Separated and Waiting Book

If you are physically separated from your spouse, chances are you're searching for answers to some very tough questions--such as "Why did this happen to me?" or "How will I cope?"

Waiting to be reconciled or divorced can bring confusion, despair, and hopelessness. Whether you've been separated for a short while or a long time, "Separated and Waiting" offers the motivation and understanding you need to bring wholeness back into your life--despite the uncertainty of the future of your marriage.

Marital separation brings with it unique fears, uncertainties, and struggles. From her own experiences, Jan Northington offers hope as she encourages you to think about such questions as: Who are you waiting for? Why? Do you think that you are worth changing? Why? What emotions do you have that surprise or embarrass you? What have you used to bargain with? Did it work? If you could draw a graph of your self-image over the years, how would it look? Do you feel isolated and cut off from social relationships? Do you find it hard to fit in? What can you thank God for?

"Separated and Waiting" provides good advice and comforting words for facing the fears, confusion, and struggles that lie ahead. You will find freedom from guilt and loneliness. You will also find freedom to love without expectations.

Finally, a book that fills the gap between marriage and divorce and reconciliation. Separated and Waiting teaches readers how to wait with a new attitude, stop worrying, and stay in touch with God. Each chapter is followed by questions that help readers reflect on and implement the material, offering information, encouragement, and guidance.
