Marriage on the Mend

Healing Your Relationship After Crisis, Separation, or Divorce

Author: Clint and Penny A. Bragg

"Every broken marriage has the hope of becoming a saved marriage."

Approximately fifty percent of the couples who sign a marriage license will also sign on the dotted line of a divorce document. In order to turn the tide of this stark statistic, couples who have considered or experienced separation or divorce must be given real tools to reconcile, restore, and rebuild their relationships. Marriage on the Mend provides these tools for couples in crisis.

Clint and Penny Bragg know what it means to be that couple. After being divorced for eleven years and living 3,000 miles from each other, they were remarried--but the difficult work of restoration continued long after that second ceremony. The Braggs know that couples who reconcile face a unique set of challenges, including unresolved arguments, poor communication habits, unforgiveness, and betrayed trust. Biblically based materials are required to walk through this treacherous territory toward full healing and restoration.

This practical, realistic book identifies roadblocks that may stall relationship progress, recommends ideas to deepen intimacy, offers solutions to effectively handle past hurts and conflicts, and applies Scripture to every aspect of the process in order to proactively stabilize and safeguard the marriage. At the end of each chapter, the Braggs include a prayer for couples to share to help facilitate healing.

The one thing all broken relationships have in common is that true healing takes time. Using the framework of Nehemiah's effort to restore Jerusalem's walls following the Israelite's exile and captivity, Marriage on the Mend provides a clear framework for the restoration of relationships.

"The Braggs are the real deal. And this book should be required reading for any couple who wants not only a restored--but a thriving--marriage."
--Ginger Kolbaba, author of Surprised by Remarriage

Their story will inspire and encourage you, and grow your faith in a God who is for marriage and never gives up!
--Robert S. Paul, Vice President of Focus on the Family's National Institute of Marriage

"Any couple who is serious about making their marriage work will benefit beyond their wildest expectations when they follow the principles in this book."
--Joe and Michelle Williams, authors of Yes, Your Marriage Can Be Saved

"Is your marriage in trouble? You don't need a few tools and tips for better communication. You need a miracle from God to change your hearts and transform your relationship. The Scriptures that Clint and Penny share in this book have the power to make that miracle a reality!"
--Dr. Rob Rienow, Founder of Visionary Family Ministries
