Introduction
Even after we've promised lifelong love, many of us have thought of ending things after a fight, or even just a repeated annoyance. Surely anything is better than more of this?
But divorce won't necessarily fix the core issues that led you to this situation, and can lead to far worse outcomes overall.
Counsellor, radio host, pastor and author Gary Chapman has written several best-selling books of relationship advice while helping countless couples heal their relationships.
Here, the author of The Five Love Languages series tackles the big question: should I stay or should I go?
Chapman outlines the 'four myths' that tend to prevent relationship progress, and demonstrates how to reject each one.
The book describes relatable problems Chapman has encountered over his life spent helping others, and even in the early years of his own marriage.

Through it all, Chapman both acknowledges the pain of a dysfunctional relationship and provides hope that it can be fixed .
