Anger can destroy your marriage, but forgiveness will restore it. Anger begins as frustration, hurt or fear. When you don't deal with these deeper emotions, they intensify and fester into resentment and rage- and the affectionate intimacy you long for in your relationship is driven away. Yet everyone experiences anger at one time or another...so how can you cope when it surfaces and strengthen the connection between you and your spouse?

Smalley suggests that you have three options when anger rears its head: you can stuff it, you can spew it, or you can study it. With Ted Cunningham, Smalley peels back anger's layers to expose the emotional core of fury and bitterness. They invite you to take an honest look at the pain that lies at the heart of anger and show you how sharing that pain leads to deep intimacy and a marriage that will go the distance.

Don't let anger undermine your most precious relationship. Instead, learn how you can build an unshakable foundation of love, trust and confidence when you forgive.
