Please Note: We ask that you reply to this post ONLY if you are an IOU Student working towards qualifying for your Marriage Minister Certificate.
Next to your name, we must see your IOU Level, for example:
| Country: |
| US |
| What language do you speak? |
| English |
| I'm here: |
| Seeking restoration for my marriage. |
| What is your current marital status? Please be sure to choose the one that BEST describes your situation. |
| Separated: I am married, but my husband does not live with me. |
| Have you read the book "How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage?" |
| Yes |
| How did you find our ministry? |
| Encouraging, but I should read it again because I read it a while ago and I need hope again. |
| 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 separated for over 4 years. He left because he said he felt abandoned by me. I didn’t go anywhere, but I was very depressed and became very introverted so I did not give him the love, attention & affection that a wife should give her husband. That in turn made him feel like I didn’t love him or want him so he felt abandoned. |
| Please use the space below to simply speak to God, in your own words, pouring your heart out to Him. |
| I really don’t know what to say anymore. I’m worn out, tired, sad, etc. I just want my marriage and the man I married back, but better than it was before. The man he is right now is not his true godly self. |
| In order for us to minister more effectively to you, please check what concerns apply to you: |
| Thankfully I have no other concerns other than my relationship at this time. |
| Finally, please choose how you would like us to conduct your Marriage Evaluation from the choices below. |
| Posting your questionnaire Privately to an assigned IOU Marriage Ministry Student. Sample |
Dearest bride, my heart hurts with you, I am so sorry to hear what you are going through.
I would like to encourage you to start with the first course: https://hopeatlast.com/c1/
As you work through these you will start seeing our Heavenly Father working with you and bring you to the place Ge designed you to be at.
Cling to Him in everything you do.
Begin to Spiritually feed your soul. READ one section of Psalms & Proverbs.
These have helped me daily as a reminder of His promises to us.
I want to leave this with you:
God can change his heart!
We don’t need to worry about his will. Instead, we need to pray for our husbands’ heart to be turned. “The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes” (Prov. 21:1).
Pray that God will give him a new heart and replace his heart of stone with a heart of flesh! “Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh” (Ezek. 36:26).
Dear Bride,
I am so sorry to hear how much you are hurting. I too have experienced my EH leaving me for a couple years before returning home. All the while I remember feeling so hopeless. But I know that He has allowed all of this to happen for your good! He loves you so much and doesn’t want you to continue to be hurt and rejected. I would highly encourage you to begin course 1 (https://hopeatlast.com/c1/) and to reread the RYM book along with journaling your thoughts. This will help shift your focus from being on your EH to a new Love. His Word will help heal your broken heart and renew your spirit. Take this time now to get closer to Him and I promise you the more time you spend with Him, the easier everything else becomes.
”Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.“
Matthew 6:33 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/mat.6.33.NLT
”For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.“
Jeremiah 29:11-13 NLT

Chère fiancée
J’ai moi aussi a un certain moment de ma vie fait une dépression. Lorsque j’étais mariée, rien ne me satisfaisait, j’avais un vide a l’intérieur de moi que rien ne réussissait à combler. Lorsque que j’ai tout perdu, j’ai trouvé le Seigneur, mon époux. Je marche avec Lui tous les jours, je Lui parle et Il m’entend. Lorsque je recommence à être de nouveau triste, c’est parce que je me suis éloigné de Lui. Cherche ton Époux Celeste , et le reste reviendra à toi lorsque tu seras prête à le recevoir.
Je te conseille ces livres: https://loveatlast.org/ryr/

Je te laisse avec ces versets: «« Je vous ai dit cela pour que vous ayez ma joie et pour que votre joie soit complète.»
Jean 15:11 PDV2017
https://bible.com/bible/133/jhn.15.11.PDV2017
«Pour un pauvre, la vie est toujours mauvaise. Mais pour un homme heureux, c’est tous les jours la fête.»
Proverbes 15:15 PDV2017

Dear fiancée
I too suffered from depression at a certain point in my life. When I was married, nothing satisfied me, I had a void inside me that nothing could fill. When I lost everything, I found the Lord, my husband. I walk with Him every day, I talk to Him and He hears me. When I start to feel sad again, it’s because I have distanced myself from Him. Seek your Celeste Spouse, and the rest will come to you when you are ready to receive it.
I recommend these books: https://loveatlast.org/ryr/
https://loveatlast.org/hhm/.
I leave you with these verses: ““I have spoken this to you so that you may have my joy and that your joy may be complete.”
John 15:11 PDV2017

“For a poor person, life is always bad. But for a happy man, every day is a party.”
