Publisher's summary

A home ripped apart by one spouse leaving reverberates with a host of unanswered questions. Simple answers don't exist - heartrending complexities do. In the midst of the turmoil, reconciliation may seem out of reach. But there is still hope for those who are willing to fight for their marriages.

In this transformative guide, men and women who are separated but hopeful for restoration will discover life-changing truths about God, themselves, and their marriages. Linda W. Rooks explores practical answers for men and women in the midst of a marriage crisis, guiding them step by step toward hope and a positive outcome, even when fighting for the marriage alone.

After finding hope, strength, and encouragement for their marriages in Rooks' first book, Broken Heart on Hold, many continue on their journeys with new questions as they take the next step. Fighting for Your Marriage While Separated begins where Broken Heart on Hold left off, continuing to guide listeners through the labyrinths of separation, this time with practical answers to their questions.

Fight the right way!

I started listening to this book the very day my wife moved from our home to separate in February 2023. I followed each principle no matter how hard it seemed. Remained humble, prayed and believed/ trusted in God to bring us back together. He did through the power of His Word and following the practices of this book. We were back dating by April and back together by May because this book teaches you how to fight the right way. Stay humble and trust God through the process. I wrote this to give someone else hope. It works. Once you're prayers have been answered and you're on your way to healing, continue to follow Gods guidance to avoid any further potholes. Be well and blessed.

Encouraging Content, Distracting Narration

Worth the time for those seeking help with separation, divorce, and reconciliation. I found the narrator's intonation very distracting.

Great book, weird narrator

The book itself was awesome, but the narrator sounded like a robot. I would much prefer to listen to someone who sounds like a real person

Best book I've ever read!

I'm going through a separation with my husband of 9 years. My spirit was completely broken, even taking a shower was a struggle. This book was a vital piece of my healing process! I couldn't put it down! It gave me so much hope, peace and a sense of direction! I am actually listening to it for the second time. It hit on EVERY point! The author doesn't miss a beat! I highly suggest this book to anyone going through heartache and grieving of a marriage.

Not just for separated couples

This book was very helpful for couples struggling, not just those who are already separated. We are already emotionally distanced, so the feelings and experiences are still similar.

A Must Listen To!

I loved listening to the information given in this audio. It gave me so much hope! The only downside was the voice of the narrator. She draws out a lot of words and it sounds like monotonous whining.

Insightful and compassionate guide for couples facing the challenges of separation

The book provides practical advice and emotional support, especially for those who may feel hopeless or stuck. The author shows the importance of personal healing and spiritual growth during separation, encouraging readers to focus on self-reflection and change rather than controlling their spouse’s actions. There are no quick fixes but instead she offers long-term strategies for personal growth, reconciliation, and rebuilding trust. She shares stories from her own experience and from others who have faced separation, creating a relatable and encouraging narrative.

The step-by-step advice on communication, forgiveness, and setting boundaries is particularly helpful. It offers tools to manage conflict and rebuild intimacy, even when the relationship feels distant. Rooks’ faith-based perspective adds an element of hope, particularly for Christian readers, though the advice is applicable to anyone facing marital difficulties.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is separated from their spouse. Praying for all those who are struggling. God is in control and not you, so give it all to Him though painful.
