My marriage separated in Dec 2010. I thought I was dying. a friend gave this book to me in Jan 2011 and I put it to the side and completely forgot about it for 6 wks . I started reading it about 2wks ago and put it aside again for another week because I had trouble accepting my role in this adulterous breakup of my marriage. I did eventually go back to the book and completely read it 3times.
I love all the scripture that not only motivates, cleansed me and given me knowledge. But has given great spiritual growth. In the last week I have stop fighting my husband on all fronts. No lawyer, No child or spousal support and No yelling or accusations. I have learned to be quite. He is testing me all the time and doesn't believe I actually dropped all the cases against him. But already I am sensing a softer person in him as he has in me. It is just a matter of time that we will be recommitted to each other.
I am using this time to grow in the word and continue to build my solid foundation. I must confess I at first didn't think this would work but I now know with the fast changes that I have seen. It is all possible with God. Submit to God's will and let him take the lead.

Laura, RESTORED in Georgia
The RYM book is something I will study the rest of my life — I would recommend it to everybody. The fact that everything is based on and backed up by Scripture makes Restore's restoration program completely trustworthy. It has opened the door to many other areas of my life to be changed. Thank God and RMI for everything!

Nicole, RESTORED in Germany
I have the RYM book, the workbook, the Q & A books and Workers@Home. Each and every resource helped me mightily to see where my place is in the Lord and my family. As a European, I was not brought up to be submissive or even nice. Don't ask me how God uses these resources, but every time I applied the principles explained in the book, believing them to be true and that they honored God, I was always rewarded in a big way for my obedience.
I especially recommend the ‘How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage’ book. It will not only open any woman's heart and eyes who is truly searching, but it will help you to focus on Jesus. That is the whole reason our relationships failed in the first place, because our relationship with Jesus has to be RESTORED first.

Your resources that helped the most were How God Can and Will Heal Your Marriage and the workbook. My heart became forgiving and I sought and hungered for the Word. I constantly read about God and His promises. (Before that, I HATED to read!) Oh, the Allure tape was also very helpful!
This book is a blessing from God this ministry is a blessing from God I am getting closer day by day to my heavenly husband and even though my former husband remarried I still believe that with God all things are possible this ministry and this book has given me hope it has shown me where I was wrong and what I can do only through Christ to change God is good and he’s using this ministry for his glory I highly recommend this book and all of the resources that this ministry has to offer God bless Erin her whole family and everyone who is a part of this ministry the more you get closer to your heavenly husband you don’t focus on the problems but God gives you the strength to get through them and I do believe that God can and will restore any marriage

I recommend How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage. It is truly awesome and very encouraging! I bought the cassette version, also, because I needed to hear the information again and again and again and again, etc.
Lord Jesus, I cannot praise You enough for restoring my marriage. You are truly worthy to be praised! I give You the highest praise -- hallelujah! I worship Lord! I praise Your name!

How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage and the Workbook for Women were the resources that helped me to become obedient (and it was very difficult for me to accept some of the sayings – I rebelled in the beginning!). They have been a continuous support, encouragement and a means of breaking my resistance and disobedience, as they are very clear and demanding. I would recommend both of these resources.

“After reading How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage and Facing Divorce, I ordered every resource you suggested for women, along with additional materials. To date, I have exhausted all of my Hope Cards, tracts and recently gave my sister my copies of How God Can and Will Save Your Marriage and Facing Divorce.
The scriptural references in your materials are unlimited and touched every area that the Lord revealed to me that needed changing!
Your resources gave me HOPE and helped to restore my faith. You let me know that I wasn't crazy; as a matter of fact, now I know that when the world thinks I'm crazy, I can be certain I'm heading in the right direction.
If you are newly separated or heading in that direction, start with How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage, Facing Divorce, then go directly to A Wise Woman. They are where I learned how to change the contentious behavior that marked my life. Then, continue through all the materials offered at Restore Ministries.”

I Read this Book Over and Over Again! This book is awesome! Once I ordered the book after visiting the website, I could not wait to receive it. Once I retrieved the book online I instantly began reading the book. The information was very informative and helpful. I have learned so much from this book. I had already been praying to God for more wisdom and knowledge and this book was the answer. I completed the book in one day because once I began reading the book I just could not stop reading. I learned that I was a contentious wife along with some other things and I learned how to win without a word. I always thought I had to say something to my husband during this trying time, but I now know better and I just thank God for hearing my prayer. The principles in the book really hit home and I realized that I truly needed God to change me and make me over. Yes, I cried and asked God for forgiveness as I read because I was so lost not knowing that I was headed for destruction . I have begun to apply the principles in my life and I have to tell you that I am amazed. God is awesome!!! This book has taught me not to run to my husband or others but to run and cry out to God because he truly is my source. I have learned to lean, trust, and depend on God for everything. I love the fact that every principle in this book is backed up by scripture, therefore I know it is “God breathed and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience and for training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16)”. I would encourage anyone in a marriage crisis to get this book and read it on a constant basis. It has truly been a blessing in my life and a pleasure to read. I read this book over and over again, it is like my go to guide and I make sure that I stay in the will of God. If you don’t have it and you’re wondering whether you should get, don’t hesitate any longer and let the enemy keep you from receiving the knowledge and understanding the God has for you!

Restored With Two Sons! I stumbled across Erin's first book about eight years ago. I had bought about 14 of these books when my husband and I had separated. He was back in Sweden, and I was here in the U.S. It's a long story...
Anyhow, Erin's book completely set things straight in my mind and heart, whereas none of the other books did. You can't imagine how incredibly thankful I am... I have my husband back (18 years) and now we have 2 boys! I will write a testimony sometime this summer...

I Just Didn't Know! This book showed me versus of the bible that I never knew, that I didn't know and how wrong I was in my marriage. It is definitely a mind and eye opener. I had no idea of all the mistakes I had committed in my marriage. This book explains what we go through, how we think, and what we should do to save our marriage. Who would of thought? Erin did and God blessed her and her marriage. Dear Lord, may she continue to help others by writing these books and testimonies of people that have gone through the same dilemma with their marriages. We are not alone and there is definitely hope.

Are You Considering Divorce? Reading this book will open the door to healing for you, your marriage, your family, and anyone whose life is touched by yours. It is mostly Scripture contained in a framework of specific subjects related to a wife's role in marriage.
The first chapter is devoted to crisis management and gives an overview of specific, step-by-step, Biblical principles to apply to your marriage in the midst of the crisis. In only a few minutes, you will have the tools you need to escape the prison of despair, and you will see new hope for your marriage, no matter how far gone it appears to be! Yes, even YOUR marriage can be restored!
The subsequent chapters expand and further illuminate each principle and will help you fine-tune your walk toward the restoration of your marriage.
The most helpful aspect of the book is that the author has lived where you are living right now. She knows the suffocating pain of betrayal, the sleepless nights, the inability to eat, the panic and fear, the tremendous grief felt for the children caught in the midst of marital trauma.
There is no better guide to show you the way out of the valley than one who has walked the path before you and actually made it all the way to the top of the mountain!!!
Don't give up on your marriage just yet--read this book first!
God Can Turn our Circumstances into a Blessing!

In Europe
God Can Turn our Circumstances into a Blessing! This book is an answer to my prayers. Every single chapter is based on the biblical principles supported by verses in the Bible that makes us to go back to the basic principles of the very reason for the marriage institution as God wants it to be.
When I read it I realized the terrible mistakes I have done that caused my marriage to get worse instead of better but I also found new hope because through the experiences of Erin Thiele( the author of this book) I know that God can turn my circumstances into a blessing.
There's so much truth in this book that every married women should know.It teaches us many principles that the modern woman have abandoned i.e.,having a gentle and quiet spirit,using few words,even winning without a word and the power of prayer among a few.
There are also powerful testimonies in the book of Erin and other women who gave all to the Lord and through their brokenness and renewal of the mind the Lord turned their marriages around.
This is really a must for all those who are seeking seriously the will of God for their marriages. The message is the good news, that there is hope!

Nothing is Impossible! Is your marriage hopeless, crumbling, ended in divorce? This exciting book offers Hope for you and your marriage. Two years ago my husband left me for another woman and I thought my life was over. I read every book on relationships and marriage restoration I could get my hands on.
Each time I followed the advice of these other books, things became worse and worse. When I found this book, "How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage", things literally turned around over night.
Every page of this book is crammed with powerful Biblical Scriptures that outline the path to marital restoration and healing. This book will show you the way when others said it was completely hopeless.
I strongly encourage anyone who truly wants to see their family "whole" and their spouse to be "in love" with them once more to read this book. This book saved me from thousands of dollars in counseling, helped me become the spouse my husband always wanted ( and I want to be) , and showed me the way to a beautifully restored marriage. I truly believe it will do even greater things for you and your family. Please remember - Nothing is Impossible!

Thanking God! he way this book was PACKED with scripture to guide me on doing my part to restore my marriage with God was awesome.
I tried to restore things my way and have failed miserably, if not making matters worse. I have a renewed attitude towards my situation. I start each day now thanking God for what He has and will do in my life, as well as asking him to change me into the wife, and woman He wants me to be.
I refer to this book often even after reading it through. I can't wait to be added to the restoration stories, and to also help any other women God sends my way to journey towards their restoration.

I Wish I Had This Book Years Ago! This has been the most powerful resource i have gotten my hands on. I had been struggling in a very dysfunctional marriage for years. i always blamed my husband for his lack of love, coldness, indifference and criticsm. i realized my sins were just as bad, contentious, outburst, jealosy, anger, resentment and most of all bitterness. Had I known all of this before, I would have learned how to be a submissive wife, lovable, kind, meek, humble I would not be in this situation right now. I have asked god to forgive me as I have my husband, now i am in a long journey of restoration. Many times I have felt like giving up. But his book has given me the strength to push forward and believe that God can and will restore my marriage, I believe that soon enough I will also be in your book of testimonies giving God thanks, the honor, the glory of what He has done for my marriage. Amen!

Very Powerful and Encouraging! Thank you so much partners, for providing the books free. I had actually seen and ordered the first book from Amazon, so I had a paperback and then had trouble finding the website. I found the website on Friday.
The testimonies from the second book are very powerful and encouraging. I have been under extreme attack from Satan with regard to my marriage and with regard to the weekend since I found this website.

In Florida
This book is awesome! Everything that I have looked on the internet is very discouraging. Most searches have to do with boyfriend breakups and relationships that are five years or less. Mine is 31 years! And they all say the same thing. Get over it. However, that is not God's word. Not for me. Not for you. I feel, no, I know that when my marriage is restored, I will be the wife that not only my husband wants me to be, but the wife that God expects me to be. And it is all because God steered me towards this book and ministry. I'm excited and looking forward to the restoration of marriage. Using the principles of this book, as well as scripture, I no longer am looking forward to putting my marriage back together and getting back to where we used to be. I am looking forward to a new and reborn marriage! Once that will be a marriage that God intended. This book is worth every single penny (and then some). The fact that it is based on scripture and not just someone's opinion is what won me over. If God is for us, who can be against us. No one that's who! Thank-you Jesus.

This book is a God send. I've reviewed other restore marriage materials on the websites, but this one is word based and not only answers questions that I've asked, but it answers it based on God word. This book if you're really seeking to know what to do is better than someone putting a million dollars in your hand. I would recommend this book to persons that are engaged to be married so that they will know what not to do to destory a marraige.

In New York
Thank you! I went to your website last week because I had come to a point in my life that there was a reason for my marriage not being restored even though I thought I was doing the right thing. After receiving this book, not only have I had to repent almost every chapter, but especially Chapter No. 7. I've had to read and re-read that Chapter and really see the error or my ways. This book, which is backed up by the word of God is worth a million dollars to me. Not only has it helped me to see the error of my ways, it speaks to what I did wrong and am doing wrong and gives the scripture referenced to back it up. Most resources that I had sought out only told me to read and pray the word, which I did, but this book has given me, the why's, why not's, when and what's. My only regret is that I did not have this book before I got married. I believe this book and following the principals of God's word would have better prepared me to the be the God kind of wife and I would not have ended up with the heartaches that I have and caused. This book is a Godsend.

This Book Really Opened my Eyes. I never thought I could be so wrong about what I was doing to try and get my husband back. This book has really opened my eyes to a lot of things that I was doing that was out of the will of God. It sent about a mighty conviction over me. I know now that my doing is not God's doing and I have to let His will be done. I really recommend that you read this book. I'm starting over to read it again just in case I missed something.

Yvonne in Florida
Wow this book has opened my eyes of what i was doin wrong! I have been blaming my husband and now I blame no one but myself & satan. I was such a bad wife: Hmm just to name a few of the many - I could probably write a novel, I felt as though every single page I was blaming myself. I Learned I was Contentious,had pride, slander, gossip, investigating, snooping, blaming, threatening, taking for granted, tearing "down my house with my own hands", doing things my way rather than taking them to God for Him to sort out or help me, not being as submissive as I should or supportive, complaining, nagging.. Also I learned a lot of Gods truth. This book has been a gateway to my relationship with God (first time I've had one!). It has helped me know Gods will, and seek to know more about God. It has shown me that I have myself to blame, not my husband & that this isn't about him but my relationship with God & this spiritual battle we r facing. I learned ways to pray with scripture & in general! This book is amazing!

Been Re-Energized! I am now ready to focus on my First Love, God, more. I have realized so much by reading it. First, I learned that I was so wrong in my marriage and I have a lot that I need to fix with God's help. Second, I have learned that if I change my life and become more dedicated to God then He will see to it that my marriage is restored. Third, I have learned more about being a Godly woman so I can be a Godly wife in a Godly marriage. And lastly, I have learned how to react to many different things in my life so that WHEN my husband returns home we will worship God together and have a great marriage. I have been so interested in the book it was hard to put it down. I have been sharing some of the messages with other ladies with the same type of problems also.

Carol* in United States
This is Exactly What I Needed! When my husband and I first separated i made every mistake pointed out in the book. I listened to family, friends, pastors all who lead me down the wrong path. Until this day I am still being asked to give up. I one day happened upon rejoice ministries and found hope. I started praying and standing for my marriage, but continued to make the mistakes outlined in the book. I was looking for answers from everyone but God. In May of this year I started letting go to let God but things were not happening quick enough but I did see things changing and I would take it pack and try to rush things and it all came to a halt. I am now submitting 100% to Gods instruction. I find myself asking a question and searching the bible for the answer instead of calling a friend, pastor or relative. I am spending more time praying and reading the word even if sometimes I don't understand. Reading this book has just reconfirmed to me what God has been trying t o tell me all along. God led me to the FB page where i could speak without anyone thinking I am crazy, and from that page someone was kind enough to reach out and send me this book which in turn confirmed to me that I am not crazy and that God has called me to stand for my marriage regardless of how bad things may seem. This book confirmed that if I remain obedient and follow his ways, I will receive what I have asked for in prayer. This is exactly what I needed on this day. Thank you!

This Book Totally Change and Encouraged Me. I wish I knew what I learned from this book back then. I was reading about me and instead of looking at my husbands sin, I saw the wrong things I have done but happy that I got a lot out of this book and excited to change for the better. I didn't know the term tithing and when I submitted my story about my failed marriage, I felt bad that I received an emailed rejecting me but I have no regrets purchasing 3 books from you and I will continue to recommend this site to others. God bless!

Thank God that I was Led to This Wonderful Ministry. This book has been an absolute blessing to me during this time in my marriage. I have learned so much about God's Will and His promises for marriage, and I now have a renewed hope.

I have read it twice so, and will be reading it many more times. It has been a comfort and blessing to me these past few days!

Sabrina in Texas
This Book Totally Change and Encouraged Me. I had moved from Brazil to the USA to start a "new life" after my divorce. As I was praying for another man and a "new" marriage I sensed that Lord was not pleased with my request. I started to pray for the Lord to show me what He wanted for my life and which prayer goals I should have for this "new season" of my life. For my surprise He woke me up in the middle of the night saying I could not pretend everything was ok just because nobody knew my story: He knew everything and I needed to repent from my sins and pray for the restoration of my marriage. I did not feel anything for my husband anymore, but when I opened my heart for the restoration and confessed God guided me on the internet as I was seeking for the many questions I had such as "Could I remarry, Should I dream with restoration even after getting divorced" "Should I keep calling him" and many others...This book has been a tool from God to guide me through this journey. I have no idea how long it may still take, but I know I am on the right path, and I always need to get back to the book and check the bible verses. Then I read my bible and the Lord strengthens me.

Stephanie in Tennessee
Although I know it's hard for me to admit that my separation is for a reason. I'm starting to really believe that it is. My relationship with the Lord is growing stronger every day, I still struggle and have days where I battle fear, sadness, anger, frustrations etc. but through this book I have learned to run to the Lord with these emotions. I feel I'm becoming a better person and mom every day and I'm trusting God for His timing.
This book is a wonderful encouraging boom of truth! Read and reread to gain the strength, courage and wisdom. With God all things are possible and this book will help you during this trial to stay focused, fresh and ready.

Julie in Texas
In just the first chapter I learned several things. I learned God has allowed all of this to happen to draw me closer to Him. I have put my husband in place of God in my life and that MUST change. When I first found this ministry I was going the next day just to speak with a lawyer. I was really snooping and investigating everything I could on my husband as well as spending a lot of time talking with others about my situation. Way more time than I was spending talking to God about it. I learned how all that is wrong and very counterproductive. I was pushing my husband away by turning to him too much for problems, trying to convince him to come home, and confronting him about the OW.

Simone from United Kingdom
*Update: Simone RESTORED in United Kingdom.
Wow, this Journey is Going to be Awesome! I am beginning to realize that this journey that I am on to marital restoration has nothing to do with my husband, but all about me. I was so busy praying for justice, and if I didn't see God stand up for me, I would take matters into my own hands to pay back my husband for the pain I was going through. I know now that I left my First Love a long time ago, and this journey is about me returning to my First Husband. I have learned in this chapter that this painful disaster in my life that has been going on non stop for two years is an indication of how lost I am. Just this chapter alone which is just full of the Word, the Word, the Word, has made me see that the lack of breathing in the Word, feeding on the Word, and living by EVERY Word that comes from God, is why I have run into difficulties and made big mistakes not just as a wife but as a mother, daughter, friend, sister, and as a Christian. I am understanding that the Word of God must be such a pat of me, hidden deeply in my heart, that it becomes my first response even when I am hurting bad. I have a surge of desire to be Jesus' new bride. Solely His, until my husband calls us back home to the USA. Just that single choice of letting Jesus be my Husband, and also starting to tithe again, has brought a SUDDEN change literally OVERNIGHT:
I woke up this morning, and from a man who had only cruel words to say to me day in, day out for about four months straight, I received a message from him, where among other things, told me that he is PRAYING WITH ME! For the first time in AGES, he called me, "Sweetheart".
Ohhh and that is not all:
Yesterday while reading the 'Encourager', I resolved to God to return to tithing, but the decision was surrounded with questionings on how I would provide the weekly needs from welfare money especially NOW THAT THEY ARE GOING TO STOP ONE STREAM OF MY MONEY COMING TO ME. I told God my anxiety, and was assured by Him that He will provide ALL of my needs. This morning's 'Encourager', was dealing more specifically with TITHING (in the Testimony section)! My heart said yes Lord. Then I received a letter in the mail from my electric and gas company (I pay for the electricity and the gas heating supply using a prepaid key and a prepaid card), telling me that I have been accepted for 3 monetary gifts to be taken to the store to put on my electric key. M'aan....that will take my electric right through most of the summer!
God was just waiting on the edge of His seat for me to give Him my all, and put Him first, and the floodgates of blessing will burst through, as I saw the beginnings of that happen today!
Wow, this journey is going to be awesome!

I need to put God first and trust Him! It definitely encouraged me to continue standing for my marriage. This chapter reminded me that God is the one in control and that He truly wants what is best for me and my family. He desires that I stay in His Word, follow His leading, pray fervently and allow Him to work a miracle in my marriage. I need to put God first and trust Him!

He just spoke to me. Through this book I have discovered that the crisis in my home was entirely my fault. For the fact that he walked out made me to feel he offended me greatly. A day before I read this book, I was at my wits end, blamed God for not answering my prayers, asked Him in tears why He has decided to punish me despite all I am going through, nothing could console me, until I opened my iPad and saw this, went through it and all my questions were answered, I begged God to forgive me because it dawned on me that He just spoke to me.

Update: Joy RESTORED in Nevada
There is hope! Before I found this book, I thought there was no hope. That I had no choice but to move on and think that there must be someone better out there for me because this one didn't work out. I was in so much pain and I had no peace. But just from the first couple of pages, it said that God can and will restore your marriage! There is hope!
The first time I read the chapter, it gave me hope. But looking back, I think it was because I found that there's a way to restore my marriage, to be with my husband again, that if I do this, God will restore my marriage. It's like I will do this so God will restore my marriage and not because so I can get know God. It was selfish. All I cared about was the restoration of my marriage. I've read that I have to put God first and not my marriage restoration. at first I had trouble understanding it. The same way when I read chapter 1 the first time, I didn't really understand all of it, it's like I'm only understanding parts of it, the parts I wanted to read, the ones that gave me hope.
I have since read this book many times and I have followed what it says. I now know the scriptures and really understand them by heart.
I feel like I have come a long way from when I first started reading this. Now I believe it. I trust it. I know it's true. I have a faith I've never had before in my 30 years of living.
It helped me how to put my trust in God because it says to not to do the things I have been doing-- my ways. I thought I was in the right but I've actually been doing so many things wrong. I've made so many mistakes. I followed the quick reference and that is where I started to feel some peace... I say "some" because at that time I hadn't fully surrendered and trusted everything to God.
I learned that this is a spiritual battle. That I need to really pray. I need to talk to God and confess and repent my sins. I need to stop running and hiding from Him.
I must put God first in my life. At first I wasn't sure how to do it. Now I'm happy to say He is first in my life. And I'm so thankful!

Wow! I learned that my cares and worries should only be addressed with God and I should not share my marriage issues with people. I also learned not to bad mouth my husband to anyone, especially our children. I also learned that I should not snoop and try to find out information about my husband's whereabouts. I shouldn't try to confront the new woman in his life or try to argue with him when I see him.
I want to apply each of the principles. I know it will be difficult as it is something new to me, but I also understand that in order to put my full and complete faith in God to do HIS will I need to let go and let God fight this battle for me.

Faith in Kenya
I have learnt to completely surrender my life to the Lord. I have learnt to relay on Him and to trust that He is doing all things because of His love and His purpose. Roman 8:28.
The first Chapter have given me strong foundation about a godly marriage, Marriage founded upon the Rock; Jesus Christ. I had idolized my husband, everything was centered around Him, I left God and was not entirely my focus, this book has made me remember Jesus Christ- My Husband, My first Love. I have learnt to take everything to my First Love, i have learnt to turn to Him for everything.
I have also learnt that God will restore this marriage and bring my husband back when i totally work in total obedience to Him. I have also learnt to look through the eyes of faith and not in the physical nature.
I have also learnt that all the answers and in the scriptures...all of them. i thought i knew it all, i thought through reading book, not bible will help, i sort many short cut, i wanted to be quickly restored back rather a quick fix, but not anymore, i want God to work on me and heal me completely and restore me at His time. Quick fix is temporary, i will not solve the issues, i would still repeat the same cycle over and over again. I bless the Lord for this ministry.
Now every moment i find myself reading the bible or trying to memorize the scriptures, something I stopped doing along time ago. I find myself being led to praise and worship, I lock myself in the room and pray, I just feel, there is something deep within me that wants to reach out to God and touch Him.
There has been negative talks about me, funny thing is, i prayed for God's grace, i have not gotten upset, i still find myself rejoicing even in the midst of everything. My heart has been at peace. Indeed, the Lord gives peaces not like man does, His peace transcends all human understanding.
I forgave my husband along time ago and even sort his forgiveness, though we do not talk, i still show acts of kindness every time i get the chance, speak lively to him on the phone when he calls to speak to the children. When i look at him nowadays, i no longer look to him as a bad man, but as someone who the devil wants to use and therefore i pray for him daily.

I made many mistakes when this first happened. I read them in chapter one. I was desperate and not allowing God to be number one in my life. I was doing things that I thought were right, my husband deserved all that I was doing because he had wronged me. I had to repent when I read chapter 1 the first time. I have made many mistakes on the way, but God is all powerful and nothing is impossible with him.
I will be obedient and listen to what the Lord says to me. He has shown me that I need to continue to look to him and be an example to others. He is the only one who can restore my marriage.

I learned to give my life completely to The Lord to trust Him alone and let go off all my doubting that was there all the time deep down in my heart.
I really saw that I have to be quiet and stay quiet in every situation and praise The Lord to help me with this because I couldn't before I read the whole book and started reading a wise woman.
My relationship with The Lord is growing and He is really there for me.
I am the most thankful for that The Lord took away the heavy stone and pain from my heart and feel how He is working in my heart , molding me!

On numerous occasions God will remind me to be still and know that he is God. This meant to me that I don't have to fight this battle because it is not mine to fight but God's. That I only have to stand still and I will see the deliverance that he will bring. I have learned the importance of speaking only to God this means that I am not to speak of my feelings especially the negative ones to anyone else but God. I have learned that I must trust God without borders, that I must be willing to step out of my boat of fear, anxiety, unbelief, pride, and uncertainty, and just trust that he has the best plan for our souls and marriage. Lastly, I have the learned the importance of agreeing with my adversary quickly and that how true it is that a gentle answer turns away wrath.

Wow, I have learnt so much from just the first chapter. This is the 3rd time I have read through and I still learn more each time I do and find even more things to highlight as time has gone by. I learnt to shut up haha. I learnt to be humble and kind and to seek God in all things. My faith has grown in leaps and bounds because I threw myself at his feet. God wants to heal all my hurts and have be draw close to him as my husband & councillor. I learnt so many scriptures just in the first chapter which gave me a new thirst for His word. I learnt that the world (friends, family, councillors) will have many opinions and I have already experienced them and they led me into deeper trouble when I followed their advice. As soon as I first got the book, I stopped going to counselling and stopped listening to others who were encouraging me to move on. I realised how important the bible is for daily living and I never knew I could apply so much to my life! I just learnt so much wisdom and was convicted (ouch) as I had already done many of the things that Erin warns not to do. I was so encouraged by the scripture that love believes all that I went out and bought a bracelet with a scroll charm that I had love engraved on so I would remember that Love believes all and love never fails! I knew from the first chapter that this was the path that God wanted me to take and I read the whole book in 3 days and the only other book I have ever completed took me 3 years to finish. I cringed and cried and repented and praised all the way through it and now I am looking forward to reading it again whilst doing the lessons.
I am encouraged and inspired.

I believe the change starts with me and my relationship with GOD, it has made me aware of all the things I have also done wrong in handling the situation, I could have done things differently had I leaned on GOD first and meditated on his word first. it has drawn me closer in my relationship and made me realize I cannot change the situation on my own, I take everything to him first, I realize that I cannot always think with my emotions and that nothing is impossible with Him, I should not focus on the situation but on Him .i need to speak life not death into my situation.

This book is Amazing!! I lived most of my life in darkness and had a troubled marriage and couldn't understand why UNTIL I read this book. This book taught me how wrong I had been acting in my marriage and it showed me through the Word of God how I should act and it has made all the difference. Next to my Bible, this book is one I will read often as a reminder of how a woman of God should act. Thank you Erin Thiele for writing this amazing book that I am sure it will be a blessing to marriages all around the world!

Corina in North Carolina
The biggest take aways from this were how I was reacting to my situation. I was still trying to control everything and I was doing everything wrong. I was praying to God, but I was still holding onto everything. When I finally let go of everything and surrendered it to God I began to feel His presence in my life and I had a feeling of peace and liberation.
I was often going straight to a friend to talk through things and I realized I must stop doing that. I also was still talking about a lot of my problems or needs with my husband and now I go to God. Of course I'm not perfect and my lips still keep moving after they should have stopped, but this is showing me just how much I need God. I am drawing in closer and closer to Him everyday, and have realized I NEED Him so so much. I was unsure before I read this book what God's will for my life and marriage was. I have realized that I must be very careful about what I say and who I say it too. Even Christians and well intended people can misguide me.

While reading I learned that there is hope . I learned not to listen to what everyone around me is telling me to do. I learned that I need to give it to God. I need to ask for forgiveness and even though it is hard I need to forgive my husband. I learned that the answer is with God that I have to give it to him that I have to talk to him give him my all. My cares my worries go to him for everything and believe. And know that even through I may have bad days that I can go to God for strength.

“How God Could Restore Your Marriage” is a wonderful book to all women, no matter what situation their marriage is at (married, separation, divorce, remarriage or even going to get married). The book brought hope to me at the time when I thought my marriage was hopeless. It opened my eyes to principles and scriptures that I never read before or what the world is telling us. It gave me the faith that God is more than able to restore every marriage.
Seeking God and His Words and do not let the enemy to steal all the blessings and riches that have given to us. Follow the principles in the book and apply them. It encourages you through the Words of God day by day.

Allison in Trinidad
I have learned it is not to late for God to restore my marriage.
I learned the way I was doing things was wrong (in flesh) and not Gods way. I was accusing, impulsive, argumentative and hasty in my words, which made my earthly husband moved out and into his parents home.
I learned from RYM to trust God and to seek his face for everything in my life, because he is my maker. I will follow the teaching while I seek knowledge from his word.
Since been given the RYM book, my life has changed so much. I speak differently knowing I can turn to God with every problem and hurt and cry out to him, because he is the only one who truly understands and can help me. Everyone I spoke to just gave their opinion, but no real answer or help which frustrated me even more.

I learned to let go and let God. Whenever I try to handle the situation myself, I've always made it worst. I learned to give it all to God and then get out his way! I'm also learning to trust in Him because He has my best interest at heart. I won't be deceived or despaired by what I see because I know that God is planning something even greater!! I've always played the victim.... I was loud, rambunctious, and mean. I pushed my husband away with my words. My ways were not godly, yet I tried to mask them as if they were. I didn't acknowledge God in my marriage or in anything that I did. I was too busy trying to satisfy the flesh and not the spirit.

Tendai in England
I have learned a lot from this chapter and look forward to learning some more. Firstly i learnt that i should not rush to share with others about my situation but that i should run to God as my only source of help. And i was guilty of sharing my problems with my friends and relatives. But now i know to just run to God.
Secondly i learned that i should stop all sorts of arguing with my husband and that peace is better. i am by nature headstrong and strong willed and i'm learning that i should not be quarrelsome.
Thirdly i learned that i should stop all sorts of snooping around due to my suspicions. This is a big one for me ..Proverbs 24: 3-4 house is built by wisdom. It is made strong by understanding, and by much learning the rooms are filled with all riches that are pleasing and of great worth. The scripture has shown me that i need wisdom in order to build my home and that i was foolish in how i handled matters.

The "How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage" book has been a lifeline, a guide to God's Word and relationship with Him and with others, especially my husband. It's such a difference from what the world says about marriage and relationships! I ordered several copies of the book for myself and in case I had the opportunity to share with others. The book is so helpful to have in hand and to reference. I look forward to taking some time to read back through the book and see what new insights God has to show me. That's the amazing thing "How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage" is so full of Scripture, wisdom.

Update: Valerie RESTORED in Illinois.
At first, this book is going to inspire you. It is going to tell you the words you have been DYING to hear from someone, anyone!: God CAN AND WILL restore your marriage. Those words will be water to your thirsty soul as it was mine. I cried my eyes out when I started this book because these were words that I so desperately needed.
Then this book is going to get a little painful. Some people might even stop reading at this point. Because you are going to learn and hear things about yourself that you will absolutely want to deny. It's at this point when you realize that you are largely to blame for what's going on in your marriage. And that will crush you. But it's everything you need to complete this journey. Because if you don't face the things that are in your heart, even the ugly things, you won't get your husband back...but more importantly, you won't and can't be right with God and that is what should really crush you.
Once you accept your part in the crumbling of your marriage and repent, you will keep moving forward in this book. And it will become inspirational, practical and a lifeline straight from God.

This is the second most important book to me right now, of course the Bible is first. "How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage" is very instrumental in allowing me to get through my RJ with ease and comfort. This book dispels all the rumors, puts many things in perspective and provides a great influence for getting closer to Him and allowing your bible to be your ultimate source. I have read the book a few times and I plan to read it again. I would recommend this book to any woman throughout any stage of restoration and any woman seeking to renew their minds.

This book will show you that God was leading you all this time and that you are not crazy. It will show you that God is in control and that all things will work for good to those who love him and are called according to his purpose. God is a loving God and he wants our hearts and he wants us to be happy for the rest of our lives and to be like a tree planted by streams of his living water. No man can give you what God will give you he is the lover of your soul and he wants to show you that he is the love you have been searching all this time.

Joy in Michigan
I am so grateful that God led me to this book while searching for support to stand for my marriage. It's not like reading any other self-help book. It is so saturated with Scripture that it is rather like reading someone's well-marked Bible who has gone through the same struggles that you are facing. My Bible now looks like that, which is the legacy I want to leave behind. I believe that everyone should have RYM as a handbook for family life, not just those who have waited until the struggles became disastrous.

Najlepsie kapitoly v nej su: Moja milovana, Maj vieru, Svarliva zena, Vludnost na jazyku, Vyhraj bez slov, Tichy a pokojny duch, Kto prvy hodi kamenom.

Book How God can and restore your marriage is by far the best book I've read about marriage. Before, I read about 20 books about marriage and I kept buying new, but now I know that I do not need any other. Written in it everything you need to know. For best chapters in it are: My beloved, Have faith, contentious woman, kindness to the language without words Win, gentle and quiet spirit, who first cast a stone.

The book "How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage" really helps you apply Biblical principles to your dying marriage to restore it. You will receive many testimonies how God has helped other marriages be restored. You first must surrender to God and have an intimate relationship with him. God must be your first love. God's WORD says that when we obey him, follow him with a pure heart, apply his wisdom in our relationships, and please him, he can make even our enemies be at peace with us. I've learned that Let God change you by renewing your mind with his ways. Your biggest battle will be in your mind. You must change from the world's way of thinking to God's way. I have seen what this has done for my marriage and he can do it for yours. God's way appears foolish to the world because they do not know him personally. The book also warns you of things not to do while you are waiting for God to change your husband's h eart. You can trust God's WORD to be true that is taught in this book. God can restore impossible marriages. God hates divorce and it is his will to help you. Please read the book and allow God to change you and restore your marriage.

Sowing Step 4: RYM Books in Community Churches
The first time God used me, the response was favorable— God is faithful when we obey Him. I encouraged a woman at work and invited her to meditate on the book I offered her and to seek God for her life.
The day I met this woman, I was at work and saw she was in very bad way. She told me that she wanted to kill herself, so I immediately gave my book How God Restore Your Marriage, and glory to God she read it and began to work on each issue in her life. And I'm so happy to say that her husband has returned home!!
We continue to meet at work, while she shares her progress so she continues to work through the principles, putting more of them into her life.
The obstacles we've had to overcome is because women in Mexico have been taught by our pastors and priests, that if there is adultery you can divorce, so it because more complicated, but the Holy Spirit is convincing women as they read the truth found in this book!

Thank you so much for the wonderful RYM. I've come away with a greater understanding of God's Word, a greater understanding of the wrongs I've committed in my life and marriage and a stronger belief and faith than I had before. Having verses from the Bible and having them explained and shown how they apply to my life have been so helpful. It's also been great to see how others have had restoration in their marriages and what they went through to get there.
I would recommend How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage to others. The testimonies and scriptures included have been so helpful in my healing and restoration journey.
