Bravely Staying in a Broken Marriage: Believing God for Restoration
By Amanda Davison

God's Brave Women - Amanda's Story
Earlier that day I told my husband I was done with our marriage. During a heated exchange I took our two kids and left, with no intention of coming back. But in the hours that followed I flung my anger at God and asked him to affirm my decision.
Instead, God gently suggested I had tried everything I knew to save my marriage and fix my husband…except Him. Stunned, he also revealed it might not be my husband that needs to do all the changing. Ouch.
"God gently suggested I had tried everything I knew to save my marriage and fix my husband… except Him."
So after hours of driving, I walked back through the door I’d walked out of, and went straight to our bedroom. I didn’t want to talk. I didn’t know what to say.
How can you explain to someone something you don’t know what to make sense of?
While there was much I was confused about in our marriage, I did know this far-off God I had always used as some side dish to the life I was making for myself was asking me to stay and to try it his way. So eventually, I mustered up the words to explain the only thing I knew.
