“A valuable resource for Christians to walk alongside their spouses with mental health challenges.” “It was a marriage disaster in the making, according to Ramachandran. Her husband, Keith, was experiencing multiple mental health conditions, including PTSD, depression, and severe OCD. His compulsive recurring behaviors, such as hours of ritual cleaning, were worsening, affecting her own mental health. Yet the author believes God brought the two together permanently—and uses marital challenges to transform lives. This book delivers the author’s story and self-help plan for Christians to walk alongside their spouses with similar mental health challenges. Ramachandran provides resources to help Christians sustain challenging marriages, diving into her own success in setting boundaries and using other self-care methods when her husband chooses unhealthy behaviors. She also includes Christian song lists, biblical verses and prayers, techniques for setting boundaries, crisis and healthcare team plans, and even useful empathetic phrases. Biblical Christians will be most comfortable with this material, which provides a valuable resource for the challenges of living with mental health disorders.”
