An abusive childhood left John with deep emotional wounds, which festered into a
simmering rage that followed him into adulthood and marriage. Tony grew up feeling unwanted and unloved. Even after marrying and starting a family of his own, his anger led to verbal and physical abuse. But God can restore even the hardest of hearts as well as marriages and families.

Thank you for the story. I really appreciate it and it makes me wanna read more and listen to more stories. I began interested in the bible stories since I was little. But I’m trying myself to learn more and be a part of it and help people who are in needs of the words of God, but my life right now is so complicated. Cus my boyfriend it’s not interested in what I’m studying. But all I ask for is a Prayer for us. Thank you!

I am from the Philippines and when I listened to this couple’s testimony, I could relate to how my husband is treating me right now. He becomes so angry and turns into a different person whenever he gets upset or is triggered by something that hurts his ego and becomes verbally abusive to me too. He was abandoned as a child by his parents and we married young too. Now I understand why he acts that way and although sometimes I feel like giving up on him, I will continue to pray for my husband and for Him to save our marriage and transform my husband into how God wants him to be and the same for me too. I know God is still working on both of us. Please pray for us too. Thank you and God bless!

I am in a similar way but am not married. Am just in a relationship ship, but it is kind of hard if he don’t trust me and we don’t communicate like we should. So am trying to work on it, but am put in God hands cause he know how to handle my situation. Just pray for me and I will do the same.
