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: |
| United States |
| 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. |
| Married and my husband lives with me. |
| Have you read the book "How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage?" |
| No |
| How did you find our ministry? |
| Searching online for stories of God healing marriages. |
| 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 will not attend family events and he will hardly speak to anyone in my family or his. It's been 5 years and he will not discuss the issue. We fight every single time it is brought up. He says he just doesn't get along with anyone. He cannot pinpoint any particular instances that upset him. He says life is too short to be around people you don't like. My children adore him and I fear getting divorced bc I don't want to be separated from my kids. I feel alone bc this situation makes no sense to anyone. People think talking to him will help but it makes everything worse! |
| Please use the space below to simply speak to God, in your own words, pouring your heart out to Him. |
| God, I don't want this anymore. Deep down i do but I can't live like this. I want my home to be open to loved ones. I want to host celebrations and holidays. I want love and laughter not confusion and embarrassment to fill this home. My children are growing fast and will soon notice their dad's absence at every event. Their cousins will start asking if they even have a dad. What do I do? Do i leave? Do i stay? How do I survive this? This is not how a marriage should be. |
| In order for us to minister more effectively to you, please check what concerns apply to you: |
| Depressed. |
| 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. |
Dear Bride, I am so sorry to hear about your situation, it must be devasting to go through this. BUT I want to assure you that nothing is impossible with God, and He will fight for you, you only need to be still.
I would like to encourage you stop all arguing with your husband, and only talk to the Lord about everything. Fighting and arguing will only make matters worse and will cause a hate wall between the two of you.
Since you haven’t read the How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage book, I would like to encourage you to start with Course 1 (https://hopeatlast.com/c1/).
I also want to share the following verses with you to meditate on:
“For nothing will be impossible with God.” Luke 1:37
“The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” Exodus 14:14
Dearest bride, I can’t even imagine what you must be going through.
I want to reassure you, that you are not alone, and that nothing is impossible for our Lord.
Like Adina mentioned read the How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage book, and start with Course 1 https://hopeatlast.com/c1/
Give everything to our Heavenly Father, He is right there waiting for you with open arms.
I’d like to leave these verses with you:
Psalms 34:18 NIV
[18] The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
https://bible.com/bible/111/psa.34.18.NIV
Isaiah 41:13 NIV
[13] For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
https://bible.com/bible/111/isa.41.13.NIV
Dear Bride can relate so much with what you are saying, my situation is very similar, and I have lived through it now 4 years and I did and sometimes do the same question! This is not how a marriage should be, but the Lord sees it and He is at work we need to have faith, I will make all things work together for our good. E.H doesn’t have it anyway, I am very focus in living my abundant life with the Lord, there is no one that can truly give us and our kids what we really need only the Lord, pursue him, take His hands and let him lead you I encourage you to read course 2 (https://hopeatlast.com/c2/)
And Abundant life series.
Thank you, we have a 3 Cord of comments supporting \o/\o/\o/ this bride. This session is now CLOSED
