Meet Charlie Collins
Charlie Collins, a first time author, has worked in the financial services industry for over 35 years, helping clients reach their life goals. Before that, he spent a dozen years in management and pastoring churches in South Carolina and Arkansas. Currently, he coaches a few couples who have entered into lives of ministry focus, and lends his experience to ministry organizations in their support ministries, as he and Kathy spend their "retirement" years in the same manner. Kathy is an accomplished musician and a growing artist. They primarily focus their attention on supporting leaders through various organizations and services, and being available for support of his business partners, part time. They have two sons, John and Josh, who is married to Suzanne, and two grandchildren, Linus and Norman.
In his book Happily Ever After?, author and former pastor Charlie Collins offers a fresh perspective on marital strife and gives readers a roadmap for returning to intimacy amid brokenness and desperation.
It can be overwhelming when resentment and anger begin to take hold in a marriage. Though we are prone to self-destructive behaviors, there is still hope, and Happily Ever After? draws the reader toward God’s love, the cord that thrums beneath all relationships in our lives. Drawing from the ashes and rebirth of his own marriage, Charlie Collins unveils the paradoxical and biblical path to the intimacy that all couples long for. Each chapter features discussion questions to help identify and confront the feelings and flaws impacting the reader’s relationship.
Happily Ever After? explores the roots of love, demonstrates how to separate shame from guilt and choose honesty over delusion, offers a new definition of beauty, reframes the idea of “failure” in marriage, and helps the reader feel known and understood by someone who’s experienced marital hardship.
