Encouraging tale

[jwebhead]

I feel it necessary to share this with all of you out there hoping and struggling to make your marriage work and not be separated or even reconcile if you are divorced.

For the past 9 to 10months my in-laws of a 30 year marriage have been separated and divorce proceedings started. Lawyers, arguing, etc. My father in-law wound up having an affair after my mother-in-law left him. (no previous infidelity on either side)

Last week things came to a huge head and I did not know it was happening but the Lord laid them on my heart. I had no idea what to pray or how but I did and just asked the Lord to hold on to them.

I do not know all that transpired but a miracle did happen and they have decided to be together and work things through. They both know it will be a hard road ahead but are leaning 100% on the Lord and He is bringing them through.

I hope even if one person reads this and is encouraged and tried that much harder to make their marriage work then it is worth it.

All be blessed and I pray that each and everyone feels the hand of God in their life.

this does give me a little hope.me and my husband have now been separated for pretty close to a month (for about the 20th time in just 4 yrs.).He has moved back to his hometown like he always does.we are both pretty young and I hope we do get back together.But i hope this time we do it in the Lord's way.But I do feel that if he does not try to change some things(and me too) that I will move on.And I like some others do truly believe that the Lord will forgive you for a divorce if that is what it has come to.I believe if you have gave it your all and truly have tried to do it Christ way(and it still does not work out) that he will forgive.There is no scripture in the Bible that can make me believe that he will not.

Praise God! That is fantastic!

I know people who have been married for 30 years and for various reasons were about to get a divorce 12 years ago. Had started proceedings with the solicitors and everything. They thought they'd never be able to work things out, and neither did they want to. Anyway, as a last resort they went to a Christian counsellor who told them that they shouldn't get divorced and that God could make their marriage whole again (all the other Christians they'd sought help from just told them to get divorced!) So they decided to stick it out. That was 12 years ago - they have overcome seemingly impossible problems with God's help and now their marriage is better than it's ever been and they are happier than they've been before too! God has used this to mold their characters and change them and make them more Christlike. They are also now in a position to be able to help others in the same situation. Praise God because He can turn around any situation and use it for good!
