  (SA) I was married for less than a year when my husband started partying more than ever. He would go drinking till he passed out, go clubbing, or my worst nightmare — he would go to strip clubs. The one time he came home late he told me that he had passed out at the club and the club owner made him sleep at his home as he was too drunk to drive.
  I spent more Friday nights going to bed alone than I cared to remember and would cry and pray myself to sleep. I would get so depressed and often wondered why I even decided to get married or why my husband decided to marry when all he did, was go out with his friends till the next morning. When I reached my end, I got on my knees and prayed hard. Things got very hard before they improved but am happy to say that my husband no longer goes out till the early morning and his habits have fallen on the way side. I keep praying coz I know the devil is like a roaring lion and can still find him out and drag him back to that life.

  (NIGERIA) My wife’s pregnancy was frightening. But at the end she had a successful CS and gave birth to two babies (two baby boys).

  All my flights and journeys have been safe and no accidents. To God be the glory. There were two fatalities this year in my place of work but far from me.

  My spiritual life sagged a great deal. I almost let go. But The Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus mercifully kept me. I gave in to diverse temptations, but HIS unwastable grace extended to me. I appreciate this.

  In spite of my unfaithfulness, God blessed me financially this year than any year ever. I was able to assist a few people around me.

  I twice almost committed adultery but God made the ladies, at different times of this temptation, refuse and reject my offer.

  (NIGERIA) As mentioned above, God blessed me this year more than any year ever. I was able to secure huge opportunities that would start yielding thousands of dollars in 2008. All my business partners have signed, legal proceedings have been duly observed and authority secured from the Nigerian Government. My employees have been very productive and God has given them their individual blessings.

  Also, my wife’s personal Enterprise has prospered beyond bounds in year 2007. The expansion we need in 2008 (Italy and America) shall become a reality in Jesus name.

  (UGANDA)  My parents blessed my marriage plans. I was afraid they would refuse since am the last born in my family. Contrary to my belief, my parents received the news well and have given their blessing. My faith has soared and i know that God is more than faithful to grant me the wedding of my dreams.

  (ZAMBIA) Glory be to God, this is my testimony. I had been sick of eyes and could not even see for about 3 weeks. The doctor decided to have me operated on, which I refused. I told my Pastor about it and he came home with a certain sister, who greatly prayed for my healing. This was on Christmas Day, 25th December 2007. Through her God had to reveal the basis of my eye problem. God really works in ways we can not understand, I am healed and have entered the new year with a break through. He is a healing God, Praise be to God.

  (NAMIBIA) PRAISE GOD,
  2006 December; I decided to leave my job and follow my husband to another country and I became a housewife for a year. The Lord blessed me with time for self reflection. I started Bible studying, my marriage got a second chance, I got closer to my husband and children, I studied a course during my year of being a housewife, I went to USA for my Christmas vacation for a month and God protected us through out the journey and vacation. On 9th January 2008, I received a call for a job. I believe and praise God for his timing and favors at His time.

  (CANADA) The book, “An Affair of the Mind” was a helpful tool for me in understanding my spouse’s addiction, as well as helpful to both of us in putting the pieces back together again.
