Your marriage can be healed.

A hope restored marriage intensive from focus on the family can transform you and your spouse's relationship in just a few days.

We'll go to this thing, but this is it.

If this doesn't work, we're done.

What we have now, it's way more than we ever had before and that I ever even dreamed of in the marriage.

I think the problem is we become complacent in thinking all there is to the Christian life is holding on and suffering until he brings us home.

But God wants to restore his joy in us. He wants us to be filled with the presence of God's spirit, with his joy and delight.

He wants more for us,

I think, than sometimes we want for ourselves. Well, that's Asherita Choochoo, and she's with us today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, and I'm John Fuller. You know, John, there is no way around

it. This life has pain, and I'm sure some of you listening or watching are experiencing

it right now, but there is good news, and you're sitting in that pain going, how could there

be good news? You don't know what's going on in my life, but Jesus hasn't left you, and he is

with you if you will reach out to him. And I think it's one of those things where he adjusts our

attitude toward life. Our circumstances may or may not change. And often we pray for just that.

Lord, change our circumstances. And sometimes it happens. In other times, he gives us the ability

to go through those circumstances regardless of what they are.

Yeah, there's so much to be learned in the valley, and we're glad to have Asherita Chutu back with us

today. She's a former missionary kid and a mom and a wife and founder of an online ministry called

One Thing Alone Ministries, which helps overwhelmed women find joy in Jesus.

And Asherita is also an author, and she's written a wonderful book called Delighting in

Jesus, Rhythms to Restore Joy when you feel burdened, broken, or burned out.
