My relationship with my wife turned really bad after the birth of our second child. As young parents we were not able to cope with two young children who were a year apart. Things got worse when we became stressed at work. We quarreled frequently and had less time with each other. Our lives seemed to revolve around the children and work.

We finally separated and engaged lawyers to end the relationship. My wife and children moved to stay with my in‑laws. At this darkest point in our lives, God divinely arranged for us to attend New Creation Church without each other’s knowledge. When I found out that my wife and children were attending the same church as me, I suggested fetching them to church every week.

Though things were still gloomy, both my wife and I chose to fix our eyes on Jesus as our only way to salvation. Weeks of hearing and learning about what Jesus has done for us slowly set us free from stress and anger. We began to love each other again with Jesus in our midst.

By the grace of God my wife and I eventually reconciled and our relationship is now better than ever before.

Our third child was born within four years after we had separated, and my wife has found a new job that offers better work‑life balance. She was also promoted within two years, and in the third year she was transferred to the department of her choice, where the work is easier to manage. Indeed with Jesus, everything is possible!
