Christian ministry can be wearying to the soul—and challenging to a marriage. But it’s never too late to build up resilience and make repairs.

This book invites honest dialogue and self‑assessment through seven paced sessions for ministry couples to work through together. Guided by pastor and counselor Justin Smith, you’ll confront your unique ministry and marital challenges, identify ways to make both more sustainable, and cultivate a deeper, stronger relationship with your spouse.

“Every married couple serving in Christian ministry needs encouragement, sometimes daily. Justin’s book comforts the heart, strengthens resolve, and restores the joy of serving God. The biblical admonition combined with instructive stories of real ministry marriages will lift the hands that have fallen for many couples in God’s service. I highly recommend it!”
