Jessica, what has been the greatest challenge in your marriage thus far?
Well, before I got married I told myself I wasn’t going to argue with my husband, but we all know that was doomed from the start. Eventually the contention became more negative and hurtful then I ever thought it would.
How did all the fighting make you feel?
I felt like I was losing myself; like I was turning into a monster, hurting someone I loved.
I think we’ve all been there to some extent. Why do you think you fell into such negative patterns?
I actually believed that I was fighting for our marriage; doing the right thing to save our marriage. In reality, I was breaking it, but I didn’t understand that, and I didn’t have the right tools to fix it. I just kept hating who I had become, this tired, negative person. The sense of failure so overwhelmed me some days, that I wondered if I should have even been born because of the hurt I was causing. We ended up on the brink of divorce… I had given up.
Ouch! That’s so sad. And serious. When did things start to change?
After being introduced to Wife for Life, I began to understand myself and why I was doing what I was doing, and most importantly, how to stop doing it and get it right! Wife for Life principles hit it spot-on. I felt like you, Ramona, were talking directly and personally to me! It gave me so much hope for a brighter future! I wasn’t a monster!
Wow! Of course you were never a monster! What made the greatest difference for you?
Well, most importantly, I now had a much better understanding of my husband, which no one could give me before. It made my dream of a peaceful, progressive marriage actually possible! Can you believe that? I still can’t! The tools you taught me in Wife for Life University work! I can’t believe the wonders they have done.
What kind of wonders?
I can hardly put into words! What it has done for me! It saved not only my marriage but it saved ME. My sanity was saved and I became the wife I have always wanted to be. Plus it saved our marriage. I will never be able to say thank you enough. My heart is full of gratitude!!
That is so wonderful, Jessica. Now that things are so much better, how do you see yourself and the future?
I am a changed woman who is truly happy with the one she loves. Wife for Life University is a journey I will never forget and that I will happily stay on for the rest of my life — and no looking back!
We are SO proud of and happy for you, Jessica, and so glad to go every step down the “Road to Forever” with you!
Thank YOU for for taking this journey with me! Words of gratitude without end…..

Isn’t that something?! The contention in Jessica’s marriage began to subside when she started to comprehend how her reactions to her husband were based in fear. Things got even better when she began to realize how his fears were contributing as well.
She also learned how to better manage conflict in their marriage: how to prevent unnecessary conflict, how to protect their relationship during conflict, how to work with unsolvable conflict, and how to forgive and be forgiven.
For Jessica and her husband, miracles ensued.
It can be YOUR year of miracles too — whether your marriage is troubled, good, or even great right now!
