I couldn’t agree more! Thank you for sharing this!
My husband left me suddenly several years ago. He filed for divorce and quickly married another woman. All the while God was promising me that He would restore my marriage if I would trust Him.

But that was exactly what God required of me during our separation…every prayer I prayed pointing out my husband’s faults was met with the same response: I will handle him, but first we need to work on you. Ouch!

We have now been remarried for four years and our marriage is better than it ever was in the 15 years prior. We are both walking closer to the Lord, and yes, our hearts are healing. God absolutely does heal relationships!

I completely agree with you. God can do anything He wants regardless of what we do or don’t do, but I firmly believe now that He cares more about the heart condition of those within a marriage more than the marriage itself.

I used to adhere to the thinking that God would always restore a broken relationship and if I walked away from my abusive first marriage or filed for divorce I was not allowing Him to do a miracle in that marriage. Now what I see, is that after my ex walked out on me God restored my heart to Him and chose to let my ex go his way. The marriage ended yes, but not because I didn’t try hard enough or have enough faith. The marriage ended because my ex chose to continue in his abusive ways and not allow God to work in his heart.

Sometimes God has to destroy something completely so He can make something beautiful out of the ashes, and sometimes that doesn’t mean restoration of that particular relationship.

Good thoughts!

I truly believe what you are saying God will first work on me and by working on me and I believe the rest shall fall into place. It’s true I can’t change her but if we are both spiritually fit there is hope I thrust in God and believe what ever the outcome it’s his will not mine.
