Meet the characters that live, work, dream, and love in the community of
Deepwater Cove. Best-selling authors Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer
team up to show how four married couples, all in different stages in
life, experience the joys and hardships of marriage as examined in Gary
Chapman's
The Four Seasons of Marriage. In book one, Steve and
Brenda face a common problem among
middle-age couples: empty nest
syndrome. Steve works too much, and with their two children out of the
house, Brenda feels lonely and unfulfilled. In order to save their
marriage, the two must learn to reconnect. Readers are also introduced
to many charming characters, like Cody, the mentally challenged homeless
man that shows up on Steve and Brenda's porch; Pete, who owns the Rods
‘N' Ends tackle shop; and Patsy Pringle, who owns the Just As I Am
beauty parlor, where much of the action takes place.
The series is based on the marriage principles found in Gary Chapman's non-fiction book
The Four Seasons of Marriage. Similar in tone and light-hearted, quirky humor as Jan Karon's Mitford series, Fannie Flagg's books or
Steel Magnolias.
Each book has a study guide that talks about the four seasons of
marriage and the healing strategies depicted in that volume's story.
