Can My Marriage Be Saved?: True Stories Of Saved Marriages

Street Release Date: April 01, 2008

The divorce rate in America for a first marriage is 41 percent, 60 percent for a second marriage and 73 percent for a third marriage, according to enrichment journal. There are many reasons for problems in a marriage, including financial problems, affairs, sexual addiction, step family stress and unfulfilled expectations. Mae Chambers has lived through most of them and stresses that there are ways to overcome these seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

“Marriage reconciliation is not only possible, but is the most desired solution,” says Chambers, whose book Can My Marriage Be Saved?: 25 True Stories of Saved Marriages releases March 2008. This is the first book in a three-part series on divorce and troubled marriages, designed to bring a sense of hope in a time where divorce is the “norm”.

Chambers’ book, co-written with her daughter Erika Chambers, tells not only the story of her own troubled marriage but the stories of several other couples whose marriages were, at one point, seemingly beyond hope. All of these couples are telling their own difficult stories in order to show America that, with a little work, the divorce rates can take a downturn.

“My husband and I have a marriage that was miraculously brought back from the brink of divorce,” explains Chambers. “For 20 years, I’ve witnessed the impact of telling our “saved marriage” story to the troubled couples who’ve crossed our path. I began to imagine the tremendous impact that a book full of true “saved marriage” stories could have on thousands of people in crisis marriages.”

Chambers 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.
