When a marriage is gasping for breath, "emergency" relationship help is needed. Couples are in the throes of high emotion and confusion, and often don't have what it takes to survive the next agonizing wave of emotion or uncertainty. Often, one or both partners already have a foot out the door. In some cases, this marriage emergency has happened suddenly. In other cases, couples have been treading water for years, languishing in an unhappy marriage and quietly reaching their breaking point. Marriage SOS throws "lifelines" to these drowning relationships by giving them easy and effective marriage-saving strategies so that they can find their way back to shore. It also provides "crisis care" so that couples can survive such ills as affairs or inappropriate opposite-sex friendships, an inability to budget, sex and intimacy issues, divided loyalties (i.e. ex-partners, in-laws), problems with blended families and step-children, and dealing with a belligerent, critical or defensive spouse. In Marriage SOS, leading marriage author-expert Debra Macleod, B.A., LL.B., has gathered her unique brand of practical, pull-no-punches, fast-acting marriage advice into book format. She has condensed the most effective strategies from her years of experience in successful private practice. These are strategies that have managed to help thousands of real-world couples make sometimes overnight improvements to their marriage. Importantly, Marriage SOS is a rare marriage guide that speaks with a candor that appeals to men as well as women. Part "emergency" marriage manual and part wake-up call to couples, Debra has created a month-long relationship saver that each day gives spouses a new and effective lifeline strategy that can rescue their relationship in thirty days. It also offers "crisis care" that helps spouses survive those acute or chronic problems that can drain the life out of a marriage. This remarkably pragmatic, effective and user-friendly book should be essential reading for all couples. Praise for Debra Macleod from LIBRARY JOURNAL: "Most people spend the largest part of adulthood slogging through committed relationships, and they need books like this."

Marriage SOS: Oilpatch Edition is the first marriage-saving guidebook created specifically for the relationship challenges seen in “oilpatch marriages” and families.

It will also be relevant to any couple who needs to make an “extended time apart” marriage work, from executives to long-haul truck drivers.

Best of all, she helps partners use their step situation to actually strengthen their relationship instead of letting it chip away at it. Marriage SOS: Blended Family Edition targets and tackles the biggest challenges that partners, bio and step-parents face, from a loss of intimacy in their relationship and frustration over child support payments to dealing with a troublesome ex-spouse or finding the patience to understand and connect with a step-child - and everything in between.

Marriage SOS: Blended Family Edition is suitable for partners who are married, cohabiting or dating.

The book for every married woman that wants the abundant sex life with her husband that God desires for her. SOS is a book that exposes lies about our sexual intimacy. It helps the reader address their unique issues with intimacy because it allows them to address their personal story from their introduction to sex. We have all forged an opinion about sexual intimacy based on our private experience. Our sexual journey is just as unique as each woman. No two women will ever have the same life experience so this book offers each reader clarity of their unique path through their own "jourvotional ". This is a journal and devotional at the end of every chapter with questions to draw out the reader as she writes down her own path of how her views on intimacy have formed. Filled with humor and reality, SOS gives the reader the opportunity to laugh, cry, pray and declare with dogged determination not to settle for mediocrity in her intimacy. Filled with a fresh perspective with other women's stories, how we view our bodies and all the things that attack our intimacy, SOS will keep the reader intrigued. This book will be used for personal encouragement in the area of sexual intimacy but it will also soon become a sought after Bible study for women in small groups. SOS will get women in the Christian community talking about sex with such expectation and hope that God's design of intimacy will become the new hot topic.
