Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
I Want to Stay Married, But How?
Kathy Schoenborn · 2011
64/100
👎 Skip It
Schoenborn combines clinical credentials with personal survival of a painful marriage, which gives her approach more authority than most books in this lane, and Tyndale House provides a quality floor. The narrow audience (Christian women in troubled marriages), limited independent reviews, and reliance on personal narrative over evidence-based frameworks keep the score from climbing higher. Within its niche it may be genuinely useful, but it is hard to recommend broadly on the available evidence.
