Product Description
Books have been written for couples preparing for marriage, and for individuals walking the long road after a divorce. But what about people somewhere in between? What about those whose marriage isn't failing, but flawed?With the authority of a professional psychologist and the wisdom of a pastor, Dr. Chapman offers hope for troubled marriages in Loving Solutions. He presents reasonable solutions based on God's Word to couples at every level of need. Spouses struggling with controlling and uncommunicative mates will find a remedy here, as will the partners of abusive or alcoholic mates.In Loving Solutions, Dr. Chapman draws on years of experience as a marriage counselor and as a Christian. Helping readers solve problems rather than abandon their marriage, he supplies solutions that are not only practical, but permanent. Readers will learn the six principles of 'reality living,' and take first steps toward healing their marriage.

 Alternatives for divorce March 1, 2003
If you think your marriage, or know of someone who's marriage is in deep trouble, this book can offer you some hope. This author gets to the point very quickly and offers practical advice on the most difficult of obstacles to overcome in high risk marriages. The topics discussed are irresponsibility, workaholics, over bearing spouses, abusive (both verbal and physical), alcoholics, and a few more. No "magic bullet" is being offered which makes this text more valuable for those that are serious and honest about their problems if they are faced with one of these major problems. Even though most of the cases presented are extreme for most marriages, this book should also be helpful for those that want to be sensitive to early warning signs and hence, stay out of these situations. This book is easy to read and understand and is sensitive to those in these situations who may be reluctant to obtain a copy.
 Finally, A Book About Those Difficult Marital Problems March 20, 2001

What happens when a woman chooses to remain in a marriage involving verbal abuse or even unfaithfulness--for the sake of her children? Most books write her off as co-dependent and offer no direction.Yet with recent information from Wallerstein's study, we have come to realize that children are often better off raised in such environments than if parents were divorced. And some are willing to pay such a price for their little ones. Others have hope that things will change down the road--how does one cope in the meantime? Everyone, it seems, avoids addressing these questions--except for Gary Chapman. Chapman's direction is practical. He also helps counselors/pastors accept that fact that some problems have no solutions and just have to be accepted if the marriage is to continue. As a pastor of 22 years, I take off my hat to Chapman, for he is the first to address these realities. Good stuff.
