“Oh, there is in contemplating Christ, a balm for every wound; in musing on the Father, there is a quietous for every grief; and in the influence of the Holy Ghost, there is a balsam for every sore... I know nothing which can so comfort the soul... as a devout musing upon the subject of the Godhead”. --Charles Spurgeon I learned this during the time I worked through the pain of my first husband’s betrayal: personal worship leads to healing.

Questions Wounded Wives Ask
Renee, you've been telling us about the WIFEBOAT Online Support Groups. What sort of topics will you cover in this program? The WIFEBOAT Online Support Group will be 2 hours a week for 12 weeks.

Marriages and Mentors Conference April 16th – 19th For Couples Impacted by Homosexuality I wanted to let you all know about a special conference being held for Christian couples whose marriages have been impacted by homosexuality. It’s a unique format that allows each couple attending to include a mentor couple to accompany them and therefore be part of their process of healing and communication. What better way for a couple to approach their challenges than with a trusted couple to walk alongside them, who is also equipped on the Continue Reading
