Is your marriage no longer magical, but just plain miserable? Does it feel like you’re trapped with no way of fixing things, to the point where you’re fantasizing about divorce, or worse? Alisa Bowman returns to the show to discuss her upcoming book, Project: Happily Ever After – Saving Your Marriage When the Fairytale Falters, a personal account of her marriage at its worst and how she and her husband managed to put the pieces back together.
Alisa keeps up a blog at ProjectHappilyEverAfter.com, and has been featured on news shows and in publications across the country. Her book, which comes out December 28, can be preordered from Amazon.com, and will be available after its release at all major booksellers.
