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.… (more)

NCLA Review - This is a book written for women by women who themselves have struggled through a hard season of marriage. Every marriage faces crises. How we deal with them makes all the difference. It shows you from a personal point how to deal with anger, fear, worry, and self-pity—things we have all gone through. The second section talks about weights we carry and how God uses them to refine us. Things like disappointment, loneliness, waiting and imperfection are heavy loads, but when carried correctly they aren't as heavy. The third part is about making our climb to where God wants us to be. Everything we do as women affects the people around us. With God by our side, we can take one step at a time to conquer the biggest mountains we face. A good book with good explanations. It has study questions and could be used for a women's Bible study.
