Marelize…sorry to hear you are struggling in your marriage….for me as a married person, i have learned the only way i can be happily married is wanting to see my wife happy. whatever that takes in the capacity i can through my relationship with jesus, i then become happy in her happiness. this may sound like some pie in the sky formula but for me it works. i find my happiness in jesus and his presence in my life as i serve others including my wife based on his words in matthew 20.26 to 28. you can log onto knowingjesuspersonally.com or click talk to a mentor above to begin this freedom living lifestyle today. praying you are blessed as you do!
