This episode is so raw and refreshing. Their year 7, was our year 3. God can heal broken marriages if we yield to him and is obedient. We are about to celebrate 18 years of marriage in December. I am thankful that we are at a healthy place in our marriage. Be encouraged.

I'm on the verge of giving up on my marriage, eventhough, my spouse is doing everything possible to be a good and better husband but somehow i still want out but listening to these couples, I've been crying my eyes out, I need to go back to God. Thank you so much for this, I needed this, I know there's a reason why I woke up from a deep sleep, and my TV was still on and tuned to this channel to think I was about to switch off my TV, but something told me to wait, and listen I know God has a plan for me. Thank you so much for sharing this and for those prayers. This is the first time in a long time I felt good inside. God bless.

There’s 2 books that you should buy, The power of a praying wife, by Stormie, and Love & Respect by Dr Emerson. These books will help you, change you, and completely turn your husband/marriage around. You cannot give up, the devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy especially marriages.

It hit me when he said we can study, but not apply the word. That was so powerful. I had to stop putting so much on ppl that talk the Bible and cherish ppl that walk the Bible.

[@LaurenDenise]

Laterras, when you read that section of scripture in Tatianna's book, I had to give a good old shout because that's one of my favorite scriptures. To know that Paul wrote Philippians while he was in prison - going through active persecution - has given me so much hope during some of the hardest times of my life. Regardless of the external or internal prisons we endure, we CAN think on the goodness of God and seek Him out, not only for His instructions, but for His PEACE - a peace that passes all understanding. Thank you Jonathan and Tatianna, for testifying to the restorative power of our obedience to Christ and His Word.

This ENTIRE thread ( between the 2 of you ), sounds manipulative & demonic. For someone to be in a relationship with you THAT long and suddenly want to end it.. you must obviously have some HUGE obstacles to OVERCOME, BEFORE trying to "get back together". Or.. maybe your time together has come & GONE. Get some INDIVIDUAL therapy, then move on.

I know its no coincidence that I'm on my last day of a 21 day fast to be intentional about the next season of life as God prepare me for my future Husband. I've journaled throughout this process of what my heart desires, the lessons I've learned from these encounters with God, and what has been poured into my heart through the word. To watch the Merritt's is nothing but a God thing. I now look forward to Wednesday mornings.

[@hopeg6023]

OMG!!! SHE HAS MY TESTIMONY!!! Mine ended in divorce after him filing at 10 years, but God has told me that He is going to renew it and use my journaling to write my testimony when it's done. I've done and continue to do my work, and just waiting for God to continue His good work in him so He can use us as a testimony. In the meantime, I still treat him with love and respect and cover him in prayer. God has given us free will... so if he decides he doesn't want to do what God has spoken and shown...then I am still trusting God for His victory no matter how it will look in my life🙌🏼🙏🏼

There it is again… unable to avoid this time and said, “Ok, let me watch and see whats going on!” Thank God I did! Their integrity about love for God and family was so organic.

I loved this episode, I’m at a place in my life where I have given up on love and meeting my forever. Watching today listening to their story has given me a little hope. I just ordered her book and I’m looking forward to reconnecting with God through this Devotional Book. Thank You Laterras R Whitfield for another great episode.

Me too… growing up watching my mother being abused non stop until her life ended. Men is like an afterthought, I haven’t talked to anyone… I’m tired of men walking up to me saying I’m their wife when they already have one. These ungodly men be something else. I keep hearing women say they had a vision of their husband. I keep having dreams and visions of a guy I never met but I just support what he does. I never looked at a man and felt anything like were supposed to be together but I feel him in my spirit and I’m just always praying for him… but he keeps popping up throughout my day. I know it sounds crazy… and I’ve been single and celibate for 14 years.

Agreed.

[@susanakaan810]

Great, so many lessons here 1) we should not lose ourselves in marriage ( love your self) 2) maintain an intimate relationship with God 3) surround yourself with things that lift your spirit 4) we reap what we sow: he poured into his wife spiritually in the beginning and she later lifted him back to his place in God Great story, beautiful couple, two submitted hearts.

This podcast is such a blessing to so many , I’m truly grateful for this man of God , this ministers to me when I’m going through, it also gives me hope because I am a woman who still believes in true love and romance , that’s what I want and I refuse to settle , somebody pray my strength in the Lord ❤
