Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story.

Download or read book Born Again Marriages written by Carlos a Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-19 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you feel alone and trapped, like a prisoner in a loveless marriage, this may be the most important book you ever read. Here's why: My name is Carlos Hernandez and I was on the brink of divorce five years ago. My wife and I tried traditional counseling several times, but it didn't work. We felt like total failures because because we did everything the counselor told us, but it was hopeless. We did find out that we were both withholding love from each other in our own ways. My wife felt rejected because I treated her like she didn't even exist. I felt that she always reminded me when I did something wrong, but never acknowledged when I did something right. Counseling was expensive and ineffective. Divorce was the next logical step, but then God stepped into our marriage in a big way. Through a series of unexpected events, and lots of hard work, we slowly experienced healing in our marriage. It took lots of time and effort, but we intentionally made small changes that helped us fall in love again. I never thought I could love my wife again. We'd been through so much pain, so I thought our marriage was totally hopeless. We learned that nothing is impossible with God. Through the healing process, He revealed a miracle process for bringing freedom to marriages filled with pain and suffering. This book documents our journey. We understand if you are feeling rejected, trapped in an unfair commitment, unloved, lonely, and unappreciated in your marriage because we've been there. We spent five years in marriage hell. The good news is that God has used our mess to deliver an important message to you. There is hope for your marriage! In this book, you'll learn how to... Get the affection you need from your spouse without begging for it. Bring back the passion and love you experienced in the "honeymoon phase" of your relationship. Stop the constant fighting without ignoring the things about your spouse that drive you insane. Restore your marriage even if your spouse doesn't seem interested in you. Find out exactly what God says about your marriage without spending hours studying the Bible. Forgive your spouse any disrespectful things they've done without losing your dignity. Create positive change in your marriage without changing your spouse. The process of repairing our marriage was long and hard because we didn't have a guide. In our experience, marriage counseling is both expensive and ineffective. I'm sure there are some excellent marriage counselors that can get results, but the majority are glorified listeners. Yes, having someone listen to your problems is valuable, but it will not help repair your marriage. The alternative is finding a qualified pastor who can help you. The problem is that most of the pastors who are qualified to help are very busy running the church. The available pastors are usually very young and inexperienced. We've found that the church has the intentions to help, but they don't have the resources. We noticed this gap. Christian couples desperately want help, but they can't find the help they need. We've decided to stand in the gap and tell our story with the hopes it will help christian couples repair their marriage. This book could be the start of a new beginning for your marriage. Why not take a gamble on your future?
