What Your Audience Needs to Know to Save Their Marriages

WHO: Mae and Erika Chambers, mother and daughter and co-authors of Can My Marriage Be Saved?: True Stories of Saved Marriages, tell the stories of 22 couples whose marriages were, at one point, seemly beyond hope.

WHAT: A marriage can go wrong for a myriad of reasons, but even the most damaged marriage can often be restored. Even in the midst of severe problems such as infidelity, financial instability, sexual problems and unfulfilled expectations, the couples in this book show how a marriage can recover.

“I have long been fascinated by the power of a true story. My husband and I have a marriage that was miraculously brought back from the brink of divorce,” explains Mae. “In the years since our reconciliation, we have openly and honestly shared our painful story countless times. In doing so, we have seen dozens of couples in troubled marriages come to healing as they found hope (and some life lessons) in our personal story and applied the principles to their own relationships.”

WHEN: Mae and Erika are available by arrangement.

Mae can discuss:
• How her own marriage survived infidelity, addiction and communication breakdown
• How divorce affects children and other family members
• Alternatives to divorce
• The inspirational stories of the other couples featured in the book
Erika can discuss:
• Being the child of a saved marriage- the negative impact of watching her parents struggle, and the positive impact of their healing
• Why her generation (20-30 year olds) is resistant to the idea of marriage
• The life lessons she has learned from working with the remarkable couples in this book

Mae Chambers and her husband have been mentoring pre-marital and troubled marriages for the past 20 years. She received her bachelor’s degree in education and her minor in learning disabilities/behavior disorders from Miami University in Ohio. She has owned several small businesses including The Infant Tree, a child care referral business, The Coupon Coalition, PlastiCard Plus and Pass It On Publications.

Erika Chambers, the daughter of Mae’s saved marriage, received her bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies from Middle Tennessee State University. She is currently the Editor-in-Chief for Pass It On Publications, and is pursuing her passion as a songwriter and artist in Nashville.

Mother, Daughter Team Up to Save Marriages

Mother, Daughter Team Up to Save Marriages

Ever since their seemingly hopeless marriage was reconciled in 1985, Mae and John Chambers have shared their story countless times, in an effort to encourage other couples in marital crisis. For several years, Mae had dreamed of writing a book full of “saved marriage” stories like her own. But she never expected her 26-year old daughter, Erika, to set aside her own pursuits to help her mother’s dream come true.

“She was fully dedicated to pursuing her music career,” Mae says of her daughter. “I was completely shocked when she came to me and said, ‘Mom, this book is important. Please let me help.’ I was so touched that my daughter shared my passion.”

“I am the child of a saved marriage,” says Erika. “It means the world to me that my parents chose to stick it out and worked so hard to get healthy. That is so rare.”

Mae and Erika quickly began the year-long process of researching marriage organizations, identifying couples with saved marriage stories, conducting interviews, writing, and working closely with editors and designers. Together, they founded Pass It On Publications, and secured national distribution for their book, Can My Marriage be Saved? True stories of Saved Marriages, which recently hit bookstore shelves.

“There’s not another book like it,” says Mae. “It doesn’t attempt to preach, teach or give quick fixes. It simply allows the reader to walk alongside these couples who faced enormous marital obstacles, and made it out alive.”

“We are already beginning to hear from couples whose lives have been impacted by this book,” says Erika. “And it’s exciting to be on this journey with my mom. We’ve always been best friends, but now we’re co-authors and business partners as well. And even after spending so much time together, I’m happy to report— we’re still best friends.”

Can My Marriage be Saved? True Stories of Saved Marriages (Pass It On Publications) is in stores now. Visit www.savedmarriagenetwork.com for more info.
