| I'm here: |
| Seeking healing for myself—I am NOT interested in restoring any relationship. |
| 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?" |
| Yes |
| How did you find our ministry? |
| I'm reading the book at present. Just finished chp 2. One of my spiritual sisters at church gave it to me. I'm seeking healing at the moment, not yet ready for restoration, but hoping it will come. |
| 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? |
| Husband and i have been together for 23 years, married for 16. We met at University, moved in together after 3years and got married 4 years later after i kept nagging him and giving him an ultimatum. He have two children, soon to be 16 (boy) and 6 (girl). We had two miscarriages in between. I don't know where to start. There are so many issues. Physical intimacy is the top of the list for my husband. We have not been intimate for a while and prior to that on and off. We both feel rejected and extremely hurt in different ways/areas and some common areas. We have both been unfaithful in the past (2010/2011). We are disrespectull, unloving in some ways, and unsupportive of eachother. It's chaotic and toxic at the moment. The one good thing is, there is no physical violence, but there is definitely emotional disconnect if not neglect! We don't agree financially, my husband is a spender, I'm not. We don't agree in disciplining our children. I'm more strick, organised and methodic. My husband is not, and resorts to angry shouting, poor boundaries and no method at all. We both attebd church, but are not really applying the scriptures to our marriage, as we keep reacting to eachother's perceived wrong doings. |
| Please use the space below to simply speak to God, in your own words, pouring your heart out to Him. |
| God, our father, you love us both my husband and i equally and for that i am so thankfull. Thank you for your grace and mercy, for undeservingly saving us from our sins and bad choices by sending the Lord to receive the punishment we deserve. You placed us together and you want us to stay together, I have no doubt. I beg you God that you help us to put aside our sinful nature, our pride, our sense of entitlement, our own needs and wants and let You take control. Help us to stop pointing the finger at eachothers faults, but to see and appreciate the goodness in eachother. Help us to correct what is not right in your sight, by obeying your word and putting it into practice. Please God, uncover our eyes to see, break the chains that bound us from doing what is Godly, in the Lord's name I pray, Amen! |

Dear precious bride from the United Kingdom, I am so sorry for all the hurt you are going through. I want to start off with this beautiful promise for you: “For the LORD has called you back from your grief— as though you were a young wife abandoned by her husband,” says your God.” I54:6 https://biblehub.com/isaiah/54-6.htm
Dear precious bride I want you to put all your focus on our Darling Lord, to take His hand and experience His everlasting love, the love that is going to heal you like never ever before and give you the peace that surpasses all understanding.

I too had depression years ago, so I know how you feel, but I also know that the Lord wants to heal you of depression. So please start speaking the promises of our Darling Lord daily into your life – “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.” H4:12 https://biblehub.com/hebrews/4-12.htm
Please listen to the testimony how our Darling Lord freed me from depression: https://encouragingwomen.org/alive-with-a-purpose/
Dear Bride, Your HH loves you. I encourage you to finish reading the book.. How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage because I think it has answers for you and apply the principles to your life. Have a gentle and quiet spirit, kindness on your tongue, and ” be still (silent) and know that He is God and win your husband without a word with your chaste and respectful behavior. His word says that ” Christ is the head of every man. ” So Christ is the authority over your husband in your marriage. You can pray and tell God your situation and ask him to speak to your husband for you regarding finances, parenting, intimacy, etc. and He will. I have shared that principle with pther women and used it myself and it’s amazing how it works!
Dear precious sister ❤️ Right off l see you say that you are seeking healing for yourself and not restoring a relationship. This is the answer! But how do you find that healing? By spending intimate time with the Lord speaking to him about all your hurts and in His word.
Here are the lesson HE brought to mind
https://hopeatlast.com/c1/d17-chapter-13-wonderful-counselor/ which is in the book chap 13. Forgiveness is also a big part of healing. Theres many scriptures on forgiveness.
Lastly keep on reading the book it was where l started. It addresses most if not all of what you shared. And remember that ALL things work together for GOOD 🙌 Give thanks and praise and you will see how it changes things.
