A marriage healed

On Sunday morning between the two weeks of Christian Science Class Instruction I walked to a nearby church with a friend, a man whom I had met in class. As we entered church we saw our classmates seated and decided to join them. My friend entered the pew aisle first, I sat beside him on the end of the pew. As we were waiting for the service to begin I heard a voice say “This is your husband.” I looked at my friend and thought “OK”. We were married two months later (it takes that long to order a wedding dress) and we’ve been married for 23 years.

At one point my marriage was not happy. I had been praying about the situation for some time, but still really struggling. I was out one evening driving and crying. I reached out to God for direction, for peace. I heard a clear voice say “Trust.” I thought “Trust who?” I didn’t feel there was anyone I could trust at that moment. The voice said “Trust God”. I went home. Though times were tough I trusted God to supply a harmonious outcome. I did not outline what the solution should be; just that God would provide harmony. The marriage difficulties were healed so completely that one friend commented, “There doesn’t seem to be even a scar on your marriage.” That was 18 years ago and harmony has prevailed.
