Hope For the Separated: Wounded Marriages Can Be Healed
Product Description
The unfortunate reality is that Christians are separating and divorcing at the same rate as the unbelieving world. But does separation have to mean the end? You may not feel like reconciling. You may not see hope for a reunion. But the biblical ideal for a separated couple is reconciliation. So how do you do it? When doors slam and angry words fly, when things just aren’t working out, and even when your spouse has abandoned your trust, there is hope. Hope for the Separated will show you through God’s Word that your marriage can be restored. Recognizing that restoration will not happen for everyone, Dr. Chapman also gives insightful advice for those who experience the pain of divorce.

This book is heavily oriented towards Christians and a Biblical motivation for marriage. I picked this up after reading Chapman’s “Five Love Languages,” which was inspired by his faith but grounded in observation and study of real people.
“Hope for the Separated” does offer good advice on how to approach living apart, what to do with the time, how to approach reconcilliation, etc. Unfortunately, the only motivation given for reconcilliation, as opposed to divorce, is that the Bible says so. While this is enough for many, the approach of “Five Love Languages” led me to expect something more widely applicable.
In sum, this book provides much of the “How” but not a whole lot of “Why,” unless a Biblical explaination is all the “Why” that you need.

Of all the ’self help’ how to get your lover back books I’ve read, this one was the least helpful. It definitly had a similar tone… it can work.. but turning my focus towards God does not feel like it will immediatly net the results I’m looking for. I’d like a better understanding of why she left, and what I can do to improve myself, in an effort to win her back.
