The BookViral Review:

In The Shadows of The Altar A Wife’s Journey Through Marriage and Solitude offers readers both insight and a template for rekindling intimacy.

Corriolan recognises that ‘emotional skillfulness’, specifically the ability to identify and communicate emotions, plays a crucial role in marital adjustment through its effects on the intimacy process.

Candidly sharing her experiences Corriolan reminds us that a lack of emotional intimacy in a marriage invariably leads us to feel distant from our spouse. She knows that many of us don’t feel comfortable expressing our feelings when we feel vulnerable and the lack of emotional connection can put a strain on a marriage.

In sharing her own experiences, with her husband Francois, Corriolan encourages her readers to identify these needs and shows how we can become more proficient in meeting them. Reminding us that no matter how emotionally disconnected we might feel in a marriage, the good news is that we can rebuild that lost connection.

Readers with a hunger for quick fixes have given many self-appointed gurus on the subject of marriage the opportunity to make millions from their books but don’t confuse these with Corriolan’s book. Through personal stories and milestones from her own transformational journey readers will know from her opening pages that they’re in the hands of a passionate and candid writer whose words get to the heart of what it takes to cultivate marital change on a meaningful and lasting level.

A poignant read for all women, and particularly to those who might be navigating the stormy seas of a troubled relationship In The Shadows of The Altar A Wife’s Journey Through Marriage and Solitude is strongly recommended.
