If your prayers haven't been answered, it doesn't mean they won't be answered. In fact, they may have already been answered, but just not in the way you wanted or expected them to be.

I know several couples who experienced adultery in their marriages, but because in each case there was a wife who was willing to pray and a husband open to allowing God to change and restore him, the marriages are still intact and successful today. Only prayer, a submitted heart, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit can work those kinds of miracles.

People's love for us may change, depending on what we do or don't do to please them. But God's does not-it's everlasting.

One of the greatest gifts you can give your husband is your own wholeness.

Praying is not telling God what to do. It's trusting that God knows what to do.

Integrity is not what you APPEAR to be when all eyes are on you. It is who you ARE when no one is looking.

Forgiveness isn't always a one-time thing. There are layers of it that need to be recognized in any situation -especially in a marriage. Sometimes we think we have forgiven, but we don't realize how many layers there are. And if we don't deal with each layer, hardness of heart can set in and build up to monumental proportions.
