiritually practical ways of working through the anxiety, fear, and anger that understandably surface during these times, and she also provides numerous examples of how GOD works through even the most difficult circumstances.

I was doubly blessed to find that many of her suggestions and insight have spilled over into other areas of my life that aren't marriage related. I highly recommend this book to my married friends and also my single friends who are waiting for their mates. I truly believe that the more biblically based information we receive the better prepared we are to face the battles ahead. (Thank you for sharing such a great gift!)

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book for some., January 7, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Alone in Marriage: Encouragement For the Times When It's All Up to You (Paperback)
I think that this is a good book for some women. She has a lot of good thoughts. The theme that is most helpful, I believe, is to encourage women to really depend on and lean into their relationship with the Lord. It may not be the best resource for the women that are in really painful marriages that don't seem to change. I think there are better books for this need. In my opinion, it is good for those whose marriage aren't what they had hoped for but not for the women in a lot of pain, dealing with some serious challenges.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alone in Marriage, July 1, 2007
This review is from: Alone in Marriage: Encouragement For the Times When It's All Up to You (Paperback)
This book is so uplifting & encouraging to someone married but walking
alone for a time. It's like an angel on your shoulder saying you can do
this... just keep walking. I could have easily given up and walked
away from my marriage many times. This book put the fight back in me.
It gave me the strength and courage to continue on. I am so grateful!!!
I highly recommend this book to anyone feeling alone in their marriage for what ever reason.
