Description:
In an age when the pressures on marriage are heavier than ever and divorce is more accepted and easier to obtain, marriages seem to fail as often as they succeed. As an adult child of divorce, Dr. John Trent offers insights into why adult children of divorce tend to repeat their parents' mistakes. He then lays out a plan for a lifelong marriage that is strong and healthy. Couples will learn how to avoid repeating the mistakes that often lead to divorce.

Statistics indicate that if your parents divorced, you’re far more likely than someone from an “intact” family to get divorced. The same is true for your brothers and sisters. You may also know that children of divorce have a higher school dropout rate, a higher incidence of drug use, and increased relational struggles.

And so you find yourself asking, “Can I break out of this destructive cycle? Can I succeed where my parents failed? And if it’s possible, how can I make it happen? What do I have to do?”

As an adult child of divorce, author John Trent has faced the same fears and asked the same questions, and in Breaking the Cycle of Divorce, he offers insights into why adult children of divorce tend to repeat their parents’ mistakes. He then lays out a plan for facing your fears, making reasonable and realistic changes, and getting the help you need.

You don’t have to become a negative statistic. You can have a marriage that’s strong . . . that thrives . . . and that gives your own children a solid foundation for happily married lives.

Can you—an adult child of divorce—build a healthy, lasting marriage?
Making your marriage healthy—and making it last—has never been harder. In an age when the pressures on marriage are heavy and divorce is more accepted and easier to obtain, marriages seem to fail as often as they succeed.

When you come from a home of divorce, making your own marriage work is even tougher than the norm. Because you didn't receive the example of a loving and committed marriage, you instead got a curse. And if you're like most adult children of divorce, that curse now manifests itself in your life in ways that are deadly to relationships.

So if you're worried about your own ability to build and maintain a satisfying marriage, you've got good reason—and a lot of company.

Fortunately, in Breaking the Cycle of Divorce, author John Trent, an adult child of divorce himself, gives you the encouragement, insight, and tools you need to beat the odds. Learn how you can, in fact, succeed where your parents failed.

Breaking the Cycle of Divorce is your plan for building a lifelong, thriving marriage!
