(ZAMBIA) I had lost hope especially that my husband and I could not even communicate well. He is a non-believer and I just got saved. By reading some of the advice on good communication and to avoid divorce, I can assure you there is life after all the hurt. I have learned to love him despite his imperfections instead of comparing him to some of my work colleagues. I am giving him all the respect he deserves as a husband. Though he is not saying it, I can see some change in him. He has been learning to communicate. To those who are trying to leave their spouses, don’t! You can choose to see the good in them and only God can change them.
(USA) Hi Mary, These are wonderful words that you have shared! May God continue to bless you in your marriage. It is hard but eventually you will both get there. The Bible says that the unbelieving spouse is sanctified by the believing wife! (I Corinthians 7:14) That is already happening in your marriage, according to what you say. This is wonderful. To God be the glory! With love and prayers, LT
(ZIMBABWE) I was greatly inspired by your message #241-LOVE COVERS MANY IMPERFECTIONS. In this message you cited one couple, Gary and Karolyn, where the wife was a drawer opener. This message changed my marriage for good. My wife was and is still a handbag opener. The difference now is it no longer bothers me when I see her handbag open. It’s now part of my daily activity to just close the zippers and fasteners. Thank you so much for your ministry. May GOD richly bless you.
(ZIMBABWE) Whenever you are facing a tough time, talk to God. He will listen, and you will find comfort and solace through his word. Telling people will only get sympathy from them, but when you go down on your knees and cry out to God, you can be assured that the situation is now under control. GOD BLESS YOU
(AUSTRALIA) That marriage is a commission from God that which will inevitably provoke spiritual attack. Jesus’ commission to actively strive to be a godly spouse is so important that only His commission to love and serve the One True God is above it (Matt 22:36-39). God is for your marriage, therefore Satan is against it. Make a commitment with your spouse that you shall always strive to fight against evil, and not each other (Ephesians 6:11-13). Finally, to offer up your marriage for the Glory of God and the fulfilment of His Holy Purposes and He will bless you and protect you (Psalm 91).
(SOUTH AFRICA) The Message titled “Do not Demand Forgiveness” has done wonders for me and my hubby. We both just thought a “sorry” would fix it all same time. This message helped us to realize that if I am the partner in the wrong, I must be patient, understanding, and humble enough to give time to my hubby to find it in his heart to forgive me. The same applies to him. I am truly grateful for this message and other messages too.
(USA) My father once told me that love — real love — is an act of will, not based on a feeling. Many times I have looked at my husband (as I’m sure he has looked at me) and said to myself “I WILL love you” when I’ve felt it the least. For me it’s always a powerful reminder that we can be the master of our feelings and not to let emotion alone control our actions.
(USA) Looking at my husband as my partner, my team mate, inspires me to work “together” with him, walk arm in arm with him as we travel the path of life together, make eye contact with him, pray for him, learn his desires that aid in his internal security and strength and encourage him along those lines. We are in this together.
(KENYA) My wife Beatrice discovered and introduced me to this Website before we got married. We now have been married for 4 weeks and I cannot exhaustively narrate how useful this site has been in our courtship and in our new life in marriage. We both find time on a daily basis to read and practice what we read marriagemissions. God bless you so much Steve and Cindy
