I was blessed enough to find Chris and Steph on Instagram sometime last year. Such a blessing! My husband and I were separated for 6 years (2013-2019) and have been working on restoration and reconciliation since. Please keep us and our children lifted in prayer.
About to get divorced in a few months. To all Believers who see this, PLEASE pray for my wife and me. I've done all I know/can and don't know what else to do. I've tried loving the best I can, even if not reciprocated/received. Praying for a miracle. Please pray for us.
Hey there, Alex. Thank you so much for sharing your prayer request. The XO Marriage team will certainly be joining in faith and agreement in prayer for your marriage. Please feel free to visit xomarriage.com anytime.
Just came across this video. Such encouragement. Thank you for sharing! Was divorced in April, ‘22. We both still loved each other (blended family, a lot that occurred). I still have faith that God can rescue and save my former husband and the marriage. Keep planting the seeds of hope! 💜🙏
For me, it felt like death. I was depressed and cried for three years. The wasband left. Started dating other women. He never returned. Filed for divorce and hasn’t returned. I accepted it. I still believe I’m worthy to be loved and will get married again one day
Yes , like a death. But the person is still alive and keeps reappearing, which brings up the pain again. It gets better over time , and you move on and realise you are better without .
After being married then divorced 13 year later, now coming out of a 5 year relationship that failed I have all but lost hope in ever finding the right Christian woman. Your testimony today helps restore some hope deep inside me. There is a reason the lord led me to these podcasts I just have to learn to listen to him.

Awesome testimony. I'm recently separated almost a month now. I really miss my husband I love him, but I was never enough for him. I got a apartment. Please pray for us. I don't know what the future holds, but I am just trusting whatever God has for me is the best. His name is Madaleno and Christina Mendoza
Not sure if she means this. My husband and I are still married but often I have felt this way bc I would do for him and he would reject it or me sometimes and it hurt.
He started going to church he was battling in addiction of drugs and alcohol then alcohol he had stayed sober for almost 2 years. He recently went back to the world and the drugs in alcohol. Yes we are still married.
Nothing I ever did was enough for him he chose his family over me. And through the whole time that we have been together we were more separated is separated than together. He would choose to sleep on the couch start a fight. So that would be his excuse to sleep on the couch. HeHas traits of a narcissist. At this point There is nothing left for me to do but pray. I had suffered from depressionBecause of it. But now thanks to my heavenly fatherI can handle it better mentally.
I just signed today. Same thing. I’ve been holding on to every last bit, praying, I have so many praying for me, and it is still happening. I trust that the Lord can heal, restore and rebuild us in his time and in his ways. Please keep my husband , children, and I In prayer.
I’m now facing divorce. I hurt my wife, she turned around and looked elsewhere for comfort. Then at the beginning of the pandemic everything surfaced and we separated. We are coming up on two years. She stopped seeing the person she was distracting herself with almost immediately and I trust in her transparency. We haven’t moved on, but we’ve been in a season of not moving forward and not doing anything but she is slowly canceling accounts, changing passwords and moving on focusing entirely on work. She’s afraid of divorce and finale decisions and seems to be taking care of small things as a way to control things. But it is not making things better. She’s asked for the third time to sell the house that I’m living in and wants to file for divorce for a clean break for her to heal. I say the third time buts it’s been many more, it’s just the third time actions have been taken and then decided against. We are believers, but she is angry with God for “allowing” hurt to happen and I believe it’s not over but am just left waiting with the Holy Spirit for her to come to Christ. I don’t know what to do other than focus of Jesus, wait and trust I’ll be comforted, provided for and that God will be glorified in this. I miss my best friend with all my heart, wish I wouldn’t have done what I did, but trust that beauty will be made in this pain. I just pray for her forgiveness and for her heart to know the Agape love of God. Prayers appreciated.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Our team will be lifting you up in prayer. Additionally, please feel free to check out xomarriage.com under "marriage help". We are here for you!
I hope things get better. God didn't allow this to happen. He has given us free will. She needs to take accountability for her actions and decide to fight for the marriage. It is fixable but it requires responsibility.
Abandonment is the worst nightmare any married person could possibly feel. After 14yrs of marriage, I discovered my wife’s affairs. She left home last July and never came back. She ignored me for a good while and began treating me like a stranger. I almost ended my life due to the feeling of being left alone, but glory to God and His Son Jesus Christ, I’m still standing. My wife refuses to sign the divorce papers and no intentions on reconciling. This podcast was very helpful in helping me become a better person.
My husband left me for another woman 3 years ago, with a heart that turned to cold towards me and God.....hatred in fact.....I have held onto the fact that I knew God had put us together. Just recently I can see a softness coming back into my husband (ex husband by the world's standard's)..... trusting God with the journey.....God had to do so much in me to grow me into a healthier person and to take my husband down as my idol.
I got to tell you guys I absolutely love your story it's a big inspiration and the song at the end with both of you I listen to quite frequently God bless
My husband and I were both divorced. Neither one of us thought we could love again. God brought us together 2 1/2 years ago. We were married in 2020, peak of Covid season. God took 2 broken lives and made them as one. The song Danny Gokey wrote, "Tell Your Heart to Beat Again" sums up our story. So thankful for a new beginning! We hope to encourage others with out story.
Hello. I'm curious about something that Chris Teague mentioned. He concluded that isolationism or not being engaged in a community, then you can go in the wrong direction. (I think) I'm curious as to how and accurate that statement really is? It's because I've never been genuinely associated with a church community. While I have hanged out with a church group, the relationship was more of an acquaintance level. And more of what we did was hang out. I'm almost 25 years old and I still live with my mom while severely lacking direction for my own life.
At your age, your circle of friends can have a big influence on you. Go to church with your church friends. Or find a church with a singles ministry. Church is a better place to find your future spouse than a bar or online.
@@brucecollom8947 So what you're saying is not having a social circle at all is more than unhealthy for a person? Also, I've been tried alcohol nor go to night clubs. Nor have I had even one date before.
I can relate, my spouse has let the enemy in and break our family apart. Been married over 30 years! Going through a very difficult divorce now. I am keeping my eyes on Jesus❣️. Don’t need a man to make me happy, I will not be able to trust another man again.
It’s sad when you say you don’t need a man to make you happy because your spouse is with someone else and want you to get with another man and you say that and he twists your words and says you said you don’t need him. The devil is a lier. Praise Jesus He is now my life my husband my everything.
This is great for this couple. But it doesn't bring me hope, ex is married to someone else now. But very happy for this couple getting back together. It's forgive and move on. I'm happy where I am.
they were just at my church this past weekend....great music. However, I wish his testimony about his journey back to her was a little less spiritual and more core. Those non Christians watching this will most likely be turned off by his Christian "ease" way of talking. Glad it worked out, but the fact is , he went through hell, put her through hell and a little more authenticity in his telling it would go a long way with non believers.
I am considering separating from my husband (non believer). I found Christ again after a few years of marriage and it’s definitely put a strain on the marriage. It’s difficult to not be able to talk to your spouse about Christ or anything faith based. It’s a lonely place. We’ve been married almost 10 years.
Hello sister in Christ, I just want to say that I know how you feel because I'm living the same life. But I'd like to encourage you to rather trust God with your husband and focus on how you can minister to him so that he can meet Christ through you. You might be the only one who can do that for Him, ask God for wisdom. Separation is not always the answer and often times lead to divorce. In this season of your marriage, let God supply all your needs according to His riches in glory and surround yourself with other Christians who can support you during this period. He is faithful
My husband has hurt me with infidelity. He had a secret life with his married coworker. It has been almost 3 years since the discovery day ( on Day One of a family vacation.)
I am going through a similar situation. I found out my husband has been having a an affair with a married coworker since atleast when I gave birth to our first son (who we prayed over having after having had a miscarriage). It's absolutely heart breaking.

My wife has said the same thing "not being enough"...what do you mean by that?
Praying that God restores your marriage
