how did ow die? Did she die after h came home? Did h just suddenly come home? I agree with you that God wants us to do his will with our lives that's part of the agreement to saving the m. i know when h left the first time God told me if h came back I had to do God's will for my life, but i didnt do that as much as i should have, and that's one of the reasons h left again. because i was focused on what h was doing, and not what God wanted me to do with my life.
I also understand now when it says in the m vows "for richer or poorer". I never thought making a lot of money could destroy a m too. I thought only not having enough would cause that.
Do you go to rejoiceministries. com. Charlyne is a saint, she is so great, she saved her m too.

Snow thank you for stopping by. My intent in posting was to give hope and encouragement to others. My h was gone almost 4 yrs which was a really long time when he was gone. My faith wavered, I had no self confidence, I was scared and lonely, I didn't know about my future, but I did enjoy reading other restoration stories. They gave me hope, encouragement and faith that my own marriage could be saved.

Rysmom, we are not sure how ow died. Could have been self inflicted. My h walked in the door 2am on a Thurs. Sunday 5am she passed away. It was a very eerie feeling for me when we received the news. God had me pray for breaking of a soul tie between them 6 hrs earlier. I prayed it would be severed forever and then God had me pray for ow. I did, so I was a bit shook up with the news of ow, with all that God led me to pray. I did share with my h my prayers. My h too agreed it was devine intervention. The news was creepy and relieving at the same time. It was like wow, the heavens opened up for the restoration of our marriage. H and I started praying ever since for us for our marriage for direction for guidance. It has been a real amazing time for us. My h is here and dedicated and committed like I have never seen before.

Also with the healing that I received weeks before it's like the past has been wiped away. The resentment, anger, fear, hatrid, is gone. Is almost as if the past never happened. I know that sounds weird and I would have never thought it myself, but I am living proof that God can change people with a blink of an eye. Without the cleansing and healing of myself the restoration of our marriage could have never happened. God knew what we needed and gave us a DO OVER as my h and I say.

I found rejoiceministries while I was on this site. I got great inspiration from them. I think I was at my lowest and was on the verge of giving up and then boom I found them and was able to continue on with standing and having faith in God that he did have a plan for my life.

The best part of all of this though, is my h has found God and we are praying daily. It was the best gift God could have given us.

I pray for my h soul to be saved first and then i pray for our m to be restored. I don't want my h to burn in hell and that's where he is headed if he doesn't repent from his sinful life style.

Our starting date on DB is almost the same.

Rysmom my h did come home unexpectedly. He just showed up at our door at 2am on a Thur. Now he was over earlier that evening visiting with the kids. Now even though he showed up I didn't know if he was staying or what. I didn't ask my h what he was doing here. I just had been healed and was taking my direction from God, so h and I didn't have a discussion of what he was doing home and for how long. At this point I was having all my conversations with God.

For whatever reason my h couldn't break that contact with ow. I truly believe it was demonic forces that kept him going back. That is why after he came home this last time I just prayed and said God I can't do this with my h. I said God he is here today, but I felt he didn't have it in him to break all contact 100%. Well, God knew that too and the ending is ow is gone and is never coming back. I know this all sounds so weird, but I am just saying what happened to me.

This whole situation grew my faith 1000 fold. It has been nothing but peaceful now that ow has been removed from our lives for good. I think my h was a bit shocked too that she ended up dead. Also my sharing to h of praying with direction from God made him a believer. He already knew I was walking with the Lord when I married him, but this strengthed his faith as well.

Rysmom I felt the same way as you about my h's lifestyle and sinful ways. The problem is/was I let him know it. I know now that I didn't need to point out all of this stuff to my h that wasn't my job. That was for God to handle.

I was not a good DB'er. My voice got the best of me. I also carried all my resentment hatrid anger in my heart, so our marriage could have never been restored. I needed to be healed. God gave that gift to me. Once I was healed then it led a path for our marriage to be retored and God just did the rest.

I hung onto those hurts for so long, but once that mask was lifted from my soul it allowed my heart to be filled with God's love. I just found myself living my life for really the first time. Talking to strangers, being happy, loving God instead of this hurt, angry person that I had been for so many years. It was such a liberating experience that I can't even describe to someone unless you have actually experienced it. All the hurts everything was gone out of my soul. Gone! It was amazing!

God allowed me to really love others for the first time in my life. Best gift he could of also given me.

Thanks Rysmom. I will pray for you and your family. With all the destruction and hurts in this world we need more people praying for us.

GG - I am so excited for you. I know that when God moves...things happen. What is it like having a husband who is saved now? I see you say that you pray every day together. I'm just having a hard time imagining that. Looking forward to it but having a hard time imagining it. Can you tell us what made your husband turn from the way he was going to God? If you don't mind sharing that with us. Thanks!

In 2010 when he was home we were going to a Catholic Church. I think h was doing it because he felt obligated or maybe it was his way of doing something he knew I wanted. The problem was we were going to church, but I don't think either one of us really were making it right with God or knew what we should be doing.

We would go to church, but then for the most part treated each other like crap. H was still contacting ow, but living with me. Me I was living with h, but going on dating websites and talked of how I couldn't wait to get a job and move out. It was a horrible mess. It was a very confusing time for both h and I. I wasn't healed so when he did return I couldn't accept him. I was struggling so much and I am not so sure h was where he wanted to be either.

Once I was healed and ow had passed away God spoke to me and said you need to be praying with your h before bed each night. I let my h know that God had spoke to me about praying and asked him if it would be ok if we prayed each night. He said yes. So each night before bed I pray for us. My h isn't much into praying himself but allows me to do the praying. I also ask him what he needs prayer for.

Also I now witness to my h of what God is speaking to me about and when God answers our/my prayers. I think h can appreciate our praying together now.

I also spend time praying with our kids and we praise God out loud all the time now. It's way different than how we were living prior to all of this mess.

I don't know if my h will ever be a leader in prayer, but one step at a time. God has shown us he can move mountains and just praying together as a family is huge. We haven't done this in years.

Thanks snow for your encouragement.
