| My husband and I have been married for 17 years. Have had a total of 4 children. The 3rd as a stillbirth. Our smallest is now 3.5. Have gone through financial ups and downs. In the marriage we almost never argued - except once a year because of money. My husband has always measured here with 1 different standards. What I had available for the whole month, he put on a bottle of champagne. I put everything into education, health and family. And my money was never really enough. Since I never had much myself, I never initiated expensive vacations/events. That was his accusation. He has always been the driving force. However, I always planned the vacations etc when the budget was clear. I filed for divorce for financial reasons - because it's not enough in the back and in front. The children have psychological trauma and are seeing a psychologist. For everything, my husband uses the lawyer or insults me. Our older daughter has just moved in with him. I'm totally devastated and sad. My husband takes every opportunity to insult or humiliate me. I still love him and would love to have a healthy family again - with him. I am a very religious person. I married my husband. And I made a promise to him and to God to love, respect, and honor him. I want our family to be complete again. |

| Dear God, thank you for always being there for me and holding me. Please help me with my family. Give me the strength and patience to persevere and teach me what steps I still have to take to reach my goal. Amen |

Dear Precious Bride from Germany, I am so sorry for your loss of your 3rd baby and I want to start of by saying that your situation is not hopeless for our Loving Lord. For with God nothing will be impossible. L1:37 https://biblehub.com/luke/1-37.htm
And I am so grateful that you found our Ministry and I believe just like the rest of us, you were led here by our Loving Lord and there is going to come a testimony out of your life.
Although you have read the Restore Your Marriage book, I want to encourage you to please do the course https://hopeatlast.com/c1/ because there are so many testimonies included and I want to encourage you to please journal along with the course, because it is of great value to pour our your heart towards our loving Lord.
Dear bride, I am glad that our Lord has brought you to this ministry. He is the best Physician and Restorer of a marital relationship if a woman so desires. Using various crisis situations allows our Lord and God to draw us closer to Him. https://hopeatlast.com/crisis-corner/ . I read that you have read the RYM book. This is a good start and one to keep reading repeatedly. Many answers to questions you will receive will be answered. Chapters 2, 5 and 6 in particular helped me understand why my marriage had ended up in crisis.
In addition, I would encourage you in agreement with the bride Janine to begin reading and writing in your journal the lessons from C1 https://hopeatlast.com/c1/
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.15.16
I look forward to the many Praise Reports you will submit about the wonderful things your Heavenly Beloved has done.
Lots of love
Lieve Bruid,
Ik lees veel pijn en verdriet in je MEQ. Ook ik ben net als Janine dankbaar en blij dat je door Hem naar deze bediening bent gebracht. Hij heeft je hier naar toe gebracht omdat Hij een plan heeft met jouw leven en jouw huwelijk. Hij heeft ook jou geluk en het geluk van je gezin voor ogen
Ik wil je aanmoedigen met deze tekst:
Jeremia 29:11
Want Ik weet welke plannen Ik voor u heb,’ zegt de HERE. ‘Met deze plannen heb Ik uw geluk voor ogen, niet uw ongeluk. Ik wil u weer een toekomst en nieuwe hoop geven.
——
Dear Bride,
I read a lot of pain and sadness in your MEQ. Like Janine, I too am grateful and happy that Him has brought you to this ministry. He brought you here because He has a plan for your life and your marriage. He also has your happiness and the happiness of your family in mind
I want to encourage you with this text:
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “With these plans I intend your happiness, not your unhappiness. I want to give you a future and new hope again.
I also read that a divorce has been filed, so I would like to encourage you to take the lessons below and pour out your heart in the diary.
https://hopeatlast.com/c3/facing-divorce-course/
In these lessons you will learn which principles from God’s Word you should apply during the divorce proceedings. If you trust Him alone, you will have no fear of the things to come.
These lessons have also been very valuable to me. I have experienced that I do not have to fear divorce. Because He is in control of everything. His plan is the perfect plan. He’s all I need.
Ook lees is dat er een echtscheiding is aangevraagd daarom wil ik je aanmoedigen om de onderstaande lessen te volgen en je hart uit te storten in het dagboek.
https://hopeatlast.com/c3/facing-divorce-course/
In deze lessen zal je leren welke principes uit Gods Woord je moet toepassen tijdens de echtscheidingsprocedure. Als je alleen op Hem vertrouwt zal je geen angst hebben voor de dingen die komen gaan.
Voor mij zijn deze lessen ook heel waardevol geweest. Ik heb ervaren dat ik niet bang hoeft te zijn voor de echtscheiding. Omdat Hij alles in de hand heeft. Zijn plan is het perfecte plan. Hij is alles wat ik nodig heb.
