About this book

Discarding popular Christian advice to use romance and sweetness to draw a wandering spouse back into a marriage, Dr. David Clarke lays out a tough-love action plan for abused and betrayed spouses to rebuild their marriages through proven steps that will restore self-confidence one step at a time. "I don't love you anymore." These simple words have the power to send the listener into shock, denial, and desperation. The obvious response is to ask oneself, "What can I do to win my partner back?" In this classic book, Christian psychologist Dr. David Clarke provides just the battle plan needed. Contrary to what many relationship "experts" recommend—weak, passive plans that involve begging or romancing a spouse back—Clarke offers an approach that he calls guerilla love, which essentially turns the tables on the wandering spouse. Drawing healthy boundaries and restoring your self-esteem Five things your spouse really means when saying, "I don't love you anymore" The most popular "exit lies" and how to see through them Classic symptoms of a person who is having an affair Learning when it’s time to walk away This book will remind you that you are worthy of love, that you are not a doormat, and that you are a prize. Dr. Clarke will empower and equip you to make the best and most God-honoring attempt at saving your marriage.

David Clarke's "What to Do When He Says, I Don’t Love You Anymore" is a comprehensive self-help guide specifically for women navigating the devastating experience of a partner's declaration of lost love. The book provides a structured, step-by-step approach to coping with the initial shock and pain, understanding the dynamics at play, and making informed decisions about the future of the relationship or one's personal healing. Rooted in a Christian perspective, it blends psychological insights with spiritual guidance, empowering readers to reclaim their self-worth, set healthy boundaries, and ultimately move towards healing and a stronger sense of self, regardless of the relationship's outcome.

“Your worth is not determined by whether someone loves you, but by who you are in God's eyes.”

Key themes

Healing and Emotional Resilience

Faith and Spiritual Guidance
Central to Clarke's approach, this theme emphasizes relying on God for strength, wisdom, and comfort during times of extreme emotional distress. It integrates prayer, scripture, and spiritual principles into the healing process.
