What happened to us?

Why is there no joy, no friendship in our marriage?

Why don't we feel like a team anymore?

If you've ever felt this way about your marriage, you're not alone. Marriage is hard. Every couple comes to a place of disappointment and distance at one point or another. The good news is that your relationship can get better. If you're both willing to work at it, it can work out.  

Teacher, author, and creator of "Living the Sweet Wife" Chelsea Damon has coached thousands of couples through the hardest seasons of their marriage. In I Thought This Would Make Me Happy, she'll help you take your first steps to a renewed and life-giving marriage. You'll gain the tools you need to:

  • Identify the problems—Anger, bitterness, and resentment arise in all marriages. You'll learn how to assess what the problems are and step away from destructive patterns.
  • Restore harmony—Reflection sections and journal exercises are specially designed to help you and your spouse forgive each other and communicate more deeply.
  • Cultivate the good qualities—Each chapter is designed to help you and your spouse build the characteristics that make a marriage reflect Christ and grow stronger.

 

With stories, practical tips, and biblical truths, I Thought This Would Make Me Happy will show you a way forward. Your relationship with your spouse may be in a difficult season...but it can get better.

A marriage full of joy, grace, and unity is possible
