Coach,

A lot of what I believe I get from the rejoice ministries website. They quote a lot of verses and apply them to marriage restoration.

They tell you that you need to make changes, but they also tell you to not leave God out of the equation. They tell you to turn your heart to God and His will and make the changes that He would want you to make and then pray to him and rely on him to restore your marriage in his perfect timing. They tell you not to lose faith just because your eyes don't see what is going on on the othre side of the mountain.

One of the verses they use is for this is...

23 Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. 24 A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. 25 Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. 26 Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.
2 Timothy 2:23-26

I only say that because of the adultery that my W is pursuing right now. But they tell people to pray that their WAS will come to their senses and quit living like this.

I hope that answers your question.

Kevin
