I run across different situations where I am not sure what to say. I am aware of situations where one spouse or the other refuses to work on the marriage. Sometimes that spouse files for divorce, sometimes the other one does.

I don’t know what to say to the spouse who really wants to save the marriage. How do I give them hope when it appears hopeless? I don’t know what to say to the spouse who is unwilling to work on their marriage. When do I contact them; what do I say if I do?

What I can testify is that even though our marriage went through a season when Sharon refused to work on our marriage, I am thankful she did not file for divorce. I am thankful that I refused to sign a dissolution and I’m thankful I refused to quit trying to save our marriage. We do have a better marriage today than ever before. Jesus does make all things new. Nothing is impossible with God.
