When Marriage Meets Reality by Tammy L. Smith, Ph.D.

When Marriage Meets Reality unpacks harmful beliefs about marriage, inviting you to release unrealistic expectations and fall in love with the marriage you have. Have you found yourself asking “What is the missing link between what I thought marriage would be like and what it actually is? Are you trying to do the “Christian marriage” and it’s not working? You’re not alone. Marriage is beautiful, but inevitably hard. It is the coming together of two broken people, to create an imperfect harmony.  When Marriage Meets Reality, written by Dr. Tammy Smith, serves as a toolkit to help you fall back in love with your marriage. Contrary to what you might believe, the road to a better marriage is not found in turning your spouse’s heart toward your own hopes, dreams, and desires. Rather, the road to a better marriage is about turning your heart more toward Jesus. This journey will be a path of beauty from ashes, maturity through suffering, perseverance through trials, and life from death. Thank
