How many broken, sad, dramatic stories have you heard this week, this month, this year? Where hearts are broken and families torn apart? Maybe you’re even in a similar situation.
This is why I want to share as many of these transformations as possible. Here’s where Steve began…
“I felt like I was looking down a long dark tunnel and there was no light at the end. Divorce wasn’t an option. But I was feeling hopeless it could ever be different.”
Sadly, this is not the first time I’ve heard a husband describe his marriage that way. He is committed to Jesus. He loves his family. He wants his kids to grow up in a Godly home, with joy and laughter. And he wants them to see what a wonderful marriage can look like.
But instead, his wife is cold. Stand off-ish. Sex is just a scheduled thing that happens because it’s on the (very bottom of) her checklist. A lot of frustration and tension was in their home.
One thing you’ll find out about Steve is he’s not one to sit idly by letting the marriage disintegrate. This is why when he was searching for podcasts on intimacy, he stumbled on DYM and became an avid listener.
Well, I am happy to say that after 3 months of, only him doing the work, in fact, she didn’t know! He said she had no interest in changing, working on the relationship or certainly not discussing sex… but God has done some awesome things!
I want you to listen today because it’s when we hear stories that God puts hope in us to a greater degree (I think) than just direct teaching. It’s really through stories that we hear someone’s heart and we hear what God has done in them and in their marriages.
If you’re struggling… I want you to resist the temptation towards jealousy. And instead rejoice that God is still changing hearts, lives, and marriages! (Even if only 1 does the work!) Steve can give you great evidence that it’s worth it even on this side of heaven.

A recent grad wrote,
“DYM has changed me and my marriage, I hope it will be a forever change, but that will depend on me continuing to be the man God has asked me to be.
My wife is responding to me in ways that she has never responded, her love and affection are at all time highs and our intimacy is at a place I have always hoped it would be. I have more energy, focus, and life to give the people around me.
