"Separation places you in an arena in which you can develop a new understanding of yourself and your spouse. Separation is not necessarily the beginning of the end. It may be only the beginning! Gary Chapman believes that the biblical ideal for a separated couple calls for reconciliation. If you are separated, you may not feel like reconciling. You may not see hope for a reunion. But through small, simple steps, Dr. Chapman shows that you may be able to achieve reconciliation with your mate. He deals with the question of dating while separated, how to relate to your children during this time, and ways to improve communication. Assignments are given to encourage growth both as individuals and as a couple. A practical book for both the separated husband and wife.
