| No |
| How did you find our ministry? |
| I have had the books for a long time I read the testimonies and have started both the Wise Woman and How God can and will restore you marriage |
| Now, please tell us about your situation and why you have come to us for help and what has your husband/partner said are the main issues or problems he has with you and your relationship? |
| My husband and I have been seperated for 7 years. God began dealing with me a couple of years ago. I did not have any feelings for my husband but could never follow thru on the divorce. My son came home 3 times and said please do not divorce my dad. The first time I blew him off, the second time I was kinda paying attention the third time I knew immediately who was talking to me and I was angry. My husband would say its because of I am controlling, angry and that I am over weight. His sister and I do not get along. While my husband has had affairs since seperating his sister is a huge wedge between us. |
| Please use the space below to simply speak to God, in your own words, pouring your heart out to Him. |
| God, I know that I have heard from you I know your voice. You created a desire in me to see this marriage restored. This is too big for me to handle. You keep bringing us back together to work and I am seeing progress. Teach me just to rely on you not what I see. Please change me to become the wife that my husband needs. I really want to submit to him in all things. I want to see our companies merge. Running 2 of them are really hard. Some days I just want to give up. I want to be a testimony of what you can and will do for us. |

Dear Bride, I know the situation you are facing feels very frustrating, but with the Lord, there is always hope! “Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. You will increase my honor and comfort me once more.” Ps71:20-21
I see you said you have the books but have not read them yet. I would encourage you to first read the book How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage.
My husband was once living away from home. I was heartbroken but it gave me so much more time to spend and get to know the Lord. I believe that the best thing you can do right now is to continue to trust in Him and wait for His guidance. He knows what is best for you, and He will not lead you astray. Spend time in prayer and in His Word. Allow Him to heal your heart and to give you the strength you need to keep going. https://hopeatlast.com/c3/day-2-chapter-2-first-love/
I would also like to encourage you to read the following lesson on dealing with adultery: (https://hopeatlast.com/c2/d16-dealing-with-adultery/).
Dear Bride, many of us went through mixed emotions when we first started this journey. I’ve once let my resentment fester and now when I think back, I had to repent and forgive myself over and over again in the course of this whole journey. If there’s one thing I learned on RMI, is to take my emotions to the Lord not anyone else. He is most loving God ever and He understands exactly how I feel. I encourage you to pour out your heart before Him – “Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.” Psalms 62:8
When you are finished with the restoration book (though I encourage you to read it a few more times), I encourage you to JOURNAL the free lessons and feel free to start here –
https://hopeatlast.com/c2/establishing-relationships-restoration-secrets/
In here you will learn a very important principle – letting go. Not letting go of your marriage but entrust it in God’s hands. “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” Matthew 21:22
Dear Bride, I am so sorry to hear about your situation, going through a marital crisis and adultery is never easy and it’s heartbreaking, I’ve been where you are now and want to assure you that nothing is impossible with God.
I agree with what Hope and Gioia shared above. During this time focus on your relationship with the Lord. Do not confront your husband about his adultery because it will cause your husband to want to get away from you more and cause a huge hate wall between you. I’ve been there and in the end confronting my husband just caused more destruction. Let go (https://hopeatlast.com/c2/d15-the-freedom-of-letting-go/) and let God work in your situation and in your husband’s heart while you focus on the Lord.
