When Lingerie Is Not Enough deals with life after a spouse has made a decision to leave the marriage giving his or her spouse no choice in the matter. It gives the author’s life story along with encouragement and practical tips on how to deal with the hurt and pain of a marriage that ends in divorce including how to forgive and move forward. While it is specific to the author’s life, where a spouse and father is homosexual and how to deal with that issues, it also applies to many circumstances that end a marriage. When Lingerie Is Not Enough also addresses the issue of children who have been affected by divorce and specifically how to help them through the painful process of rejection and abandonment when a parent leaves the family unit. Well meaning Christians will say, “Divorce is a sin; you should fight for your marriage.” “Just fix yourself up and wear some sexy lingerie; that will solve your marital problems.” These are the things that are taught in church but sometimes there are issues that go deeper than just applying some perfume and buying some new lingerie. There are some issues that cannot be resolved in a marriage, especially when one of the spouses walks away, refuses to participate in the marriage and brings a destructive element into the household. When this happens the spouse left behind wrestles with guilt, abandonment and rejection. This book addresses these emotions and provides encouragement to the spouses left behind.
