John's Story

One thought that went through my mind on our wedding day in Dec 1984 was, “Will I regret what I am getting myself into today?”. The thought was soon dismissed. Little did I realize I would come back to it more than a few times.

After marriage, the kids came along, and we got busy with family and work, unwisely letting our relationship suffer. Reaching a low point, everything was very tense whenever we were around each other. Any remark or action was interpreted negatively leading to accusations and almost daily arguments. I often thought then, what has happened to the sweet, kind and understanding girl that I married? It was a miserable feeling not knowing how to rebuild our relationship.

I felt a sense of loss, as though the vibrant connection we once shared had slipped away. I struggled with guilt, wondering if I was failing as a husband. A pivotal moment came when we sought outside help, eventually leading us back to a fulfilling and supportive relationship. I realized that with hope, effort and openness, we could begin anew and rebuild our marriage. I now look forward to journeying with Joann for the remainder of our lives together.

Joann's Story

One day many years ago, just before John left for his trip overseas, I told him that he would find the divorce papers on his table when he returned home. I was determined to take steps to end our marriage. This was at a very low point in our marriage, I was no longer happy nor peaceful. I felt unloved, misunderstood, unsupported and uncherished. The result? We fought almost daily over everything, including the smallest things.

As a consequence of my parents’ broken marriage, growing up, I had experienced and seen my own family suffer. I realized I owed it to myself, our children, and even to John to give our marriage another chance. Attending a Marriage Encounter weekend gave me hope that healing was possible, and began a journey that’s been challenging but deeply rewarding. Our road to recovery has continued since. I now remind myself, sometimes on a daily basis, to begin again and again whenever challenges surface in our marriage.
