LifeLine mini-book - Help! Disability Pressures Our Marriage
ISBN: 9781633421554Book Description:
A mini-book that addresses the marital challenges and heart issues which often accompany disability, whether they enter a family through a child or an adult.
Disability enters families in many different ways. Perhaps a genetic abnormality results in a child being born with a disability. Or perhaps a work injury renders a husband or wife unemployable or in need of 24/7 care. The possibilities are endless. Regardless of the cause, however, disability adds pressure to the marriage relationship. This mini-book is a gift to couples who are looking for biblical help to learn how to respond to their "new normal."
