  • What an amazing story. Please pray for the restoration of my marriage and family united. God is amazing.
  • Thank God for being a breakthrough God. When all else fails, stand and let Jesus do the rest. Thank you for sharing your story, this has encouraged me a great deal. I too am in a battle for my marriage. After 36 years of marriage my wife too said that she had enough and she was done with the marriage, done with me, done period. She stated very clearly that there would be no reconciliation and she wants a divorce, and got up and left, and this all happened inside the marriage counsellors office, for our first time as a couple. That announcement left myself and our counsellor total in shock, and did not know what just happened. A few weeks earlier my wife said to our counsellor that she wanted to give this counselling time a good shot and wanted things to work, only to find out, that she was planning to leave all along, and was leading us on. Well, long story short, I can write a book on all the things that I did wrong, attempting to win her back over the next 14 months. I only drove her farther and farther away with each incident, until today in which she has served me with divorce papers and we are in the midst of lawyers. It is Christmas which is my favourite time of the year, and it has been two Christmas' that we will be apart. I have a steadfast, crazy love for my wife, but my love for her has changed from the time she had left me until now. Over the past 4-5 month I gave God permission to love me. That may sound crazy, but yea, I gave Him permission to love me. I have always been a people pleaser and that is how I thought love was all about, if I pleased them, then they would love me back. Well that does not work, because that is love by works, conditional love. Once I gave God permission to love me, which He always had, but I would not let him in that close, just in case He too would reject me, like so many people have done in the past. I felt different at that moment but it took time for me to realize how great was His love was for me, so unconditionally. Wow. It has been a dating process with myself and God, but today I must admit that I have NEVER loved Him the way I do now, and I get it. He just loves me, warts and all. So here I stand, loving my spouse with a new found love, a Jesus love, which is very freeing by the way. My spouse has been so deeply wounded over the years, that she will not even talk to me, and my family is slowly being destroyed and torn apart. My spouse has done some pretty terrible things to me, including creating false allegations about stalking her and harassing her, but God has a way of looking after the Righteous. The Judge saw right through the false evidence and would not give my spouse a restraining order she was seeking for, which would have shown I was a violent Narcissist and she had now a biblical reason to leave and divorce me. Well, that whole thing fell through for her and now she has no biblical reason to divorce me so she is using the worlds reasoning to divorce me, that being, we have been separated for over a year. So she filed for divorce. I am a STANDER, I will stand and interceded for my spouse and our marriage. I believe that we get one shot at this, since Romans 7 and I Corinthians 7 state that a husband and wife are bound for life, unless one is to die, then the other partner is no longer bound to their spouse. Well, I am here and so is she, thus I am bound for life to my spouse. I will always love my wife, and my love is totally different today than it was 19 months ago, because now I see her as Jesus sees her but there is nothing I can do but TRUST and let go and let God take control. Trust has always been a huge issue with me, but now after letting God love me, it is OK. So listening to this story has given me courage to carry on, believing that God will restore our marriage. God can take a dead marriage and breath life into it and resurrect it from the dead, just like he did for Lazarus. I continue to intercede for her, and fighting even harder for her now than ever, but this has to be a God thing. When we are reconciled, which I had an open vision where we were being recommissioned into a new mission to people who are brokenhearted due to separation and divorce, and that we were to come along side those people and help them reconcile with their spouses. I have had over a dozen dreams that my spouse had returned to me. This is different because it is I who has always pursued my wife, but the dreams were all the same, that she would return to me. I believe I am supposed to wait for her now to make the choice that she wants and desires to return, so I wait. A pastor once said, "God's delay is not His denial. God has His plans and His time table to fulfill everything in. God is never too late to bring someone back to life. After all, He is God." With that, I say I believe and have faith in God, and I no longer strive to do something I cannot do. Only God can do what He does best - LOVE! His love for us, will conquer the day. Amen, and Amen. So shall it be!

    Praise God. I am also standing for my marriage. Please if anyone would pray for my wife Michelle and I. Thank you and God Bless.
  • This is what I want for my family. Our children are hurting and I’m hurting so bad. I have forgiven my husband and love him more now than I ever have. I pray God will let him know that and will give my husband that fierce love for me and our kids and then a desire to want to come home. I am missing him because my ‘one flesh’ is gone. I feel it a lot. Please pray for Pat my husband and I.

    Sad sad story, but what a reconciliation. My wife gone and you know what, this is crazy so many people are like this, sometimes i feel that people need to start walking away from family friends and work like they be walking away from there marriages. This lady left for 3 years and he waited for her and she came back to him. Was there any cheating i wonder. But all honor glory goes to god and i'm so happy for you guys 3 years but a lifetime now they will be together untill death do them part. My wife left me and well I understand god can fix anything. But i don't have patience and the world so hard and tough and i'm tired, as a man I have to stand for m marriage the best way and stay faithful and love her like i have always. Door always open for you Caitlin I love you..

    going trough a 1 month separation now, kids are 11 months, 3 years old and a 13 year old. I am starting to get rooted in the word, I cannot rely in my own strenght.
  • @betherealdeal
    Takes a lot of courage to put this online I salute you two Keep fighting
  • For those whose spouses are still alive, be grateful for the chance to appreciate and love your spouse. My husband Ken who was my soulmate passed away 12 years ago. We had our bumps on the road during our marriage but I thank my Lord Jesus Christ that they were never enough for divorce. We would be married 31 years on Sept 24th this year and though he's with Jesus my love for him still lives and I celebrate it as if he were here, but I'm alone with Jesus my Lord and Savior who comforts me. Work on your marriages folks. When your spouse dies you are truly alone, unless you have a relationship with Jesus Christ. God bless yall.

    To Him Who Sits on the Throne, be All the Praise, Glory and Honor! A true story “FIREPROOF”. May God continue to bless you both for the courage to share your experience and the encouragement and hope your story is giving other married couples, going through a similar situation. Remember, there is NOTHING, NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TOO HARD FOR OUR GOD! No matter what your situation looks like, no matter what it feels like, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THEM THAT BELIEVE and THINGS THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE WITH MAN, ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD! I pray that we ALL learn through our trials (in marriage and life in general) to acquire the FAITH of Abraham, The TRUST of the Three Hebrew Boys, the The Praying Spirit of Daniel, the Perseverance of Job and Sacrificial Love of JESUS Himself! Thank you HEAVENLY FATHER for allowing us to see through this couple, YOUR WONDER WORKING POWER OF LOVE AND RESTORATION. Hallelujah to YOU and ONLY YOU JESUS 😇🙏🏾!
