Hope for your marriage...
Mother and daughter, Mae and Erika Chambers team up to offer readers a real look at 22 marriages that were in trouble. Each spouse speaks, sharing from his or her perspective. In each true story, the couple turns to God in prayer. They ask forgiveness, they search their heart, and allow God to intervene. All marriages hit rough spots. Many people marry with no thought of the commitment they are making. Mae and Erika bring hope, encouragement, and possibilities to couples. Marriages can be saved! This is a great book.

An absolute must for all couples, even those not married yet!
This books is a real tool for marriages. Broken marriages with one partner wanting to reconcile, bad marriages, good marriages, marriages in the making, all can get real help and insight into marriage. In a day when many marriage counselors and pastors counsel people to give up if the other partner is not interested in reconciling the marriage, this book shows how that does not have to be the only answer. All the stories of marriages saved from the brink of disaster give hope and to the average married person they give insight in how to make their marriage better. My children have also read this book and the one who is getting married this year said he really learned from reading it. Unlike many books on marriage, this one actually shows you how to get help they way many of these people in the stories did. All you will need is internet, or telephone to contact these marriage ministries.

Great resource!
What a great resource for troubled marriages Can My Marriage be Saved?: True Stories of Saved Marriages. This isn't a sugar coated, platitude laden book - it's real stories, of real families, with real problems... then real solutions!! I liked that! No matter what your issue is, you can probably find a similar one in here - adultery, drug or alcohol abuse, financial issues, blended families, even the death of a child. What I liked best about the book is that after each story there is information about the marriage ministry that helped that family reconcile. There's contact information, name, address, phone number and website info, for each ministry. It's a resource I'll keep on my bookshelf for myself, as well as keep a copy or two handy for friends and family who find themselves in difficult marriages.

Hope For Splintering Marriages From Couples Who Have Been There
(NASHVILLE)— 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?: 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 24 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.
Erika Chambers, the daughter of Mae’s saved marriage, received her bachelor’s degree in Communications 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
'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.
