There are very few books that address mental illness within marriage or committed love relationships. There are even fewer that address it through a religious or spiritual lens. Sarah Griffith Lund uses her personal experience and stories from other couples, together with spiritual resources and practical, up-to-date psychology, to give readers tools for understanding how mental illnesses affect couples throughout the lifespan of the relationship and the illness.The practical tools and journal/discussion prompts make it an important resource for couples living with mental illness.

Stylistically, I found some of the writing stilted or awkward. It's possible the e-book format intensified that, and the usefulness of the book is in no way diminished. The uniqueness of this book makes it a must-have for pastoral care providers, at least in Christian settings. I will keep a copy on my shelf for personal reference, and I'll recommend it widely.
