God is continuing to restore our marriage.

​​​

Marriage has been difficult for Dan and I over the past 25 years. Sadly, we have come close to getting a divorce. But God stepped in, changed our hearts and saved our marriage. Watch our testimony here.

​

We have been through many difficult days and I have cried countless tears. We had gone to many different counselors, but none of them seemed to help at the time. All we would do was to point our finger at the other person. We need deeper healing than what they were able to provide us.

 

Then in April of 2018, we joined a Re/engage marriage group through our local church in Denver and it started to turn our marriage around!​

Each week, the leaders walked us through what God says about our marriage and we were encouraged to focus on our relationship with the Lord. We had to come clean with ourselves and our spouse. We had to "stay in our own circle" and admit that, "I am the biggest problem in my marriage." This ministry gave us the tools we so desperately needed to use in our marriage.

God put us in an amazing group with 4 other couples and I can't tell you how much of a blessing they were at that time in our lives! The Bible clearly says that we are to be in community with our brothers and sisters in Christ. And I can honestly say that that group was the most encouraging and rewarding blessing of all!​​​​​​​​​​​

​

So, I highly recommend joining a Re/engage group near you. Whether you rate your marriage a 1 or a 9 on a scale of 0-10, I promise, you won't be disappointed!​ And to help you get started, I wrote weekly prayers that coincide with the Re/engage book and I am happy to share them with you. Just click here.

I encourage you to pray these prayers over your marriage each week as you go through your Re/engage book together or on your own, or as a couple OR on your own without the book.

 

Or, if Re/engage is not available in your town, here some options and Ministries you might want to try:

1. Ask your church if they have a marriage classes or a counseling department to help you both work through your issues. Remember, "I am the biggest problem in my marriage" and divorce is never an option!

​

2. Focus on the Family -provides marriage retreats for couples who are struggling or need help.

​

3. Love After Marriage - ministry also has intensive retreats that are available. My niece and her husband recently went and they said it was life-changing for their marriage.

​

4. Most important more tip: Pray together daily! God can soften your hearts and He can restore your marriage! I promise, we are living proof of this!  When we spend time with the Lord together, it draws us closer together and we find hope and the strength that we need to keep fighting this ongoing battle against the evil one! Studies have found that when you pray together daily 99%+ of couples stay together!

​

(Couples who pray together daily have a divorce rate of less than 1%, compared to about 50% for the general population. Studies show that only about 11% of couples pray together consistently, yet those who do report significantly higher marital satisfaction.) homeword.com
