Dear Brides, I praise the Lord for the three things He has done in my life. The year 2021 was very painful for me. I have written more praise about how the Lord helps me get rid of the pain of unpleasant behavior and relentless attacks from my EH (earthly husband). Whenever I read that a bride or Erin was grateful to her husband for these marital crises, honestly, I didn't feel that way at all because of the pain I still had and I wanted to be in a place where I would be from the bottom of my heart sincerely and happily grateful.
I have only recently talked after a long time with a girlfriend who was very interested in all the marital principles of RMI (Restore Ministries International), but still struggles with being quiet and argues and explains to her friend why they often argue and she weighs, whether to marry him. I couldn't believe my ears, what came out of my mouth. I first told her that these things wouldn't change after marriage, so if she didn't want to work on herself, let her not marry. Well, then I said, actually yes, let her marry, just let her prepare the book How God Will Restore Your Marriage, which I gave her a long time ago, and that thanks to these marital crises, I at least got closer to God than ever before and that I am actually THANKFUL to my EH for that. Girls, I felt so much joy and no pain that I wondered to myself and praised my HH (Heavenly Husband) in my heart for finally getting me to this place. AMEEEEEEN !!! 🙂
Next thing. My father-in-law, he wanted some other girl for his son, my EH (earthly husband), and I know that when we had crises before marriage, he kept telling him about her. It didn't hurt me, but it wasn't very pleasant either. Recently, during a visit from my in-laws, a situation arose where as first I praise the Lord for saving my heart from seeing this very unpleasant affair that my EH had done in front of his parents. For the sake of discretion, I will not give details. However, I only saw the consequences and they told me what happened and watched how I would react. Even before knowing the Lord as my HH (Heavenly Husband), I would certainly be very hysterical.
Now, thanks to the Lord's love, I was calm, I could even assure my in-laws that my EH would be fine, that he was nervous about them now, because they were pushing him in many things, and I asked them not to do it again. That I learned to live with him, not to push him, not to argue, so we don't have big quarrels and this situation should not happen again. When I then went to my parents for a walk with my daughters, my mother-in-law asked if I was going to explain to them what had happened. I said no, it wouldn't be good, and they would just be scared unnecessarily. She was shocked that I didn't need to talk about it and when I came back she told me that my father-in-law said I was a lovely wife because I am able to tolerate it all. Isn't our Heavenly Husband just amazing??!! Thank you.
And one more thing, we also had my EH's sister here recently, who is divorced. I told her earlier about RMI, about many principles, but she is still inclined to various alternative psychological methods. She didn't want all the RMI courses and book How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage I gave her, actually she could not read it. So I said to myself that I would be quiet and that if the Lord helped me, I would try to be His epistle.
On her last visit, she talked about how she had a problem being okay, smiling again, and being happy when someone was uncomfortable with her. Without saying anything, my EH (earthly husband) interrupted her and said, "Then I recommend the book Anissa gave you. She can smile so fast and be happy after we have a conflict.” AMEEEEEEN! I've had the feeling for a long time that no matter how obedient, quiet and respectful I was, answering the iniquity of the EH with love, it had no effect on him. But obviously, at least he noticed this. Therefore, never give up my dear brides while obeying all the principles you have learned in RMI, even if you do not see any changes in EH for a long time !!! The Lord is working in His wonderful timing! 🙂
