Publisher's Synopsis
Many marriages are difficult, especially when the union is comprised of two very different broken people living in a broken world. When alcoholism is added to the equation, marriage becomes even more challenging. Still, no matter how often we pray about it or wish for it, positive change does not happen overnight. It takes unconditional love, patience, and grace for our spouses and ourselves to ultimately heal and move forward into a new chapter.
In an inspirational guide, Ruth Ann Boaz draws on her faith-filled experiences living with alcoholics to share tools and resources that help Christian wives navigate through the daily chaos caused by addiction, realize that divorce is not the only option, and find peace even if their spouse never stops drinking. In addition to detailing her personal story, Ruth offers insight into why it is so difficult for an alcoholic to admit he has an addiction, why it is important for wives to give their controlling nature a break and realize they also have an addiction, how to find healing and forgiveness, and how to make big decisions. Included are journal prompts that encourage personal growth. Wives over Addiction provides tools, personal stories, and resources to help Christian wives of alcoholics lean on hope, faith, and love to find peace throughout their daily challenges.
