And the prince and the princess married and lived happily-ever-after.

Only in fairytales, right?

 In a world of high divorce rates and where marriages are under pressure from every angle, happily-ever-after seems more like a fairytale than ever before. We smile sarcastically at the notion. We have experience. We know better. "Wake up and live in the real world" we grimly tell those who are starstruck with love. Unfortunately, there is some truth in our pessimistic outlook. Marriage can be rough. A multitude of things can go wrong. So is there nothing but gloom and doom?

How about happily-even-after?

Enter the Barn Church Series. A trilogy of Christian novels that take a hard look at the realities of marriage. True-to-life stories of couples who face the hard times. Husbands and wives who reach out and dare to find happily-even-after. These novels allow us to look into their eyes and see ourselves. We reflect and begin to hope that we can find happiness as well.

These novels look reality in the face.

This trilogy takes on a variety of tough issues. Emotional baggage, insecurity, body image, verbal abuse, differing personalities, financial difficulties, and the list goes on. These books are not indiscreet, yet they approach even sensitive issues with a frank openness. Because of this, we only recommend these titles to married and engaged couples.

To be fair, not all endings are as happy as these...

Disclaimer/spoiler alert: Each of these books features a couple where both partners are willing to put in the hard work to make the marriage successful. (At least by the end of the story.) This isn't always the case in real life. 

Read these stories and discover hope.

Wounds can be healed. Happiness can be found. It truly is God's will that a man and woman should find lasting love and happiness. As you read these stories, you will be encouraged to allow God to write your story. Whatever happens, God still has a plan for you. A plan that includes a path to happiness and peace.
