Navigating Marital Abandonment

By Beth Durkee

Book Overview

When a Christian husband suddenly announces he wants out-when he withdraws, disconnects, or walks away without warning-the wife left behind enters a kind of emotional freefall. Navigating Marital Abandonment is a powerful, faith-anchored guide for every woman facing the shock of marital abandonment, emotional detachment, midlife-crisis behavior, or a husband's affair.

Drawing from real experience, biblical truth, and the spiritual realities hidden beneath relational breakdown, this book helps readers understand what's actually happening-emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually-when a spouse withdraws or betrays the marriage covenant. With clarity and compassion, it equips women to stand strong in the midst of infidelity, gaslighting, rejection, and the crushing grief of becoming the abandoned spouse.

Inside, readers will discover:

Why marital abandonment is more than a "relationship problem"-it's a spiritual battle
How to recognize the warning signs of emotional withdrawal and midlife-crisis deception
What Scripture reveals about marriage, covenant, betrayal, and divine protection
How to maintain peace, dignity, and faith when a husband chooses separation, divorce, or another woman
What God promises to women who feel invisible, discarded, or betrayed
Practical steps for emotional stability, boundary-setting, and hearing God clearly during crisis

With its blend of gentle wisdom and powerful biblical insight, Navigating Marital Abandonment speaks directly to Christian wives experiencing heartbreak, confusion, and spiritual attack. It offers hope for the wounded, clarity for the blindsided, and strength for anyone walking through infidelity recovery, marriage crisis, or the devastation of being left by a spouse.

For readers seeking a Christian perspective on healing after adultery, saving a marriage, or finding God's guidance during abandonment, this book delivers what so many desperately need: truth, comfort, and the assurance that God never abandons His daughters-even when their husbands do.
