Before Love Can Heal: When Loving Feels One-Sided (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998862410)

Before Love Can Heal: When Loving Feels One-Sided
You didn't expect love to feel this lonely.

You try to stay kind. You keep praying. You've read the books, followed the advice, and tried to hold it all together. But the distance keeps growing. The conversations are strained-or silent. And in the quiet, painful moments of honesty, you wonder if anything will ever change. If you've found yourself exhausted by a one-sided marriage and unsure whether healing is still possible, this book is for you.

Written with compassion and rooted in biblical clarity, Before Love Can Heal offers a path forward-not by demanding more from your spouse, but by helping you rediscover your own clarity, integrity, and strength. Christian counselor Dr. Chuck Carrington introduces the Power Convictions: four heart-level shifts that reshape how you see your marriage, your role, and your God-given capacity to love without losing yourself.

This is not a book about fixing your spouse. It's a book about healing your soul. Through real-life insights, redemptive truths, and practical application, you'll learn to:

• Confront false beliefs that quietly sabotage intimacy

• Own your side of the street-without carrying everything

• Challenge assumptions that cloud how you see your spouse

• Let go of bitterness without giving up healthy boundaries

• Love faithfully even when it feels undeserved

Dr. Carrington understands the pain of imbalance in marriage. But he also knows the surprising strength that emerges when we stop trying to control outcomes and start becoming the person God is calling us to be-humble, wise, and emotionally anchored in truth.

Whether your spouse joins the journey or not, healing can still begin with you. Not because you're to blame-but because you're not powerless.

You are not alone. Your love is not wasted. And your hope is not in vain.

Before love can heal... conviction must lead.
