"An invaluable resource . . . For Christians dealing with the challenges of mental illness in their spouse, this is a must-read.” — BlueInk Reviews, starred review

Many books exist to help the mentally ill or addicted. But this book is here to help you.

Struggling spouses may abandon their relationships from sheer exhaustion. This book helps you regain strength and find healthy ways to move forward with a unique blend of Christian perspectives and research-based insights.

Each chapter speaks to a common frustration or question, including:

  • Can I survive this?
  • How can I start feeling like myself again?
  • It’s not fair!
  • My spouse is walking all over me!
  • I’m totally drained and afraid.
  • My hopes for my life are unraveling.
As you explore each topic, you’ll cherish the wise Bible quotations, life application insights, and the colorful, often humorous stories from the authors' thirty-five-year marriage. Discover that you are not alone as you peer into the authors' inner lives and thoughts as they experienced gut-wrenching anguish and the exhausting effects of mental illness on a relationship.

Mental health professionals and spiritual advisors contributed to the design and contents of this meticulously reviewed resource with one objective, stated in the book:

“If spouses of the mentally ill or addicted can be spiritually strengthened and learn practical things they can do independently, more marriages can be saved.”

Start reading today. Pamper yourself. Focus on your self-care and increase your connection to God's power.

“*Starred Review* “Christian and Helen Bohlen's mental illnesses nearly destroyed their marriage, but they found a way to have a happy relationship after all. They detail their struggles in this invaluable resource for couples coping with mental, emotional, and/or addiction issues….This well-written, insightful book is primarily intended for readers whose spouses suffer from mental illness. Helen's perspective, included throughout, brings valuable insight into the minds of suffering spouses.”
- Booklist

"Christians who want a very different form of marital advice guide that embraces the special challenges of mental illness and communication issues will find Healing the Stormy Marriage a unique discussion. It addresses topics that more general marital advice books often fail to consider."
- Diane C. Donovan, Senior Reviewer Donovan's Literary Services

"This promising self-help text shows that addiction and other mental health challenges don't have to destroy or end relationships...With a focus on mindfulness practices, the book discusses the emotional states and reactions of Christian spouses in different mental health and addiction scenarios...Healing the Stormy Marriage outlines healthy habits for Christian couples hoping to initiate mutual spiritual and emotional growth; its work is accessible and applicable to every kind of relationship."
- Foreword Review

"Christian and Helen Bohlen's mental illnesses nearly destroyed their marriage, but they found a way to have a happy relationship after all...While Bohlen's methods for success center on God, the Bible and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, married couples of all walks of life will find something useful here. But for Christians dealing with the challenges of mental illness in their spouse, this is a must-read."
