Saving My Marriage.
Submitted by: Cheri G
ColoradoI'm a 46 year old, married female with two children, both who are currently in college. I am a Mental Health and Addictions Counselor and have worked in the behavioral health field for approximately 17 years, helping others. I love my work, but often fail to love and care for myself in the midst of helping others.
My husband, who is on active duty in the Air Force, introduced me to The Secret several years ago. My husband has always been extremely positive, while I on the other hand tended to focus more on the negative. I hesitantly watched the movie with him but had a hard time grasping the concepts, as everything The Secret talked about was in contrast to everything I had been taught my entire life. I grew up believing I had to work hard to make money and life was meant to be difficult. I do not think I ever really knew what true happiness felt like, as I did not believe I deserved to be “truly happy”.
Approximately five years into my marriage, my husband left for his fifth deployment overseas. I was angry, resentful, and lonely. I felt as though I was his last priority and I was extremely negative because of these feelings. On New Year’s Day in 2015, my husband sent me a message telling me he was filing for divorce. I was devastated to say the least.
After a couple of days of feeling completely destroyed from this news, The Secret came into my mind. I also began to listen to The Power. I listened to it as much as possible; at work in between clients, while walking my dogs, first thing in the morning while getting ready for work, in my car while driving to work and before I went to bed at night. I prayed for a miracle to happen and I visualized my husband and I being happy together. I also downloaded The Secret App and read The Secret Daily Teachings frequently throughout the day. Even though my husband was adamant about serving me with divorce papers and filing for divorce, I focused on the positive. I was grateful for all that I had and I spoke only positive and kind words to him, as I knew I could not let any negativity bring me down. I knew based on The Secret teachings that I could not ask him to stay in the relationship, as I could not force the relationship to happen against his will.
Then, right before Valentine’s Day, approximately a month later, he became open to the thought of working things out and we began the process of making our relationship better. I am now happy to say that we are still married and our relationship is better than ever today. We have both grown emotionally and our marriage is stronger than ever!
I am grateful to Rhonda for sharing The Secret. It saved my marriage and I continue to receive numerous blessings in my life by using The Secret teachings of ‘Ask, Believe, and Receive’. I share my story in hopes that it will help others. Never give up hope and focus on all that you are blessed with. Thank you to the Universe for always providing for me in abundance. I am truly blessed and grateful!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
