Becoming One as Husband and Wife: A Self-help Novel

Becoming One as Husband and Wife is the story of three couples at different stages of life, yearning to find harmony and unity in their broken marriages. Each of the couples find themselves dealing with struggles that are beyond their ability to solve on their own.

One young couple is trying to cope with addictions and infidelity. Another is struggling with the daily task of working long hours while raising kids but all of it leading to a marital disconnect. The third couple, who are doing their best as empty nesters, are fighting against a war-torn memory and a daughter who is struggling in her own abusive relationship. With the help of a humble yet troubled psychologist, they each learn new skills that lead to each other and to Christ, but for some, the pain may be too much to overcome.

After many years of serving his clients, Dr. Russ Rasmussen wanted to convey his biblically rooted advice in a way that would not only be enjoyed but also be implemented and practiced daily. After tossing around a few ideas with author, Bible study teacher, and friend, Jeff Sievertson, Dr. Russ decided the best way to bring his professional advice to life was through this heartwarming tale.
