LONGWOOD, FL--The "Monday" of everyday life inevitably comes after a restful Sunday--52 times a year. Just as the idyllic moves into the mundane, so too does a couple quickly move from the honeymoon phase to the "work" phase of a marital relationship. Small or large, every marriage has its rough spots. Xulon Press author Marianne J. de Deugd's Fifty-Two Mondays: Dealing with the Rough Spots in Your Marriage...God's Way ($14.99, paperback, 978-1-60647-938-4; $24.99, hardcover, 978-1-60647-939-1) acknowledges that married life can begin to divide what God has jointed together. In this age of irreconcilable differences and no-fault divorce, couples are trading marriage for separation at a staggering rate. Regrettably, Christian couples are no different. Fortunately, this book will allow readers to enjoy the kind of marriage God intended with their mate, even on the "Mondays," because God has not left us in the dark. Instead, He has provided us with the perfect guide to marital success in the Bible.

Says de Deugd, "I have not found a marriage book that deals with the problems that the individual partners bring into the relationship. You can learn how to communicate better and do all the steps that make for a good relationship, but if you don't deal with the individuals, you will be back to square one in no time. This book is both practical and biblical. God is a God of the how-to, not just telling us the principles."

A full-time Christian counselor for more than 20 years, de Deugd draws extensively from the experience gained during 34 years of marriage to her husband, Bill. The couple has four children, and they have successfully navigated more than 1,700 Mondays.
