I’ve got good news for you if you’re in a bad marriage: No matter how dire your circumstances, there is hope.
When a marriage enters dangerous territory, the journey to get out isn’t easy, but the results can be beautiful.
On our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Saving Your Marriage from Divorce,” psychologist and author Dr. David Clarke shares his proven, 90-day strategy for getting a broken marriage on track toward healing and intimacy.
Dr. Clarke says healing begins by identifying the type of couple you are:
- The couple who admits they’re unhappy and struggling but are willing to work on it.
- The couple in which one spouse is unhappy with the relationship and wants change while the other is happy with the relationship and doesn’t want change.
- The couple whose relationship has succumbed to egregious sin, like an affair, and divorce feels imminent.
Regardless of the circumstances your relationship is facing, there is hope for your marriage. With God’s grace (and some hard work on your part!), your marriage can improve, and you and your spouse can be happy again.
Find out how on your local radio station, online, on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or on our free phone app. We’re talking with Dr. David Clarke about his book, I Don’t Want a Divorce: A 90-Day Guide to Saving Your Marriage.
After 30 years of working with marriages in his therapy practice, Dr. Clarke knows how to help couples move beyond theory and employ straight forward, practical ideas that have been tested by thousands of couples who are thinking about divorce and shown to be effective in helping them build a new relationship together.
Dr. Clarke’s book is available for a gift of any amount. Visit our website or give us a call at 1-800-A-FAMILY (232-6459) for more information.

Carl Jones says
-My wife told me that she still loves me but is not in love with me. She has stated that she thinks she wants a divorce. We have been married for 22 years and have 2 children, 14 and 19. I’ve tried talking to her and I told her that I pray for her every night, which I do. I daily take this before God and ask him to soften her heart. It has been almost a month now. She is a homemaker and doesn’t have a diploma, she tells me that when she can find a job that we will get a divorce. She also stated that she doesn’t want to speak to a counselor. So you have any advice, please pray for us.
