We want to share an inspiring story about Karl, a widower who experienced profound loss when his first wife passed away in 2020. Since then, he’s rebuilt his life with a new marriage to his lovely wife Rachel and a vibrant blended family of six children. 

At first, their new life together seemed to be falling into place beautifully, but just nine months into their marriage, an unexpected challenge arose. Due to circumstances beyond their control, pornography was inadvertently introduced into their home through one of their children’s devices. This incident outside of their control ignited a series of conflicts, tension and bitterness.  

As a pastor, he realized if he lost his marriage, everything, every thing in his life was at stake.

Through a series of unusual events, Karl learned of the success of Delight Your Marriage and decided to give it a try and fight for his marriage.  He took our free Clarity Call and described it as a “breath of fresh air” that gave true clarity. He was able to see how not only the past few months had affected his marriage but how things from his previous marriage and the loss from 2020 were also affecting him even now. 

He committed to the men’s program, and the transformation was remarkable. Through the tools and guidance he received, he learned to communicate more effectively and approach his relationship with a renewed sense of empathy and understanding. As Karl’s approach to their marriage shifted, Rachel’s heart began to soften. This newfound healing was put to the test when their luggage, including passports, thousands in cash, work laptop, and IDs, was stolen right before their trip to Rachel’s home country. 

He said this (and this is what we want for you) they leaned into each other and God during crisis, rather than being torn apart. When they used to have massive discord on something as simple as a family routine, now they have connection and healing amidst what could be described as a significant disappointment. 

What they’ve discovered through it all… they have both said: “I have my best friend back.” 

 

Be encouraged by God’s miracle working power, which He can do for you too!

PPS – Here a quote from a (different) recent graduate:
“I had quite a few struggles when starting the program…we were arguing quite a lot, I was defensive in my responses and even blamed [her] for the issues. I also hadn’t been intentional in terms of dating or cherishing her for a long time and she was feeling neglected and getting more and more upset about the situation… I can see now that I had been both aloof and independent towards my wife…but also very dependent on her mood and feelings/actions towards me. I feel more secure now in who I am, I don’t get defensive much at all any more and we rarely argue… It’s been a huge change for the better.”
