"My Husband Wanted to Date Other People"

I contacted RMI after I'd been married only a few short months. I was deeply distressed because my husband began staying out all night with “the boys.” When I tried to confront him about it, I found him to be unresponsive and even hostile. Soon he announced that we should begin dating other people. I knew then that there was another woman involved. Right after we married we stopped going to church. So when I tried to pray, I felt guilty and unworthy; however, I didn’t know what else to do or where to turn. Two days later I found myself at a conference on home schooling a Divine Appointment as HopeAtLast.com says!

Since I had no children I couldn’t understand WHY I had even gone there! Soon after the meeting started I decided to leave, but then, when the speaker began to share her testimony of her restored marriage I just knew that the Lord had heard my prayers for help!!! When the speaker finished, I ran to the product table and bought both How God can and will Restore your Marriage and the women’s workbook A Wise Woman.

That night I realized that my marriage had been built on sinking sand and it had fallen.

It took diligence and faith to endure the next several months when my husband filed for divorce. However, my husband could not deny the changes he saw in me! Nevertheless, he did everything he could to push me away. He dated new women, flaunting them in front of my face and calling after his late dates to tell me all the details I DID NOT WANT TO HEAR. His goal, my EH said later, was to make me hate him. But by then I had my HH love and nothing my EH could do would affect me. I remained quiet and focused on my new Love.

Things got worse, but I refused to contest or fight my husband about the divorce. Frustrated, he dropped the divorce. He said he “felt guilty because I wouldn’t fight back.” A few months later the Lord used a tragedy in my EH own personal life as his “wake-up call” he said crying. My EH best friend took his life. After the shock, my EH called me and repented of his regrets because of his unfaithfulness to me and to their marriage.

Today, eight years later, we are still “very happily married” and have TWO precious little girls who I homeschool. Restoration Babies RMI calls them. We both agree how wonderful it is to know that we are now together forever and that neither of us ever thinks or speaks of leaving as we used to.
