About this listen
What to do when you feel like giving up
When you said, “I do”, you entered marriage with high hopes, dreaming it would be supremely happy. You never intended for it to be miserable.
Millions of couples are struggling in desperate marriages. But the story doesn’t have to end there. Dr. Gary Chapman writes, “I believe that in every troubled marriage, one or both partners can take positive steps that have the potential for changing the emotional climate in their marriage.”
Loving Your Spouse When You Feel Like Walking Away, the revised and updated edition of the award-winning Desparate Marriages, teaches you how to:
- Recognize and reject the myths that hold you captive
- Better understand your spouse’s behavior
- Take responsibility for your own thoughts, feelings, and actions
- Make choices that can have a lasting, positive impact on you and your spouse
An experienced marriage and family counselor, Gary Chapman speaks to those whose spouse is any of the following:
- Irresponsible
- A workaholic
- Controlling
- Uncommunicative
- Verbally abusive
- Physically abusive
- Sexually abusive
- Unfaithful
- Addicted to alcohol or drugs
- Depressed
Marriage has the same potential to be miserable as it does to be blissful. Listen to Loving Your Spouse When You Feel Like Walking Away to learn how you can turn things around.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

The purpose of this book is to describe these recurring seasons of marriage, help you and your spouse identify which season your marriage is in, and show you how to enhance your marriage in all four seasons.

Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy. Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Love and Respect is for anyone.

Being in a relationship without knowing how to share your feelings and receive your partner’s feelings in useful ways is like jumping into a pool without knowing how to swim. You can flail around all you want, but it’s not going to keep you afloat for very long—you need to be able to move in any direction at will. Like swimming, knowing how to share your feelings and respond to your partner's feelings will move your relationship in the direction you want: toward more intimacy, closeness, connection, and trust.

WOW! WOW! WOW! OMG!
My marriage summed up in so many ways that no one understands. Im only on chapter 4 and I already feel more understood then I do with my family, friends, counsellor and doctor. I can't wait to hear what is to come.... at the very least understand our life and make a decision from there. Marriage or divorce, my head and hear at at the great war I have had to deal with, may e understanding will help the war to end and to move forward however it may move forward.

Not the usual Gary Chapman gem
This turned out to be a catch all for marriage problems and 80% of the book didn't apply to my situation. While control issues, addiction Ann's mental and physical abuse are important, it just wasn't relevant for my purposes. Disappointing.
