We focus so much on how God should change our spouses but he works on US first. He will draw them in with love and kindness.

I need prayer in this regard. I am really struggling in this area. My husband is unsaved and the atmosphere at times is so heavy. Please pray for me.

Most important thing to me is when u let God soften your heart so we can give our spouse some grace so that we both can grow

I was unequally yoked in a relationship with a Christian woman, but it helped me come to the Lord so sometimes it’s good

Thank you for this video and testimony. We have so many “voices” giving reasons for couples to go separate ways… declaring one another as “narcissists, unequal, etc…,” it’s time we establish what RESTORATION looks and feels like. Not many preachers or teachers cover the part about how “one spouse sanctifies the other”. I believe this is a disservice to the family of God. Thank you for sharing!!

Just broke up with my ex boyfriend cuz he didn’t want a relationship without sex (he’s an unbeliever and he doesn’t understand the meaning of resaving ourselves before marriage). It still hurts and I even doubt myself for making the right decision… Came across to this video accidentally and thank God for your testimony. Your testimony shows that God sees our hearts that want to live a holy and righteous life. I am leaving this comment not only to thank you but also hoping that I will come back one day with my own testimony!

I was saved last year. My husband and I have two young kids (2&5yrs) and my heart breaks and aches too. My husband looks for fun outside of our marriage and I feel like I lost my best friend. Thanks for sharing and reminding me prayer works and Jesus will restore my marriage when the time is right. ❤ God bless your marriage and family in Jesus name ❤

The part of the message that spoke to me the most was about not wanting your friend to wake up one day in hell. And I felt that so deeply. Because I'm at a place where if Lord forbid we were to separate I want him to have relationship with God that would eventually lead to salvation. I love him so deeply and want the best for him even if it doesn't include me but included God. It's frustrating to constantly hear from the Christian space to abandon the person you are with who isn't saved ( He has a concept of God but he doesn't practice faith and worship). Especially when they've supported you and encouraged your personal faith journey and you see God using him to develop you, and using your prayers to move and develop him....And you can feel God working in him even if he can't understand it. It is honestly so hurtful to feel condemned by the community that should lift you up when you have a deep genuine connection with someone and have hope for your future with them. I will continue to pray for him to have a relationship with God, as I myself will grow in my own relationship with God. And whether we survive or not is all in God's hands. But I will trust for the miracle of his salvation and our relationship. If you or anyone is willing, please pray for our union (Shannon and Marlon) and our relationship with God separately and together, and for me to never grow weary of praying for him and to hold tightly to love and hope. For where there is love, hope, and faith good things are bound to happen. I thank you all immensely and may God continue to bless anyone who reads this.

Don’t get married to someone you are unequally yoked to. God knows what’s right for you. Stop following your heart but what God says. Take it from me who had lots of heartbreaks with my husband. It’s not worth it!! Don’t get blinded by the honeymoon phase. Pray for your partner and when that person comes along ask them where they stand in Christ. Then you would know if God has sent you that person. Stop trying to fix people and say, “oh I’ll just evangelize to him.” What if he/she doesn’t change? Now if it’s too late pray and fast. Plant some seeds in them and let God water that seed.

i needed this!!! i’ve been growing weary in my marriage but this is so encouraging to hear that you pushed and remained yielded to the Holy Spirit and He saved your husband!!! i have such a similar testimony, lived with my boyfriend, he’s my best friend and when i got saved he wanted to get married. went from atheist to believing after my transformation but after getting married the enemy came in strongly and he’s been going out with friends, treating me poorly, partying, etc. I pray and anoint everything when he’s at work/out. this gives me SO much hope! i decree freedom over my husband in Jesus name!!

I believe my sister waited 10 years... Now He is a prayer warrior with her.

Wow your story is SOOOOO similar to my own. My husband and I were in a relationship outside of marriage for 9 years. I grew up in the church and always felt condemned and nasty for the lifestyle I lived with him. About a year ago I fully rededicated my life to Christ and that day something came over me that gave me tremendous strength. Right after this happened I sat my boyfriend down and told him that I am not longer going to participate in this lifestyle. We had spoke many times about marriage but there was never action behind it. I told him I was planning on moving back home with our two children and until we were able to make the move I was no longer going to give myself to him in any sexual way. We got married 3 months after that conversation. I am continuing to walk with the Lord but my husband still loves the world. I’ve already had thoughts that this would end in divorce. Your story gives me hope for him because this is hard. Please pray for us. God bless!!

I'm so glad that you didn't throw in the towel like me. Different circumstances but nevertheless.. I wish I had fought harder. But my situation was that he had already left but coming home. Finally he wanted out. So my hat goes off to you for fighting for him... Fighting for your marriage. So proud of you. God bless y'all. You can work thru anything with God backing you...

Good night wow 😢😢I was going to give up on my marriage, for over 1 years my marriage has been struggling, I have been watching videos on KZfaq about marriages never come across your video until today. This video really give me more hope. Am going through the same thing in my marriage right now.

Don't put GOD on a timeline...HE has HIS PERFECT TIMING 🥰

Wow I needed to hear this. I’ve been praying for my husband for 10 years and he’s still not saved YET but I’m believing in him and working on myself. I appreciate all the ways you talked about showing love to your husband because I need some samples lol thank you and please keep us in prayer. His name is Jose

I’m in her space right now and it is not easy, my heart aches daily, the Lord gives me strength but man, IT IS NOT EASY!! I’m cried out. Just waiting for my breakthrough. It’s hard to love unconditionally when being neglected.

Now this was a tremendous blessing to hear! I'm going on almost two years with my husband who gave his life to Christ, was baptized in Jesus name before we got engaged/married but never followed through and as a result we are now unequally yoked. One thing that stood out and touched my heart was when you said that God told you he was going to change you first to be right for your husband. The Lord had said the same thing to me and I was taken back by it and thought "maybe I heard this wrong". My journey is filled with much heartache and pain BUT I'm learning to completely surrender to the Holy Spirit and trust God at His word.

We overcome the adversary by the blood of the Lamb and the power of our testimonies (revelation 12) so I love and appreciate hearing how someone walked through different seasons with God 💚 thanks!

Thank you!! Love this! Can you please pray for me to get closer to the Lord and for my significant other (Matt erickson) I’ve been praying for his heart to be softened and for him to receive God in his life instead of just reading self help books. I have placed him in Gods hands and believe Gods ways are higher than my ways but I still love Matt and even if we don’t get married I still want him to be saved because I love him. ❤️ beautiful story! ❤️

Godly wives are so beautiful? It really is HARD TO live with a husband who doesn't believe, lives 2 different lives, cheated, lies, I'm tired, but ill keep trying. Pray for me.

Although I am seeing this 2 years later, this has truly blessed me tonight. I am a 24 year old woman with 2 children…one is by my partner who I never ever saw myself being in a relationship with but we were good GENUINE friends in highschool. His faith is very much different then mine. There’s concept like husband said in this video, but no relationship. I am a praying woman and I know and have experienced the power of it and God himself multiple times. I will continue to pray for my partner no matter what as his soul belongs to God. It’s easy for us to want our partners to change and be “like us” yet God wants us all to be like him :) bringing holiness to a marriage looks a lot like what wifey did for this marriage. TOTAL surrender regardless of the situation. To allow true purification and cleansing of what does not belong so that it can be done the right way which 9/10 takes sacrifices to be made. I’m gonna check out the rest of y’all videos! I loved this one. ❤️

Wow! I really needed to hear this. This here is the confirmation in what I have been praying. Thank you for sharing your testimony. God bless.

Thank you for the hope!! I been praying for 8 years. So hard!!

This channel is a hidden gem 💎

I am currently experiencing this. I’ve been with my husband 10 years. I got close to God after we were married. He believes but doesn’t live the life. He likes to party and drink and smoke. We have grown so far apart because I’m not fun anymore in his mind. I’ve contemplated divorce more times than I can say. I’ve prayed for him for years and I’m tired. I’m 45 years old and I feel my walk with God gets effected. It’s so hard to know what to do.

Also thank you for sharing how you approached him from a humble and earnest perspective. And your experience in general. Not many persons share this outcome as many bash it as encouragement. When realistically no one needs encouragement to go down a path they genuinely want to go. It's important to see spiritual representation and not just condemnation when the God we are modelled after wants us to love each other.

Thanks for sharing this blessed testimony 🙏🏻. To God be the GLORY for His faithfulness in your marriage and family life. Continue to walk upright in Christ...He will never leave nor forsake His people. God bless.

So beautiful! I needed to see this. ♥️

Wow, I so enjoyed this. Just inspired me so much. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Powerful testimonyy i really needed this. God truly used you both mightily for His glory

Awesome video. Alot of people needed to here this. Good marriages never happened because of the lack of knowledge and faith.

Thank you so much for such an on time word!!🙏

God is good. I’m glad God stepped in and worked through your marriage. To God be the glory

Beautiful testimony this encouraged me to keep praying and have faith that he will be saved

Thank you soooo much for your testimony! I really needed to hear this

Thank you both for the help . I'm grateful

Thank you guys! So encouraging

I really enjoyed your video but it would be interesting to hear more about what the husband was thinking during the time of him not being submitted to Christ. What are things he would advise wives not to do while a husband isn’t saved. Also, what should they be doing maybe that really touched his heart and broke through to the stony heart. I think this would be a good follow up video. Thank you for your transparency! God bless you both!

God bless your union! 🙏🏽❤️

🕊You Guys are beautiful God Bless y’all 🤍❤️

I love your testimony!!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful story! You give so many people hope & the strength to persevere. I wanted my ex and I to go to church together but it never happened but that wasn’t God’s plan for us. Our relationship was very abusive. His gf now he goes to church with & I can’t lie it kinda made me sad at first that he never went with me but that was just my emotions talking. I’m happy that he’s there & going with both his gf & our daughter. I pray that God will heal his heart from all the things he’s been through & he will be saved & sanctified.

I've found what I was looking for... God bless you... I'm gonna work on myself and I know God will help me work on him too.

Cousin, you and I were more alike before your marriage than I ever could have thought. But in our family it is nothing surprising. I am so proud of you and your beautiful wife. Kisses and hugs from Virginia.

❤❤❤ i loved this!

This blessed me !!!

This is definitely an eye opener for me

They are the exception not the rule! I blocked a man that I met 16 years ago. We were only talking on the phone and I was falling for him. He is a NEW AGE believer. We kept arguing about spirituality and sex. I did not have sex with him before or before marriage my now ex-husband. I had to let him go to keep GOD first. The delay for soooo many people is because people are living like they are married; so this discourages especially the carnal and Leviathan & JEzebel spirits that HATE marriage. BREAK soul ties; gods word is gods word. Serving God does not always feel good; we have to make sacrafices.

I always pray for a husband that is already Saved cause to have one that is not it's hard to get them there but I am friends with a guy who is not a Christian but use to go church know about God plus his mom is a Christian but he is still not ready to be a Christian. Besides that is a very sweet person and he does not disrespect me and my boundaries as Christian so am praying for him as well cause he has all the marriage materials a woman would want.

Thank you so much for sharing. I am currently in a relationship with someone who I love deeply but who is not a Christian. He is a great guy and is open to learning more about God. He has never had any experiences with God or church until he met me. I stepped out of God's umbrella and I am 5 months pregnant with his child. We have been together for almost 3 years and I have been considering marriage. I have been praying and watching videos like this. Its a testimony of hope. Thank YOU for sharing❤❤

This is a beautiful testimony! I often feel like I am stuck in the place where I am impatient, and my flesh flares up when I hear Him say, I have to be kind, compassionate, and loving even when my husband is not. I constantly recall the suffering Jesus did and I remember that my life to will come with suffering. I admittedly need to fast more and definitely plan to. I have cried many nights, but I need to CRY OUT much more! Thank you for your testimony and your transparency. It provides wisdom and hope! I am in a stage where God is working on me and He is changing me, I have to stop being stubborn, procrastinating, and being lukewarm. Thank you both again!!!

My husband moved out over a week ago. He doesn’t want anything to do with God. We have no kids together. I have one from a previous relationship and he has none. I’m 40 and he’s 33. I pray that my prodigal doesn’t wait too long to surrender to God before I’m no longer able to have kids. Divorce has crossed my mind but at this point not sure what to do. I prefer not to have contact with him so I can be at peace. I have prayed and prayed but nothing. I’m waiting on God for him to tell me my next move even if it’s divorce

In it. But I have SEEN Gods miracles. I believe and receive his promises

I enjoyed this video a lot ! Lit up me and my ladys heart with hope. He woke up with chicken grease on his forehead like he was going in on those appetizers at the bar 😂 Bless yall 🙏🏽

You all are a cute couple. It's nice to see. Bless you!

This really touched me ..don't really know what to say.

Thank u for this video JESUS JESUS JESUS hallelujah awesome.

Awesome!!

Bahahaha I love the wife's hand gestures and sillyness.ove watching people have a little fun with boring things.

It’s been about 3.5 years for me. My husband was walking with Christ and following him sincerely when we were dating and first married but shortly after his faith changed and it’s been hard. What has been most difficult is that while we were dating and engage we both yearned to be one in all aspects and would often speak with excitement about what our lives as on would look like but now it feels like the complete opposite. I feel like my husband is pushing away from oneness in every aspect and all of the desires I had leading up to being married have been shattered. I’m trying to push though and trust Gods plan but it is hard.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I've been blessed. You've brought hope to many in a similar situation. God is good 🙌 May God continue to bless your union, and beautify your home (and mine) in Jesus name. Amen! 🙏💖

Great testimony

i was preaching the gospel to a young woman, kind of like the woman at the well. i find out she is homeless and living in her car, i make it clear im not trying to get in a relationship and she does too, by coincidence we run into eachother again. i fell in love with this girl but due to my pride i said some very mean things a christian should never say. i am so in love with her that i went to church for the first time in 2 years since covid. i been praying for her, i want her to go to church with me i want her to be my girlfriend and i believe that she is the one. i trust in the Lord and i believe he can change her like he changd me but i want to love her for who she is. can you pray for her, her name is Kenia. i dont want to lose hope on this girl i want to see her go to heaven we havent even kissed or really touched but i am so deeply in love and have compassion for her.

Muslims have not only signed up to christian dating but they have fallen for me and desire me and have strong feelings for me so am in difficult situation.

Most stories I see.. it is the man who is an unbeliever. I am the believer in our relationship and I cannot find resources for the most part

Loved your story.! 😂 @ wife cooked and husband asked her to taste it first.

Sobbing

I used to be Catholic but now Christian. I thank God for calling me to salvation. I am grateful everyday and have a different perspective about life. Now i know our purpose in life is to give glory to God. My husband is still Catholic, i have been inviting him to church but always refused. I have been praying earnestly for him. But I know and have faith that he will have the gift of salvation in God’s time. Even if it will take a long time, i will be patiently waiting.

The only man that ever loved me The only man that understand my pain,that only man that has sacrifice a lot for me,the only shoulder i lean on More than a friend,a perfect man I could ever prayed for. Promise that he was going to be converted to a christian but after marriage 2yrs to the drain,he is still as loving and understanding yet says he hasn't understand anything about Christianity that he is going back to Moslem. My heart is broken.. He says i will raise children in a christian way. But am betrayed.

Pray for me i love my ex but i love God more and he’s willing to change because the love he have for me to follow Jesus and i need Help

Unequally yoked is not talking about marriage. It’s talking about idolatry

I'm currently going through this right now like I love this man but I have gotten save but He is not. He understands when I say no sexual stuff. But it's like the music he listen to vs my gospel it makes him sleepy. He believes in Jesus but he just doesn't have a relationship with the Lord. And when I go around him I start doing stuff that is not of God and God knows I hate it I do. I just don't be wanting him to think I'm judging him.😭I had a vision that He would be my husband but I rebuke it because I was like no God he is not right. But idk what to do.

I need prayer please my partner whom is the most loving kind soul I’ve ever been with says he will never believe in god or go to church ! I have had another awakening and I do not want to live in sin so I am Devoting my heart to god again and I no longer want to sin and have relations unwed ! But I I read that you shouldn’t be with a non believer ? I already told him I love god and am recommitting myself to the lord ! So I told him and he said I won’t change ever ! So it hurt my heart and I said I just don’t think I can be with you anymore if you can’t believe ! I’m heartbroken because all my ex’s were toxic and Abusive and cheated on me ! And I finally have a healthy partner that treats me amazing and I left him for this unequally yoked Bible verses and now I feel like I lost any chance of having a good man ! I was happy and left him 😭 did I do the right thing??????

Wow my Husband's name is Patrick as well. & I just realized I have a testimony too in that department. Happy I ran across this video it's well needed right now .

Bringing holiness to a marriage? Putting Christ in the center of things!

It’s been over 30 years and me parenting 3 girls alone and I’m tired. Am I wrong for wanting to be done? I can’t stand the hateful way in which he treats me. I want to be done.

I really need help. My wife and I have been married for 14 years been through it all. We just bought our dream home on March 2022. Somewhere before the purchase in February she informed me that she no longer believed in Christianity and now is a member of the Black HebrewIsraelite cult. I really need help because I don't understand we been through everything and now this and I don't want to do the work in a unequally yoked marriage.

Please please pray for my unequally yoked marriage he is an atheist and mutual divorce came up today. He says he will never change and doesn’t want me to resent him. Says we have nothing in common anymore. (Sean Patterson) is his name

Was your husband raised in the church and then drifted away?

The guy i like doesnt go to church or read his bible. You cant try to convert someone only to pray for them.

But sex before marriage is still a sin

I’m the minority opinion but I’m gonna say that most people’s relationships here ought to fail when they are not equally yoked. I think we really underestimate how brutally offensive and a slap in the face to God when a believer decides to yoke with a non believer when knowing better. God is too big on marriage. If I were unequally yoked to a non believer, sure I would justify it, but not as hopefully as people here are, asking for guidance and prayers requests for situations that really should have never happened in the first place had you put God first

The part about living together being unpleasant to the Lord is BIBLICALLY untrue. MANY Christians are taught WRONG what marriage is TO GOD(NOT MAN). Marriage is clearly outlined in Genesis and all GOD requires is leaving your parent's house and dwelling with your spouse and joining bodies (sexual intercourse). NOWHERE does God require that we go to ungodly judges or even (FALSE) Pastors or ANY MAN to get a certificate of marriage. Marriage is between man, woman and GOD, NOBODY ELSE makes it official, godly or relevant. So all the people who run with that false doctrine that shacking up is unpleasing to God, are people who do not study and ask the Holy Spirit for revelation. Paul even spoke to the Corinthians against going to ungodly judges to settle matters between them. So why would a TRUE believer go before ungodly judges to so called officiate their marriage?? Its not SPIRITUALLY correct. God did not appoint man to make marriages official.

Kets remember what the Bible clearly says......to knowingly marry someone who is NOT a believer and you are, IS A SIN!

I AM joyful for You all and sad for Myself and My Family at the same time. I AM currently going through a divorce after 16 years. I must admit, I believe I did My Best! I got weary and sick and I couldn’t do it anymore. I have a 13 and 14 year old Son and a 23 year old daughter and I see how much this situation has affected them. I just want to focus on myself and My Children right now. Sometimes, I still can’t believe this is My Life!? 😢❤️‍🩹🙏🏽
