(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, stepfamily 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 was released on her 30th wedding anniversary in 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 21 other couples whose marriages were, at one point, seemingly beyond hope. All of these couples are telling their own difficult stories in order to send the message to 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 Communication 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.
