These that we just shared have us
started on a journey, which we believe, will
lead us to new height and depth in our marriage.
Being human, we recognize that temptations of
the world and the evil one … will be in the way.
With total trust in God, our conscious effort to
seek HIM and understandings from this course, we
would be there, as planned.

Before attending this
course, I used to be:
- upset with...angry with his hurtful
words...disappointed on his coldness
We are
now: - more conscious of each other’s needs
for words of encouragement and affirmation...
- constantly reminding each other that we are
one flesh.
- giving each other more...

We have 3 wonderful, obedient and grown- up
children - 2 girls and 1 boy, of whom 2 of the
girls are married...We are also grandparents to
an adorable granddaughter. All these years, my
impression of The Marriage Course is that it is
suited for couples whose marriages are troubled
or on the rocks. Hence, we hesitated signing up
especially since we have enjoyed 35 years of
good marriage, by God's grace.
Through these few weeks of TMC lessons, I
realized that this course definitely can benefit
any married couple, regardless how good or
how long they've been together.

Like many couples, we frequently
disagreed over many issues. These ranged from
how we wanted to bring up our children, domestic
maids, in-laws and even which church/cell to
attend...
We have learnt a lot about marriage and
ourselves. TMC has enlightened us to the
purposes, problems and possibilities of
marriage. It has given us a blue print to steer
our marriage on the right path.

We have also learnt the power of
joint decision
making. In the past, whoever is the
subject expert calls the shots. We realized
that it does not mean that if I am good in
certain area, I should make unilateral decision.
It should be a joint decision whereby both
parties agree. Should anything go wrong, we will
not blame each other but stand together and
support each other and learn from mistake.

... and the Marriage Course, I
learnt to release them all to God and not keep
all this hurts
and unforgiveness.
Of course it is easier said than done but every
time I think of the harm that hurts and
unforgiveness could do to ourselves and family,
I will not hold any grudge and release them to
God. I also learn to be more careful with my
actions and the words that I say to my husband
as the Bible tells us that we will reap what we
sow to our loved ones.

When I first came for the TMC
lessons, I came with an angry heart because I
was full of anger at that time and disappointed
with my husband, the thought of breaking up with
Peter was lingering in my mind. However, after
every lesson, God revealed
to me of my weaknesses and I was
convicted to change and release forgiveness to
my husband.

As I put
into practice the Word of God taught in
the TMC course, I noticed that there is an
attitude change in my wife towards me. She has
shown more respect and support to me. Now,
instead of focusing on my own needs, I put her
first. |
