My Miracle!
Submitted by: Mel L
CanadaI am a mother of 2 boys and married for 10 years.
At one time in my marriage (not long ago) I thought and contemplated separation. My husband and I are from 2 different worlds. Not only is he older then me, but we are far from being similar. He is shy and reserved with not many friends, and I’m outgoing and have A LOT of friends. There was a time where I thought he was controlling me too much, wanted me at home all the time.
I spent 7 years of my life staying home with my children to make sure that there were no babysitters or daycare involved. I wanted the best for them, but in the meantime I lost myself somewhere along the 7 years. I hardly went out, and I seemed to find all the excuses in the world to not go out with my friends. I started getting down on myself. Every thought I had was negative. My marriage was a disaster because I totally closed myself off from my husband, not wanting to talk with him about my situation of being unhappy. I started being short tempered when my kids were being a little rowdy. I even got to the point (once I returned to work and my kids were in school full time) where I didn’t want to come home. I didn’t want to spend time with my husband any more. I resented him for taking my life away, for controlling what I wanted to do, and then I resented myself for not taking control of my life.
I was talking with my sister in law, who has endured a lot of grief in her life, and she told me about “The Secret”. I was very negative at the thought that a book could change my life, but I have to take that back. IT DID. In fact, it worked so well that my husband also read it, and is grateful for what it did for us. It saved our marriage!! We are incredibly happy – it’s like time stood still and the universe brought us back together, but this time, we are more in love than we have ever been before, it’s incredible. All the things I wanted from him I receive, and more. My children are happier, and my friends see a whole different person. I’m loving life, and enjoying every minute. Now I dread going to work, because that means I’m away from my husband and kids. I wish I could bring them with me!
Thanks to The Secret, it saved my family from a separation. A life of a single mother is very tough. I feel so blessed to have had the chance to read The Secret and bring it into my life. Not only are we happy, we are an inspiration to a lot of people (couples) in our lives!
Keep the book/movie alive. You inspired us all!
