The joy of renewal
This article was adapted from a podcast on JSH-Online.com.
There came a time in my marriage when it was clear that there were major problems in every aspect that is considered a part of married life, and I devoted much prayer to trying to heal the situation. Eventually we divorced. For me, divorce was devastating—it meant that I was a failure.
No matter how long and hard I’d prayed, I still hadn’t been able to heal my marriage. Even after the divorce, I kept trying to bless my former husband. I didn’t really think we would remarry each other, but I did help him prayerfully and in other ways. All during this time, I kept telling myself that if I only knew how to love, this divorce would never have happened. Still, I continued to study and pray, and put into practice the truths I was learning.
