Meet the characters that live, work, dream, and love in the community of Deepwater Cove. Best-selling authors Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer team up to show how four married couples, all in different stages in life, experience the joys and hardships of marriage as examined in Gary Chapman's The Four Seasons of Marriage. In book one, Steve and Brenda face a common problem among middle-age couples: empty nest syndrome. Steve works too much, and with their two children out of the house, Brenda feels lonely and unfulfilled. In order to save their marriage, the two must learn to reconnect. Readers are also introduced to many charming characters, like Cody, the mentally challenged homeless man that shows up on Steve and Brenda's porch; Pete, who owns the Rods 'N' Ends tackle shop; and Patsy Pringle, who owns the Just As I Am beauty parlor, where much of the action takes place.
The series is based on the marriage principles found in Gary Chapman's non-fiction book The Four Seasons of Marriage. Similar in tone and light-hearted, quirky humor as Jan Karon's Mitford series, Fannie Flagg's books or Steel Magnolias. Each book has a study guide that talks about the four seasons of marriage and the healing strategies depicted in that volume's story. Tyndale House Publishers

reviewed It Happens Every Spring, Vol. 1 on March 02, 2013 It Happens Every Spring, Vol. 1
This book was such a wonderful surprise! I started reading it and could not put it down.
The story is about a couple in their mid-forties dealing with the empty nest syndrome. Brenda Hansen who is married to Steve Hansen, is dealing with anger, depression and loneliness that sets in when the children are gone. Steve Hansen owns and operates a Real Estate business that is taking his time and attention away from his marriage. His wife, Brenda, focuses her "empty nest" feelings towards her husband Steve for his lack of interest and support in her needs. Steve is unwilling to admit that he is partly at fault for the direction their marriage is headed and blames it all on his wife. A young man with slight mental disability shows up on Brenda's door step one day and brings with him a belief in God and being a good Christian. Several ladies in town with varying ages gather together at the hair salon and form the "Ladies Tea Club" to meet once a week to be helpful and do good Christian things.
This story brought back so many memories and feelings for me as I was reading. Maybe, if I had read this book many years ago when I was dealing with all the same feelings and emotions, the path I eventually followed would have been a different one.
The author, Gary Chapman, is a marriage counselor and this book is the first in a series that is based on his "The Four Seasons of Marriage". I am so looking forward to reading his next book.
This is a heart warming Christian story that every Christian should pick up and read. Especially those who are finding themselves dealing with an "Empty Nest".
