Fighting for Your Marriage While Separated: A Practical Guide for the Brokenhearted

I never thought that I needed a book such as this during my time of separation from my spouse. It definitely gave me hope in all circumstances, reconciliation or divorce. It helped me to realize that I should focus on me, that I should focus on God and what he’s doing in my life, and not to put all my hope in faith into someone else’s decisions to be with me or not. We get one life to live, and it’s not going to be through waiting on a yes or a no from a spouse. This book saved my life.

This is one of those books I wish I would have read before going through something like separation and divorce. I think couples take for granted one another, not understanding that NO ONE is exempt from going through a marital crisis. I was in my 23rd year of marriage when all started to fall apart. To my understanding we were a Christian marriage and we had a Christina family along with our four children. Therefore, I never thought we could get a divorce. But no one knows exactly what goes on in each persons heart, and one day, all can finally burst out, and that's what happened to me and my ex husband. All came crashing down and we did not know how to handle our crisis... Linda's first book, Broken Heart on Hold, and Linda's 911 Ministry gave me the tools I needed to survive a marriage crisis, that I thought was going to kill me emotionally, physically, spiritually and psychologically. Although in my case, my marriage did not survive. However, God DID used this time and crisis in my life, to restore my personal life. I recommend Linda's new book to anyone who is eager to learn how to go through and survive a crisis such as a marriage separation and/or divorce. The depth and experience of her new writing on this topic, it's simply the "antibiotic" or "electric shock" for a marriage that is sick and dying! Take each word at heart and trust that God led you to this book because that's exactly what it is! (Love you Linda! God bless)

After being married for 16 years, my husband suddenly told me in 2018 that he no longer believed the Gospel and no longer loved me. It has been a very difficult 3 years since, but I’ve also learned a lot and grown much closer to God than ever before. One of the resources that has meant more than words can say to me throughout this process is this book by Linda Rooks. I highly recommend it!

My wife and I have been separated just over 2 months. This book has helped me sort through all the confusion and pain. It is a must have for anyone going through separation. Thank you so much Linda Rooks!! I really can't say enough about what a blessing your book is to me during this difficult time!

There seems to be an unlimited number of resources on the subject of marriage and divorce, however very few deal with improving marriages while in the midst of separation. Linda Rooks' latest offering, Fighting for Your Marriage While Separated, details the steps that may be taken in a broken marriage relationship that appears to be hopeless. Linda encourages the reader to align their energy with making positive changes within themselves which could result in constructive influences on the relationship. The book is spiritually based and focuses on letting go of the desire to control the relationship and releasing the marriage to God through prayer. Linda identifies with the reader on a personal level because she has experienced what most are going through while separated from their spouse. The book includes a summary of recommended resources which provides additional help to the reader.

This book is for all couples before marriage, when it starts to fall apart, and after it falls apart. It teaches you so much about how to treat each other. This will help show you your failures and not just your spouse's if you read it with prayer and an open mind. No on is perfect after all.

This book has amazing insight on how to lean on the only One who can free you from the enemy’s battle ground, Your Mind. I have been fighting for restoration for a year now, and everything I’ve done in my own strength and ability has gotten me no where. This book has helped me realize, that I don’t know what the outcome will be, but either way, God has something amazing for me. It’s an extremely painful process, but remember He is with you every step of this painful journey.

Easy read. Good suggestions. Helping me through the process.
