Christian

Jacob Ebenezer decides to take a shortcut to the divorce lawyer's office. Driving through a snowstorm on Christmas Eve, he and Marlee, his wife for just a few more minutes, collide with a semi on County Line Road. When Marlee awakes, Jacob is gone. She gets out of the car to search for him. Plowing through the snow, she sees a light in a distant farmhouse and heads that direction.

A kind old man welcomes Marlee into his home and warms her by the fire with a blanket and a cup of hot tea. He tells Marlee this house has received many couples through the years seeking restoration or answers for their marriage. He helps Marlee to visualize her past with Jacob, see her present situation and understand that there are infinite possibilities for her future. Jacob and Marlee had grown apart over their 20-year marriage. He was consumed with his work, while Marlee concentrated on raising their three children. Is there any hope of saving their marriage, or did their love die in the process?

When Marlee awakes in the hospital, she is confused about what has happened. Her time at the farmhouse seems so real, yet she is told she has been at the hospital since she was rescued from their wrecked car. Is this the jolt her marriage needs to begin repairing it?

This short inspirational book is delightfully written to encourage those who are struggling in their marriages to never give up hope.

SUMMARY

Jake and Marlee, a typical couple, are about to call it quits. Over time they have drifted apart; the sparks are dead. Marlee is convinced she married the wrong man and Jake feels tied down to the wrong woman. Jake is distant and tired of being controlled while Marlee is tired of being the only one trying to the save their marriage. They go to bed Christmas Eve, in separate rooms, each rationalizing...life is too short to be miserable...love shouldn't hurt like this...their marriage must end for happiness to return. But their lives are about to take a turn. The ghosts of Marriage Past, Marriage Present, and Marriage Future reveal to Jake and Marlee how past choices, present realities, and their potential future might look if they do not change their "stories". Jake and Marlee experience a Christmas gift that will radically change their thinking and cause them to look at marriage not for what they can get out of it but for what God can do in and through their marriage.
