Testimony: Marriage Restoration - God's Way
by Anonymous
Two years ago I was devastated when my husband told me it was over, he didn't love me anymore and that he was going to divorce me. I pleaded with him for another chance to make it up to him but his heart was hardened and he wanted out.
I started to play the blame game and tried to justify his actions by focusing on what others had done to help destroy our one-flesh union. I blamed his sister, who is also our next door neighbor. I blamed his niece and nephew who also happen to be our other next door neighbors. I blamed his older children and their mother. But, I did not look at the source of our marriage problems which was ME.
I finally got to the point where I realized that he was serious about wanting me out of his life and I had to look within. I search the internet to find out ways to save my marriage and I found a great site that led me in a direction that I never thought of.
It turned me to GOD, the only one who could work a miracle in my life and in my marriage!
I repented of my sin and prayed and asked GOD to help me and He did. After my first short marriage restoration I forgot GOD. I again lost my husband's affections and I really had a chance to reflect on how GOD had turned my husband's heart back to me.
My husband and I had a two month separation period and I moved back home after much soul searching, prayer and supplication and being obedient to GOD. However, being a baby Christian, I did not hold fast to GOD and his never failing hand. I tried once more to do it on my own and failed miserably.
During that year I was once again faced with the threat of a divorce and I knew once again where I had to turn.
TO GOD.
I told my husband that if he wanted a divorce I would sign what ever papers he presented me with and I started my journey towards my spiritual growth. There was a lot that needed to be changed in me and I continued to find web sites and resources that guided me towards GOD.
Before I became a Christian GOD spoke to me. He said "W____, release P_____, relinquish your hold on him, let me work a miracle in him" I became a Christian a few months later, but I still did not release and relinquish. My spiritual growth was advancing in leaps and bounds but I still would not release and relinquish.
I prayed for the strength to Let GO and Let GOD, and I eventually was able to do so in December of 2007. I moved out and put my husband in GOD's hands. Since then, my husband has turned his heart back to me. We are still physically separated, but I know that GOD is working because I am going to pray and fast for my husband's salvation.
I know that GOD is going to continue to work on restoring my marriage and that He is working on the circumstances that seem so impossible to overcome, which include the other woman and the baby that she has just had. I am trusting GOD completely to WORK the miracle that He has promised me.
I am getting more and more intimate with the Lover of my soul, getting to know Him like I've never thought possible and trusting that His plans for my life are to prosper me and to give me a hope and a future.
I know that He is preparing me for the spiritual battle that is ahead and I am currently studying Ephesians 6 vs 10-18 so that I will be ready to STAND firm and watch Him continue to work on the marriage that he has already restored.
I praise God for His love and patience and mercy and grace and all the wonderful things He has done for me and for the MIRACLE that He is working in my husband.
I will have a greater testimony once my marriage is fully restored and I look forward to sharing the GLORY of God's mighty work in my life in the near future.

It's so hard to satnd still and wait.............
I want to take just a moment to thank each and everyone who took time to share their own victories. My husband told me very shortly after I moved to his city and home he had made a mistake and wanted out. I was so dumbfounded. I could not imagine a man whom had once shared the only statment that GOD and I shared "From GOD through Me to You" was turning away. I told GOD after my first marriage no MORE. He would have to send Jesus back down to get me to open up again they would have to be from GOD through them to me. As days and now years go by my heart still aches and I miss him just the same. I know GOD gives everyone freewill.....so I often felt strange attempting to speak GOD's promise over his own desires. I know GOD can work miracles and maybe oneday sooner than later I will follow this short message up with a testimony of how GOD worked to restore my relationship as well. Blessings to you all, GOD loves you and don't give up!! |

You R not alone
I am also going thru in my marriage.I"ve only been married since 2-14-07.My husband just walk out on me and our two chidren. He also with other women and doesnt have anything to do with me or his kids. But I praise God for keeping me in my right mind of course it hurts .I try to focus on what God's word say and believe because it is only for a season .I thank God for this website,because I want to tell u all dont give up on your marriage hold on to God's unchanging hand.Even though I feel lonely sometimes,my desire is for my husband only because I meant my vows and I am savesd, sanctifed and fill with the holyghost.God promised me that its not over and I'm trusting his word Romans4:21 And Being fully persuaded that,what he had promised,he was able also to perform. we all just have to keep praying for our spouses because God hears our crys and is turning it around for all of us. Just keep the faith ,remember love covers a multitude of sin. God has it all in control. Even though me and my husband is seperated for almost a year God has been taking care of me and my children I'm not working,going to school. |

re The younger brother - better known as the prodigal
Dear Anne-Marie, Regarding your question of Tony whether all prodigals have the Holy Spirit hassling them every day - our answer to date of all those that have behaved as the younger brother that we have been in touch with (including my husband), YES! A few years after restoration, my husband admitted to crying himself to sleep most nights - especially for our son. The Holy Spirit used so many methods - even used a warlock to pinpoint that he was still a believer, even though he was not walking the journey and trying to live a life to deny it. He also used people that he "met" that were born again - He made a ripped up torn page from a Bible blowing along a country road and finally he had a "Damacus Road" experience on a golf course! Hope and pray this is some encouragement to you. Yours in Christ Liz -for The Watenes www.twiceuponalifetime.com |

To add another story for His glory of restoration of marriage
Not sure how long or how old these comments are but just found and thought I'd add another story of encouragement that God is able and does restore marriages! Our story briefly is that after nearly five years marriage, ours fell apart too - my husband did the younger brother journey (better known as the prodigal son), whilst I did the older brother journey (not so well acknowledged). Our marriage was fully restored after separation and divorce of seven years - now having been remarried for nearly ten years, battles still occur, but He gets ALL the glory! Love and prayer and encouragement to all those standing in the gap for their spouses as we stand with you, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that whilst many might not stand by their covenants of marriage, God does! kindest regards The Watenes www.twiceuponalifetime.com |

MARRIAGE COVANANT
PRAISE GOD!. I Thank God for your understanding in the Name of Jesus, Amen. Blessings Ann Marie x |

Malachi 2:14
"The Lord has been witness between you and the wife of your youth." Malachi 2:14 Marriage is a covenant made under the jurisdiction of divine law. Men can make and break human covenants, but only God has authority over a divine covenant. We want God to join us in marriage, but we want man to separate us. When trouble comes...we call the lawyers. The major problem with that plan is that God does not recognize the actions of an earthly judge who acts in defiance of divine authority. When a judge bangs down his gavel and says, "divorce granted"; God does not nod in agreement. The Lord ignores the judge’s decree, leaving you...from God’s point of view...just as married as ever. This explains what Jesus meant when He said that if a man divorces his wife and marries another, he is committing adultery. On the basis of His Divine Law, God still sees the first marriage as valid. The divorce did not end the marriage, in God’s sight. The marriage covenant functions under God’s authority, not man’s. God said, Marriage is for Life. (1 Corinthians 7:39) God says, He doesn’t care what everyone else is doing. God says, He doesn’t care if man invented, no fault divorce. God says, you live by My Laws, not theirs.

God is Great
I committed to God to let him restore my marriage several months ago, I prayed for my marriage to be restored & to help my husband who is suffering from depression to see that he needs to count on God to heal him. I told God I was ready for drastic measures that He may need to take to get my husband to cry out to Him. When you do this you get what you ask for. Just this last Sunday with no warning, my husband said he was moving out & did so, with hardly saying a word to me, he was cold. I knew this was Satan & felt maybe God was allowing it to fix my husband & my marriage. During the time he was packing & moving his stuff, he said he never loved me, this I knew was not true, since 2 weeks before he said he did love me& even reiterated the words when I said you really do? Then right before he left on Sunday he said he did love me. I let him go- he was in God's hands. I have prayed more than ever & went to God with a clean heart- I’d been praying all along & released all anger toward husband so my heart was pure. Because of the Holy Spirit and all the I’ve done, I’ve been fine. I’ve not contacted my husband but he has me via email & phone & I just let him know I care & love him. Last night I let the devil get in my head which brought me to tears. I reached for the Word, I cried to the Lord to help comfort me, to talk to me. I asked for his voice to speak to me through the Bible & anything else. I’ve been praying that if its in His will to let my husband come home by Thanksgiving & also said I know that may not happen but I’d still stand. I looked in the Bible & funny, first thing I read had the word thanksgiving, but I figured that was just coincidence. So I read some things I wanted to read but nothing spoke to me & my prayer to God to talk to me. I closed the Word, shifted myself on the sofa & the Bible opened & I decided to read the pages opened. Psalms 26 & 27. I realized that Thanksgiving is 11/26, & I thought, God are you telling me this? Then I thought, it is ME not God. I read the chapter & guess what word was in it? Thanksgiving! I started feeling like crying, the I read CH 27 & it was about trusting & waiting on the Lord, I really felt that was speaking to me, and I was thankful to God. I then felt like praying so I went to turn the TV off, before I did I hit the previous channel, & some show was on & they were talking about a husband who had had an affair & even had a baby with the adultress & thought he loved her, but thanks to God, he came home to his wife and got on his knees to ask for forgiveness, she did & they are working with a Christian counselor to bring the marriage back, I started crying, realizing God was answering me, even more when they said that God can create miracles in broken marriages and that we should never give up, I hope my husband is back by Thanksgiving, but if not I won’t give up, I will know that that part of it was my own wishful thinking. I pray for all of you that are standing, NEVER GIVE UP! |

Reply to marriage annonymous
Your house and husband sound exactly like mine. However, after being pretty much ignored for about three years or so, I blew up in anger when the last straw was placed on the proverbial hay stack. I asked my husband to leave. Do not do this. You will ache for him. But, what you must do, is search the scripture for those passages that deal with marriage, the roles of hubands and wive and the attitudes that are commanded of God of one to the other, and you must OUT LOUD, BEGIN to pray them back to God as your petition, then you must decree these things into the atmosphere, again OUT LOUD, and you must take your roles and attitudes and declare that you are that person and then change your behavior motives and attitudes to match those of the word. Then waiting patiently and see the salvation of the Lord. I called upon the Lord and he heard my cry. Love - we will make it if we can take it and faint not! - rb |

uncool
Trying to use someone's belief in God as a way to control them and serve your best interest is seriously messed up. You probably don't even think of your exes in terms of their own name, just as "my husband" or "my wife". There is a reason slavery is ILLEGAL. |

Praise God !
I Thank God for your life, in Jesus Name, Amen. I Trust God and Believe His Written Word..... I am Born again, Spirit filled child of God, Amen. Genesis 1:27-30 God has given us Dominion. Matthew 17:19 Jesus told them... "because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say unto you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it WILL Move; and NOTHING will be impossible to you. So whatever mountains are in our lives, we know WE HAVE the Authority to move them, Amen. Look also at the example in Ezekiel 37 ... Prophesying into the dry area's of our lives, with the Word of God, Amen. I understand that Trials will come as the Word of God explains, it is to strengthen us in our faith in God, Amen. so when Trials come i Believe we Stand on the Written Word of God, Confessing it and Believing it in Faith. I Believe God WILL do ALL HE HAS PROMISED, Amen. I also understand that the Holy Spirit will give utterance unto us, that we may make known the mystery of the gospel. Praise God !.The word of God tells us NOT to pray like the heathen. Was there something in my prayer that lead you to believe that my prayer was without understanding?, or carnal?. I also would be interested to know what you ment by..." Dropped the ball". I will look into the site you recommended, thankyou. May i suggest SermonIndex.net for you to have a look at, there are plenty of free sermon downloads from men of God, such as... A.W.Tozer, Smith Wigglesworth, Charles Finney, Spurgeon, Kenneth E. Hagin, David Wilkerson,& Carter Conlon & many more. God Bless you, in the Name of Jesus, Amen. Blessings Ann Marie , |

in reply to
Did anyone ever consider by: Anonymous Maybe its because we grew up the Disney way. I don't know. So many people view God as a magic fairy that, if they believe in him, will grant their wishes. If life was supposed to be like that, then there would be no point to living it. While I must agree with you, on certain issues that are prayed for, overall I think you have dropped the ball, Christ himself told us to pray constantly, to ask God for help and need, if it was going to be like what you have suggested and would fall on deaf ears, then what would the point be? How many times in the Old testament did the Lord send enemies against his rebellious people in order to bring them to repentance, and then answer their cries for help, by defeating the enemy. All prayers submitted to God must come from the spirit and not from our Carnal understanding, because he does not hear them from our carnal conciousness, so first you must ask God to unveil your mind to the truth of righteousness, which will then lead you to your true identity which is the spirit, and from there your prayers will be heard, and you will most certainly be delivered. For a better understanding of what I have stated visit this site: http://www.thegodoflove.org/ |

Standing in hope and faith
Nine months ago my wife decided to leave our 28 year marriage and filed for divorce two weeks later. She is still living a life of sin and adultry was part of her leaving. It is and has been the most trying time in my life but God Through his Son Jesus is helping me. I have been standing for our marriage so please pray for Ricky and Sharleen. She knows the Lord but has turned away as I did. I have returned and she hasnt and wants to go to the bars and start over. It is hard to stand when the circumstances are so overwhelming but we serve a risen Savior. I need prayer as she does as it is getting so hard to stand as she is doing everything I had prayed she wouldnt. Lies and hurtful things. So I pray that Satan must leave my family alone in Jesus name. Please agree and Blessings Ricky |

Divorced, but believing
I have been divorce now for 2 months now. The pain is unbelieveable, even still, I am believing God for the restoration of my marriage. I have faith that God can and will turn this situation around. It's hard sometimes, especially when I look at the situation. But I'm reminded that as a believer, I can not be distracted by what I see or hear. The devil is a lier and I can't wait to laugh at him when my marriage is restored. I'm currently attending a "Divorce Care" program. I encourage all who are separated or divorced to seek out this program in your local area, it is truly inspirational. I pray for all us who desire restoration. |

My wife wants to divorce.
My wife has shared with me that she has been unhappy for years. I was not aware that she so unhappy until a couple of days ago. We never really communicated enough over the years for me to know. I did want to be closer to my wife, I love her so much. She never wanted to talk much, she spent the majority of her free time chatting on the computer to people she's never met. She told me she wanted a divorce in April of 2006, we're not divorce, but we are separated. I love her and I never stopped loving from the day we met. We have had hard financial problems, but she was always very precious to me. I don't know what to do. I have apologized for any problems that I couldn't address in our past. I promise her a better future. She doesn't care, she tells me, "She has moved on". I am so hurt. I pray to God everyday asking her to restore the love that was in our relationship at the start. I ask God to work on her heart and mind so she can have a stronger relationship with God. I believe God can do all things, even stop us from getting a divorce. God knows that I want to do right by her. But she simply doesn't want to give me a chance. I don't know what else to do, I don't want a divorce. I love her and my son and I want us to stay together. I really need you to pray as much as you can. Pray that my relationship with my wife is completely restored by the power of God. She is the love of my life and the mother of my child. Please pray that she does not divorce me. |

Wow, In Search of....
I am currently in a similar situation. Hot and Cold with my relationship with our Lord and Savior and hot and cold within my marriage. I pray that God fully restores ( I know he can and he will IF it is his will, which I also believe it is) your marriage beyond your wildest imagination! AMEN! I am too searching for resoureces and direction without leaning too much on this world to help me heal myself, my husband, our family and my marriage. But to lean more on God. I too am a Christian baby. I have been attending our Church on and off for 5 years now. We have both made soooooo many mistakes, and I can say all of them were because we did not have God in hearts and lives the way we should have. We had more peace, togetherness, love, communication, faithfulness and so when we were atleast attempting to follow the Lord and get involved in our Church, praying as a family together etc... than ever and we drifted away becuase we opened our own business and were too busy for God. Well I can assure you and anyone, you have to seek him first and when you dont, especially when you know how great he is and what he can do when you are doing what you are suppose to be... you see very quickly that you cannot do it without him. I am too facing seperation/divorce and am trying to figure out which way to go. I would rather see it restored than destroyed but I am not so sure my husband is willing to take the steps necessary to do so. He says he wants to make it work but again, he isnt doing anything to make it work so I am back to square one, me. I think I have to work on me but also keep him from turning other women. So out of fear I keep him just close enough so that I think he wont. I am just not sure if that right, wrong, good, bad. I am confused, frustrated and want God more than anything, to help me get this right for the last time. Again, I feel your pain and I do pray that he gives you the desires of your heart but most of all that you have a closeness with him like you could never imagine. God is Good!!! God Bless you. |

Blind leading the blind
I would love to have something profound to tell you, something wise, something that would change things for you. I am in the quicksand of a failing marriage wanting to throw the rope to everyone else and cannot fix myself. My heart is breaking for you and for everyone of the shattered people who have commented. All I know that I cling to is that God is perfect and holy. Sin destroyed paradise and we all want paradise. We will not have paradise until Yeshua returns. God is love, may He fold his loving arms around you all and give you that peace that passes all understanding. I have no rope to throw you, but my prayers are with all of you. As I sit on my step at 2 in the morning crying in pain and to God looking up to the stars and feeling the weight of the world, I think about all the other people that I know going through something similar and I cry out for them too. Shalom. |

Did anyone ever consider
Maybe its because we grew up the Disney way. I don't know. So many people view God as a magic fairy that, if they believe in him, will grant their wishes. If life was supposed to be like that, then there would be no point to living it. Instead of asking what God can do for you, ask what you can do to glorify Him. If your marriage is suffering because of your vices, pray that God give you strength to change. BUT YOU MUST WANT THE CHANGE. YOU MUST WORK FOR THE CHANGE. There are no easy fixes, because what comes easily is worth very, very little. God is not a tool, and He is not a magic wand. You can try to twist His word to suit your purpose, and you can believe with all your heart that praying without action will yield results. But it will not. Take responsibility for yourselves, what you've done, where you're going. If your marriage is not restored do not ask the Lord why he failed you. Ask how you failed Him and your spouse, who is also a Child of God. Ask forgiveness, repent with all of your heart, but do not expect a second chance.Only be grateful that forgiveness, when sought in earnest, is given to you. |

God's will?
If Matthew Stillman shared the whole story he would have to own up to his perverse "addiction" and abusing his wife in several different ways. It is one thing to pray for the restoration of marriage, and quite another to stalk a woman, make her fear for her life, and expect God to deliver her back so you can do it again. |

It seems like an epidemic
I am also praying for God to restore my marriage. My new bride and I moved to North Dakota from Texas. Within one month of our arrival the pastor of our new church counselled my wife to separate from me and have no contact for three months(right before the Holidays). It has been over a year ago. I came to find out after the fact that this pastor(a woman)has counselled other spouses to do similar things. If I shared the whole story it would be pretty hard to swallow... So I haven't spoken to my wife in over a year becuse she won't allow it. I've been served with divorce papers.... Not looking forward to the holidays. In spite of the harsh reality that lies before me, I know that all things are possible with God, that he hates divorce. I am thoroughly convinced that His will is to restore my marriage. I have His assurance through my prayer times that I am not going to lose my wife. I even had a perfect stranger, that knew nothing of my situation, tell me,"Matthew, God is gonna bless you.....You have been going through a rough time.....It has to do with a relationship.....God wants you to know he is gonna fix that relationship!" I had met this woman about five minutes previously, and I had disclosed nothing to her about my marriage. At that point I had not seen my wife in several months nor had any contact. All this is to say that I am still standing for God to restore my marriage. I see the negative circumstances and the seeming hopelessness of my situation, However, I also see a great opportunity for God to bring glory to himself. I have had people tell me that I need to give her the divorce, and that I can't force her will. What about God's will...I know from his word that his will is restoration, if it wasn't, then I don't think he would have sent his only Son to reconcile all sinners to himself. Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God... Faith is the substance of things HOPED FOR and the evidence of things NOT SEEN... We cannot be moved by what we see in the physical realm. Faith cannot be based on what we see but by what God's word says. |

will it ever be resolved?
my husband is having an affair with the widow of his bestfriend... we have only been married for three years... and it is our first marriage for both... i waited 31 years before getting married because i wanted to make sure it was the right person that God had for me... my husband is unsaved... but at the time he claimed that he had accepted Christ as his savior when he was young... now he says he never did... doesn't believe... and wants a divorce because i love Jesus more than i love him... ( uh... and what's wrong with that?) he has moved out of our home... and because he has lost his job due to drinking i have had to move out of our home as well... my in-laws and my parents have both been very very supportive and have provided for me a place to live rent-free... i believe God will redeem this... but now i'm starting to wonder if it will ever happen... my heart is broken... i seek God constantly... and the more i seek God... the farther away my husband seems... i'm starting to lose hope... |

Separated and very lonely
please help me understand how to live alone. We have been s eparated 1 year. He says he doesn't want a divorce because god hates divorce but he doesn't want me back. Maybe one day he says. I am lonely. He is supporting me. I give a day to volunteer and babysit when my daughter offers but how do you go on living after 38 years of marriage. My husband told me he's been miserable most of our married life and he blames me for everything that is wrong. Now he just wants his peace yet he says he loves me the way christ loves the church. I don't get it. I am stronger in the lord. Feel his presence all around me lean on him more than ever or I would not make it. My heart breaks and I can't seem to let him go because he says we may be back one day. I want my marriage back. Just not the way it was. He doens't want counseling now. He's doing his own. please help |

Blessed be the obedient
Thank you for the word of your testimony, may you be blessed and find the true peace which passes all understanding in Yeshua Mashiach. Remember the prayer of agreement for those who also pray for you... I ask the L-rd Most High to remember you and ask for the restoration of your marriage. I ask in the blessed name of His son that you may find peace in the land of the living and the restoration of all the enemy has stolen. Remember too O L-rd your servant and the restoration of this marriage, and for all who believe. I ask that the prodigals return home O Holy one. For her husband, for my wife (the one whom I love) and all who have lost their way. In the name of Yeshua, Amein |
