About this listen

Love is messy. Add ADHD to the mix? Welcome to the emotional rollercoaster you didn’t know came with a seatbelt.

Love, War, and ADHD is the real-talk survival guide for couples navigating the wild, frustrating, and sometimes hilarious journey of marriage when one partner has ADHD. Whether you're the one with ADHD or the one holding the emotional duct tape, this audiobook will make you feel seen—and give you tools that actually work.

Inside, you’ll uncover:

Why ADHD isn’t just a “focus issue”—and how it shows up in your love life, communication, and daily chaos

The common landmines (think: missed dates, forgotten chores, impulsive fights) and how to avoid stepping on them

Faith-based encouragement for staying grounded when your relationship feels like it’s spinning

Strategies for rebuilding trust, intimacy, and teamwork—without sounding like a nag or a therapist

How to stop “parenting” your spouse and start partnering again

Honest stories, hard-earned lessons, and a whole lot of grace

Written by someone who’s lived it, this book isn’t sugarcoated or clinical. It’s for real couples who love each other but are exhausted from trying to make things work in a neurotypical world.

Whether you’re on the brink or just want to strengthen your bond, Love, War, and ADHD is your audio lifeline. Play it together. Pause when it hits home. Laugh when it hurts. Grow side by side.

Because even when ADHD drives your marriage wild—love is still worth the fight.

Listening to this felt like someone finally put my relationship on speakerphone. As the partner without ADHD, I’ve often felt more like a manager than a spouse this audiobook helped me realize I’m not alone in that. The stories are raw, real, and often uncomfortably familiar (in a good way). It didn’t offer perfection, but it offered perspective, and that made a huge difference. We actually listened to it together, and for once, we were on the same page.

I honestly didn’t think an audiobook could make us feel seen like this. My partner has ADHD, and I’ve been stuck in this weird loop of trying to help without turning into their second mom.

If your relationship feels like it’s barely holding this really helped us reset.
