Although my husband was not interested in Christian Science, I had been brought up in it and had depended upon it all my life. So I frequently asked a Christian Science practitioner for prayerful help for me. In each instance the immediate need was quickly met. However, my husband and I continued to have differences.

Eventually a rift developed between us and widened until, after eleven years of marriage, my husband moved out and filed for divorce.
