A few weeks back a friend was sharing her marriage story with me.
Her marriage was damaged by infidelity
about as badly as a marriage could be. She
had come from a very dark place where there was little light or hope of keeping
a marriage and a family intact, much less of ever trusting and loving again. Now several years later her marriage is in a
better place than it has ever been. I
asked what her secret was so that I could package it and distribute to other
couples going through the same thing.
There are so many women, so unhappy in their marriages. They are trying so hard to make it work and
their guys are just not co-operating. I
am always so encouraged when I hear from her.
I asked her for permission to
share her “secret” with all of you. Here is how she and her husband brought back
to life a marriage so dead that hope was nowhere to be found.

Amanda’s Marriage “Secret”.
I think our formula is about the love we share for each other. I see so many unhappy folks in marriages. For Zach and I staying together is a choice. No matter what is going on, we choose each
other. I used to think nothing could
hurt us. I was wrong. I used to think Zach was above doing anything
that could destroy us; I was wrong. I
put stress and strain on him, I made him
out to be larger than life. And when he failed and proved he was but a
mere human mortal, it destroyed us. I
love him. He loves me. And,
that love is why I'm still here. He
shows me in so many ways how he feels. He
came back for me when I was drowning in the hurt of his actions. He
helped me save myself. He held my hand
when I couldn't hold his. He loved me
even when I struggled to love him back. He's my forever partner. He's my love.
I think for way too many folks they loose sight of the person
they married and they throw in the towel too soon.
Zach and I wouldn't be where we are without the work we have both
put in. Zach has been a huge part of
how we got to where we are…..he changed his behavior. He came back for me when I didn't think I
could stand up, he took what I dished out. He helped me heal. I can
honestly say I love him, truly love him!
