Divorce and remarriage is a perversion of the picture of the relationship between Jesus and His bride, whom he died for and would never, ever, ever divorce. ~Voddie Bauchman
It happens everyday. With each new story, my stomach churns. Another spouse gives in to the slow fade of sin, smearing black and wide and turning it to gray. Families crumble as they walk out the door toward the island of desire.
TEARS INVADE, but it’s impossible to make sense of it all. He/she cries out for answers. What did I do wrong, Lord? How can I fix it? How will I ever survive this?
If you have landed on this blog lost in the waves, feeling consumed by despair…it is my desire to share with you what God has shown me. I pray you will find peace, comfort and hope through our savior.
Most of the resources here assume that your spouse is unwilling to fight for your marriage. To the best of my knowledge these resources are in line with God’s word; however, as with everything you read, hear or think- take it to God in prayer. Don’t take my word or theirs.
