Treatment for depression has come a long way, but often left out of the equation are the devastating effects depression can have on a marriage. The feelings of alienation, guilt and anger can be overwhelming. Authors Amy Viets and Bernadette Stankard have both lived with a depressed spouse, and they offer this book as a source of support for the pain that spouses may feel as they watch their loved ones struggle with depression. In addition to drawing from their own experiences, they have used examples from other people who have first-hand knowledge of depression in a spouse to address issues such as: Depression's effect on finances, Depression's effect on faith, The challenges of treatment, The importance of self-care, Life after depression.
In clear, insightful prose, rich with real-life examples, Stankard discusses the multiple intelligences and how they enable readers to pray "as they are" and so develop a deeper friendship and intimacy with the God whose love transforms them.
