“I was married 12 years ago for a grand total of three months to a man I barely knew. When that marriage failed, I knew nothing of restoration, or what God could do.”
Joyce Lock
“I took a flying leap into the unknown, escaped, and filed for divorce. In my training, divorce fit right up there with the unpardonable sin. Even though he had also been unfaithful, I was more than shocked that God didn't strike me dead.”
Lesley Pyle (1)
“My world was turned upside down in May 2002. That was when I discovered my marriage of 14 years was over. The pain and turmoil that resulted was, at times, unbearable. I went into my marriage believing completely that we would never be divorced. I believed it wasn't an option to either of us.”
Debra McFarland
“My husband had an affair, but because I simply refused to believe divorce was an option, I stayed with him. Then he had another affair (that I knew about anyway) and this time he wanted a divorce from me.”
Cathy
“I was in my early 30's when we divorced and immediately I found myself back in church… Unfortunately, 20 yrs. later, that marriage also ended in divorce ... but as He always does, My Lord saw me through that difficult time in my life and it was through that that I really grew in the grace and knowledge of My Savior and My Lord.”
Shanon Elisha
“I knew that I shouldn't marry him, but in spite of all of his and my doubts, we went through with it. I had myself believing that once we were married, he would change his mind and love me.”
Evelyn Partlow (2)
“My marriage ended very abruptly and very violently in 1985. I took my son and we started over. I took on part-time jobs to help make ends meet. Things were tight and there were times I couldn’t even buy groceries. But help always seemed to appear out of nowhere.”
Michelle Liga
“I eloped with my boyfriend and we were married in September 10, 1992. I fell away (was I even there?), and started living the wild life (again). After 6 months of marriage my husband served divorce papers on me.”
Stan Borley
“After a few years of what I considered a normal life, a three-year marriage, the inevitable divorce and failed live-in relationship with another woman, I merged back into the fast lane.”
Brenda Helzer
“I was married to a man who was five years older than me. At that time, I was 16, married and a mom… left my husband for my second husband, who I was having an affair with.”
Lisa Walker
“After this close call with death, my boyfriend had a total change of heart and we were married three days after I was released from the hospital. I was 15 and he was 17 so my grandmother talked my mother into signing for me to be married and his father signed for him.”
Laurie Rose Reeves
“Six and a half years after I was married, we separated and divorced. I was literally running for my life. My son and I survived the best we could on my retail manager's salary. The Lord continued to send people into my life to remind me that God wanted my heart. I did return to church, but was not serious about my walk. I continued my sinful life.”
Steve Ridenour
“My chemical company went bankrupt, I lost my wife and kids, I lost my home, and I lost the respect of my business associates. My life was a waste.”
Lynn Veasley
“I began to get angry about everything. I tried to rebuke the devil, but I knew I was out of the will of the Lord. I later got a divorce and went back into the world of sin.”
Paul Umbaugh
“I started two additional nursing home ministries through the Lord and witnessed 13 at one and 11 at the other come to know our Lord personally. I kept these going until my wife at the time left me 3-months after I got out of the hospital, as I was not able to go back to work. Satan was trying, but will never take my faith away.”
Joe Robinson (1)
“I had three children by two different women who had lived with me, and had been divorced twice… Each day separated from God produces destruction, ruin, and death. But each day in His presence adds to life, and that more and more abundant, as each new day unfolds!”
Arnold Neumaier
“This was followed later by a sequence of steps moving back and separating again, sometimes for shorter, sometimes for longer periods. 23 years later, I was divorced and remarried, after having lived 6 years in separation, without any reconciliation in sight.”
Bobby Jack
“Between being dishonest in my marriages and being comfortable living a lie I became dishonest in all aspects of my life. Truly believing in my lies and not being able to tell the difference between what the truth was and what wasn’t. This way of thinking brought me to divorce court.”
Janis Damask
“I just couldn't take it any more and that I wanted to get a divorce… I'm so glad God doesn't push us back to our problems but helps us through them.”
Michael Main
“When I was about 30 years old it became apparent even to me that I wasn’t living a life I wanted to live and if I kept living the life I was living I wouldn’t live it long. I was still using drugs; I was still drinking…a lot... I had failed in an attempt at marriage.”
Joe Winterman
“My wife and I divorced seeing that she loved and wanted the ways that worldly living has to offer.”
Marlene Malachi (3)
“And behold, after he divorced me, I remarried, this time to a Jewish Believer, a God fearing man, praise be to God.”
Joan Morrone (3)
“Forty years later my husband and I got divorced, a mutual agreement.”
