It's a hard reality for some: Marriage is
difficult, disappointing, and painful. Your spouse is unwilling to change. How do you continue,
and not just exist but thrive?
Christian psychologists Michael Misja and Chuck Misja show you how to be free from shame
when your marriage is not "successful" by conventional Christian standards. Their relational
process for moving from hoping in your marriage to hoping in God will help you move beyond
suffering and mere surviving to finding joy and supernatural thriving.
