After thirty-four years of marriage, my wife confessed that she’d never loved me, had married me for all the wrong reasons, and had started to fall in love with another man.

I was dumbfounded, shocked, hurt, betrayed. Here we were, both Christians serving the Lord. How could this happen? My wife couldn’t understand why, as a Christian woman, she did not love me the way marriage was intended by God. She was trying to do all the “right things” but was miserable and felt trapped with no hope.

Part of my wife’s day was spent listening to Revive Our Hearts. The clear teaching of Scripture touched her heart, which prompted a contact and started a correspondence with ROH staff.

I started to see a change in my wife’s heart and attitude. She explained to me how she felt toward me, and I saw the mistakes I’d made and how badly my actions had hurt her. I asked for her forgiveness and was able to forgive her for her actions.

Her continued correspondence with ROH staff; studying your resource materials; and many, many prayers were having an effect. She began to realize that for the first time in thirty-four years she was falling in love with me! Then came the day when she said, “I love you beyond a doubt.” What a joyous day! I owe this new marriage to the Lord Jesus and the ministry of Revive Our Hearts.

My wife and I now sit with our coffee and listen to ROH together every morning. Thank you for being there in those dark days and giving us hope and encouragement. God bless your wonderful ministry; it truly does change lives, as I have seen with my own eyes!
