I’ve been married for 39 years. It has been a journey through highs and lows. The lows should have destroyed our marriage, “but God!” Now this message comes along and provided the clarity that make sense of why things happened and why we were capable of hurting each other in the ways we did. Even though we survived the lows with the help of God, there was the crippling unresolved hurt and pain. This message has brought the long needed healing. It was like a light bulb shown in a dark room that guided us onto a path out. This is the hope that was needed the heal our marriage. Thank you!
