“I have to warn you about something. There can come a point in any marriage when you get fed up. You’ve lost patience with waiting to see some kind of change in your spouse. You’ve forgiven again and again and you’re weary of the struggle. You’re through with trying to make things better. You’re tired of being hurt over and over and waiting for a breakthrough that never comes.“The years have taken their toll, and you subconsciously (or consciously) decide you are not going to try anymore. You no longer feel love for your husband (wife) the way you did, and you don’t even care about getting it back.
“This can happen in any marriage where one spouse is working to make things better and the other isn’t trying at all. Your heart can grow cold and hard like a stone, and it will seem as if the love you once had has dies. But the good news is that God has the power to completely turn things around. He is the God of miracles and restoration who makes all things new. Jesus —the ultimate source of resurrection power —can resurrect love that has died and soften your heart toward your spouse. He can bring your marriage to life again.” (Stormie Omartian, from “Praying Through the Deeper Issues of Marriage”)

(SOUTH AFRICA) My husband was overseas for 5 years to work hard so that we could have big wedding day. He left me whilst I was pregnant. I heard that he became a pastor but there were rumors that he was staying with a girl friend. When he returned back home he never spent even a single night with us. The next thing he did is to get married to the woman he was staying with overseas. How could I deal with this ordeal? I got married when I was born again and I love the Lord too much to deserve this. Please help!

(ZIMBABWE) Have been married for two years and with the belief that"Love conquers all" innocently fell a victim to the scum of betrayal and hurt by my husband. I am not saying I myself am perfect. After he moved to work abroad and started having affairs he has finally pushed for a divorce. Though hurt, I believe the LORD wants me to look at the positive side. He may be HIV positive or if not now, with that promiscuous behavior, it will only be a matter of time.
I really prayed and fasted for the saving of my marriage but now have finally come to the acceptance level that the LORD is truly with me. He might not send a donkey to talk as in the case of Balaam but is using this situation for me to really see His hand in redeeming and protecting me. Though marriage is God instituted, sin has marred it and the decisions we make each day determines our destiny.
If you feel you have really prayed on the restoration of marriage and nothing is happening, it’s time you start thanking the LORD for the unseen impending danger that might be lurking at the corner.
The LORD loves us all and would never withhold anything from us if we live holy lives, read and meditate on the Word, and pray unceasingly. And remember "All things work out for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose." If something truly belongs you, though it may have flown away, it will always come back to you. Just stand on the LORD and take heart.

(USA) Hi Gift, I love your testimony and agree with that 100%. I’m sorry to hear about your marriage but stay strong in the Lord - it sounds like you already are doing that! And stay safe in your country with all the political turmoil over the election (very sad to read about that). Be blessed.

(US) This message is for Vava, my name is Keta. I and my husband are separated, not my choice so I can relate a little with what you’re going through. I just wanted to say that God is bigger. The same God that resurrected Jesus Christ can mend a lifeless marriage. Just remember to speak on his return as if it has already happened. And truly believe it will happen. Remember faith can move mountains. I will pray for you, and you for me too please.
