Together But Alone: When God Means Something Different to Your Spouse

You attend church on Sunday while your husband golfs. You want to join a weekly small faith-sharing group, but your wife wants you to spend time with her. You want to talk about a great spiritual book you've read, but you cannot engage your spouse in discussion. During a family crisis, you want to pray with your spouse, but your spouse doesn't know how to pray. What is a spouse to do?

Donna Erickson Couch, herself a veteran of such situations, offers spiritual guidance to help us keep our quest for a deeper understanding and richer experience of God from threatening the peace in our marriages and homes. With practical suggestions on how to compromise on expressions of faith, resolve schedule conflicts and talk about the issues that separate you and your spouse, Together But Alone is a valuable resource for married men and women on their journey of faith.
