The very next day I found Janelle on Facebook. I took a step out on faith, and I signed up for Marriage Ignite.

I first met Janelle at a point where my marriage was suffering.
My husband was exhibiting behaviors that were just breaking
my heart.
My husband had just recently started a trucking
business and it was not working out the way he planned for it to, so I became his “enemy”.

 Our emotional connection began to suffer. My husband would say things like “you should be with someone else”. I was becoming more and more hopeless in my marriage.

I was dissatisfied with simply existing or coexisting. The emotional toll began to weigh heavy on me. I started feeling stress in my shoulders, I had a pain in my side, and I was tired all the time.
One morning when my husband woke up and got himself ready for work and never even bothered to say anything to me, I felt so heavy. I began to cry, and I asked God to help me.

  One of the things that this process promises is that you can be the change you want to see in your marriage, that you do not need two people working together to start to see the change you so desperately want to see. 

As the weeks went by and I began to do the work. I started to witness a change in myself and the ways I would react to my husband. He noticed a change in my behavior as well. One of the things that this process promises is that you can be the change you want to see in your marriage, that you do not need two people working together to start to see the change you so desperately want to see.
What Marriage Ignite began to show me was that there was a missing piece in my marriage and that missing piece was Jesus. Although we attended church every Sunday as a married couple, there was no real basis and foundation for our marriage. I needed someone to show us the right way. 
I began to pray for my husband, and he began to change his behavior. I dedicated myself to the process, and I rededicated my life to Christ. I began to see the change take place. This process helped change the trajectory of my marriage. My husband even joined the process and began working with Mike, Janelle’s husband. It was not at all easy, but it was worth every prayer that was prayed, every tear that I cried, and every effort that was put forth.

My husband and I are no longer “enemies” by the grace of God. As a matter of fact, I believe we are becoming all God has planned for us to be.
