As a new believer in Jesus, Vicki Rose tried to get some marriage advice from a Christian counselor.

He said, you need to get on with your life.

You know, this is a lot of codependent stuff you're hanging on, and, you know, you need to get on.

You have every right and reason to divorce and go on.

And I must have gone back to him three times to say, is it really true?

Did you really say that? Is it really okay? Because the Bible says God hates divorce. So how can I divorce my husband?

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Wednesday, February 11th.

A woman wrote to us in response to yesterday's program.

She described her very difficult relationship with her husband and in-laws,

and then wrote,

Listening to your message has made me realize that I need to forgive him and his mother for all the pain they've caused me. May the Lord help me to remove all the bitterness from my heart and restore the relationship with my husband.

With God, all things are possible.

We're about to hear more of the conversation

that sparked that comment. Here's Nancy to introduce our guest.

I love hearing stories of God's grace at work, changing people's lives. And it's been

such a joy this week to be hearing a testimony for my friend Vicki Rose.

Vicki, thank you so much for being with us and revive our hearts, for living this story

and then for being willing to share it with others so openly as you have.

Well, Nancy, it's so great, first of all, to see you after so many years.

We see each other, I think, periodically about every five or six years, which is not nearly enough, but I'm just thrilled to see you again.

And it's just such a privilege for a billion for me to have been transformed by the Lord,

to have our lives changed, to have our marriage healed, to have all of that have happened.
