It’s not difficult for a marriage to hit a rough patch. And sometimes that leads to a seriously hurting marriage. But for all marriages, in that rough patch or not, there is hope. My guest today is Daniel Berry, author of the book Hope for the Hurting Marriage. We discuss a wide range of marriage topics all leading to the conclusion that there is hope, very real hope. It’s an important conversation that I look forward to sharing with you. So let’s get started.
Daniel Berry is a dedicated follower of Jesus Christ, an honored husband and a grateful father. A former journalist, he has written professionally for nearly 20 years. Daniel struggled with alcoholism and other addictions for more than a decade before he started to make progress and experience healing. God restored his broken marriage and changed him from someone who frustrates others to someone who encourages instead.
Daniel has published multiple books to date: HOPE for the Hurting Marriage, Devotions for Dark Days, Devotions for Darker Nights, Diary of a Christian Addict, and 50 Lies of the Enemy (and How to Silence Them).
