When grief, hidden pain, and addiction collide, even strong marriages can crack. Ron and Nan Deal share their searing journey through loss, an alcoholic spouse, and buried marriage secrets that nearly destroyed them. From Nan’s yoga-mat surrender to God’s radical grace, they reveal how confession, trust-building, and God’s mercy restored hope, intimacy, and passion after decades of struggle. Courage, honesty, and faith show the path to true redemption.
