Healing Marriage

I have to deal with recurring flashbacks of my divorce as kind of a mental trial or flaw in my character. Hearing that, you might think this disqualifies me from giving comments about what a healthy marriage should look like. "Sounds like that guy’s not yet healed, so what does he have offer me?” But, I do, in fact. I have hard-earned special insight into healthy marriages. I learned it the way we learned about healthy bodies in medical school: We studied diseased bodies.

¿Cómo evitas una aventura amorosa? Y si uno sucede de todos modos, ¿cómo te curas de la infidelidad? El objetivo de esta guía es ayudarlo a comprender las respuestas a estas preguntas, aunque simplificadas, y ampliar también estos temas. ¡Esta guía lo ayudará a comprender varios factores de las relaciones amorosas en las que nunca antes había pensado! Cuando se trata de asuntos amorosos, hay muchas cosas involucradas. Y una de las razones por las que no se tratan de la manera correcta, es la información errónea, o tal vez la falta de información.

After a few short years, I learned that infidelity had infiltrated my marriage. I went through a phase of shock that quickly transitioned to extreme anger. During my angry stage I went through every emotion imaginable and made many mistakes that hindered my healing process. A process that could have been over very quickly took me years to get through.

Over the 20-year period that I was trapped in an abusive marriage, I left and reconciled with my husband many times before God gave me the courage to break free once and for all. I wanted to find a book that would soothe my troubled spirit and show me clearly the Scriptures that speak of God's heart for hurting and abused women. I could not find such a book and so, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I wrote this 40-day devotional. This devotional aims to comfort and uplift the hurting heart of any woman who, like me, was overwhelmed by the pain of an abusive marriage.
