Has God ever restored a broken relationship for you?

I'm single, but I have been reading through the marriage forum some. I see some of the posters having broken relationships. I was wanting to know if any of you all ever had a broken relationship that in your eyes seemed hopepless, but God worked an miracle and restored it?

For example, let's say that you had a relationship. There was communication issues and some other problems. The other person moved on. All seemed hopepless, but God came through and restored you and that person.

I read one time that God can heal any broken relationship no matter how bad it is, I just wonder if he ever has?!?!

If so, how was the relationship restored? How did God work?

Just wanted to make my entry is this thread in faith!

I know of at least two marriages of folks here at CF that were restored, and not only that, but they were renewed in only the way the Lord can. I'll let those folks speak for themselves, hehe. There are tons of stories at the Restore Ministries website; they're so uplifting, and are so helpful to those of us who are currently struggling. Praise God.

Marriage-Yes. Girlfriend/boyfriend-No.

If you want details, you'll have to pm me.

I have had no experience of having a broken relationship restored. I have heard of husband/wife. But I have never seen boyfriend/girlfriend relationships restored.

My serious boyfriend before my husband, we decided we were going to be friends afterwards. Mainly because we were in a small town and it was easier to be civil towards each other. It was too hard to even see each other for quite a while.

The problem with restoring relationships is both people have to want it. If only one wants it, it ain't gonna happen. I think in our case, I wanted him back, but he didn't want to, so we haven't spoken for 4 years now.

Bummer

You'll see references to a book in many of the testimonies, and if you're someone like me, you may initially think that it's a sales scam or something; believe me, it's far from it. This site is annointed and used by the Lord to teach the truth found in His Word as it relates to marriage and families. The book they mention is sort of an instruction manual to get folks pointed in the right direction and a proper foundation established. As with anything else, check what they say against the Word of God. Reading those testimonies was probably the only thing at the time that helped me realize there was hope in the Lord for my whole situation to turn around. I'm not sure where I'd be right now if He hadn't led me there.

R U talking to me? Our marriage has been restored through faith in Christ..My husband cheated on me once. I tell ya it felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest, and honestly I was not sure at first if we would make it or not. The affair though was not the only thing "wrong" with our relationship. We did not communicate well at all. We fought all of the time..

Something my hubby told me last night..I always prayed for Christ to bring you to him..not just whenever we were having our worst problems..I begged and pleaded..I love my wife and I'm so sorry for the way that I am..I want to be married to her..

Funny he told me that because when we had our worst problems yes I was infuriated, and even contimplated divorce..I knew in my heart though that I would reconcile...He prayed and got exactly what he asked. Here I am..

As for the affair Y did I forgive him? He asked it of me, and "repented". This of course took a while for me to belive, and for a while the resentment and anger I had over that almost consumed me..He had his frustrations as well, but we persevered and got through it. I had to realize that nobody was perfect, and that my actions only compounded the problem. That is not excusing..it was part of the forgiving process..

When I became a beliver I started to pray for Christ to come into our marriage and bind us so tightly that nothing could come between us. It is amazing what happens when 2 people are married are praying for the same thing. Our love is maturing and developing into something new...

For instance..One eveing my husband and I got into an argument about something that was nothing. Nothing was wrong or going "badly". In a huff I went off to use the toilet..I started thinking about what was going on, and I thought this is ridiculous! I was convicted to apologize despite the words that sprung from his mouth for I too was guilty...As I turned the corner in the hall there he was meeting me for the same purpose.

Everything though is not flowers and fantasy romance. We have to work together to grow, and now that Christ is in both of our lives teaming is much more fruitful. We are still only human and have our arguments just like everybody else, but Christ is restoring us. Perseverence in Christ even durring the darkest times can bring restoration not only in eternal life, but in physically life as well. We are living proof.

A for you. I know you need it.

Thank you so much, I very much do need it. It seems every other day my feelings about what to do are swinging back and forth. As yet my wife is unwilling to submit to anything that she should (most of all God); it's so great to see you and your husband get over such an obstacle with the Lord's help, and that He's enabling you to reach new places spiritually together. I love my wife, but I don't know how much longer I can hold-out without knowing whether or not there's a chance she'll do what she needs to. It's tough, but I wait on the Lord daily. Thank you Father.
