Synopsis

Making your marriage healthy―and making it last―has never been harder. In an age when the pressures on marriage are heavy and divorce is more accepted and easier to obtain, marriages seem to fail as often as they succeed. When you come from a home of divorce, making your own marriage work is even tougher than the norm. Fortunately, in Breaking the Cycle of Divorce, author John Trent, an adult child of divorce himself, gives you the encouragement, insight, and tools you need to beat the odds. Learn how you can, in fact, succeed where your parents failed.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Make sure your marriage makes it!
Is a healthy, lasting relationship only for other people?
If your parents divorced, making your own marriage work can be an uphill climb―or a risk you’re afraid to take. Without a positive example, you can be hobbled by fear and negative patterns you may not even notice.

If you’re worried about your own ability to maintain a satisfying marriage, statistics say you’ve got good reason and a lot of company. Fortunately, author John Trent―an adult child of divorce himself―has faced the same fears and found answers.

In this book you’ll discover how to . . .

• avoid repeating your parents’ mistakes
• root out habits and assumptions that hold you back
• take realistic steps that build the wisdom and persistence you’ll need

Breaking the Cycle of Divorce gives a plan for building a lifelong, thriving relationship. You don’t have to repeat the past. Make your own history with a marriage that works―and endures.
