Couple Shares How Renovating a Foreclosed House Helped Them
Renovate Their Marriage
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 19,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Much like the foundation
of a house, the foundation of a marriage needs to be strong and
reliable. Burgess Mitchell and Dr. Lindsay
Evans-Mitchell have experienced what can happen when that
foundation starts to crumble. Together they have released "The
Broken House: A Story of Home Renovation, Remodeling, and
Restoration," sharing how they utilized rebuilding a dilapidated
house in foreclosure to help simultaneously rebuild their marriage
from the ground up after infidelity and divorce.
Nicknamed the "Chip and Joanna of marital counseling," Mitchell
and Evans-Mitchell explore what it's like to have the tools to
build a stable structure, but all that still develops is a broken
house. Instead of using hammers, drills, screws, and nails, the
couple had to learn to use techniques that tear down walls and
expose the true condition of a damaged relationship.
"The process of renovation can happen both physically and
emotionally," Evans-Mitchell said. "Renovation is a stressful and
painful process, making something new out of something that was
tremendously damaged, especially when people are the ones receiving
the extreme makeover."
The authors share their personal experiences of coping with
trauma resulting from a failed marriage and how they've applied
their expertise in psychiatry and counseling to treat thousands of
patients, helping them restore their families. Each chapter of "The
Broken House" features journaling, prayer, or discussion exercises
to help readers apply their lessons at home.
"You can overcome the impossible when you accept the power of
grace and faith, and use it to unite you in your relationship,"
Mitchell said. "All marriages can go through challenging times, but
with forgiveness, communication, and commitment you can create a
happier and healthier relationship."
The authors want to reach readers who have struggled with giving
forgiveness and to encourage them to have hope, using their own
emotional experience as an example of how anything broken and
damaged can be made brand new.
