Our words and lives matter.

I thought it would be years from now before I wrote a book, yet here I am.

Publishing this first book has been a wild ride.

From writing on a topic I was afraid to talk about to this incredible journey of meeting people on the other side of a book, though I may never meet them in person.

As I wrote, I imagined sitting down with women (and some men) I’ve spoken with over the years. I imagined sitting down with the woman I was. I asked myself what I needed in that season.

What did I want to know? What questions did I have?

What book was I looking for, but never found?

I took all of that and wrote for the one reading.

If you’re questioning what to do in your marriage, this book is for you.

If your friends are questioning what to do in their marriage, this book is for them.

An interactive guide to help you decide if divorce is a healthy choice for you.

It's okay to get unmarried, though it's not the happy ending we all dream of. Blueprints for Divorce will guide you on a journey of figuring out if divorce is a healthy choice for you. This book will help you recognize unhealthy relationship behaviors, understand divorce in light of Christianity and the Bible, and build yourself up while walking through something challenging and heart wrenching. Reframe how you see divorce to look through a lens of love, sacrifice, and redemption. Words we don’t typically associate with divorce, yet words which give light and life—the very light and life divorce may bring you.

Rachael fought for her marriage right up to the day she filed for divorce. She faced the challenges of considering divorce, especially how it fit with her beliefs, along with the heartbreak that came with it.

  • “Blueprints for Divorce is a calming, reassuring read for any Christian in a difficult marriage. It answers both theological and practical questions about evaluating the health of a relationship and deciding what to do next.”

    Becky C-M.

  • “Divorce is really not an easy subject to approach. However, Rachael has come at it from a fresh angle that had me smiling, tearing up, and digging deep.”

    Pamela Joy C.

  • “I read a crap ton of marriage self-help books during my save-the-marriage-years, and NONE of them REALLY covered what Rachael talks about, not like this. I’m still processing some of the internal healing it brought up even after all these years.”

    Sara H.

  • "Reading this has put some perspective on my parents' divorces and how to come alongside friends or family as they go through it."

    Erin H.

  • “This is not just another relationship book, it’s a therapy session small enough to fit in your purse, & affordable enough to buy for your friends”

    Sara H.

  • “Rachael Needham gives hope and encouragement to those who are considering, going through, or have gone through divorce in her new book, Blueprints for Divorce. She shows us God is in control and that the love He has for us and our well-being is bigger than enduring an unhealthy marriage.”

    Donna R.
