Wives, restoration does not fail because God changed His mind about your marriage.
It usually breaks down because compromise was left in places that should have been surrendered.
Too many wives want healing while still protecting bitterness, pride, control, and ungodly counsel. That will always delay what God is trying to restore.
You can read a post like this though and find HOPE that God DOES reveal His truth to you even while healing your marriage!
>> Here are the 5x mistakes we see most wives make during marriage restoration:
1) Delayed / Refusal of Forgiveness:
Most wives false start during restoration. You step out holding on to pride and bitterness, and it quickly creates some of the most disheartening moments.
There may be an initial “wanting to work on the marriage” without an actual heart shift, followed by unrighteous interactions that drain the remaining hope and energy from both you and your husband.
Or, you can learn to lay down your desire for bitterness and vengeance.
2) Worshipping Your Intellect / Own Understanding:
Many wives understand logically what it takes to restore a marriage but never actually walk it out. Your mind becomes a false shield against hurt and the very thing that immobilizes you. The more you feed your intellect and deprive your spirit, the less anything moves toward the light.
Or, you can learn to stop worshipping your own understanding, and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you in every moment.
3) You Involve the Wrong People:
In tandem with delayed forgiveness, many wives involve people who will agree with their bitterness, support it, or easily take their side.
Then, when you finally move toward true restoration, you’ve built relationships that know the malice and slander, but not the heart shift. They don’t support healing, and you end up creating enemies to your own marriage.
Or, you can learn to stop building agreement with the disorder in your marriage, and surround yourself with Godly counsel and community who will disciple you, and hold you accountable.
4) You Involve Wise Counsel Too Late:
Many wives compromise by involving the wrong counsel too soon. People who don’t challenge you, don’t care about your soul condition, and slow down healing. Then, when wise counsel finally enters the picture, there’s more recent damage to unpack than there ever needed to be.
Or, you can learn to bring truth in before chaos is normalized and justified.
5) You Don’t See the Real Deception by Satan:
Satan doesn’t care how you feel. He just wants you convinced at each level of affliction that it can’t get worse. Until it does, again and again. You’re still standing, but now in a far less likely scenario for healing.
His real plan is to keep both you and your husband from fulfilling your God-given purpose. He gets just as much satisfaction from a stagnant marriage as from a broken one.
Or, you can learn to stop surviving oppression and start contending for restoration spiritually and practically.
