With more than half of all marriages ending in divorce, it begs the question ‘why and can that be reversed?’
Ten years ago I was one of those statistics where I said ‘never would my marriage and family end in divorce.’ Not only was I one of the fifty-percent going through divorce, I was also part of the over seventy percent struggling with a high conflict custody and visitation battle that crushed the hopes and dreams for all involved creating a ripple effect to my children.
In the height of the pain God revealed to me that He took me from a broken state and allowed me to be crushed into powder. For it is in the powder He could add His healing water to make something brand new in what looked hopeless. It was at that time He revealed that He would not let a remnant be wasted.
Forged Together is the process of taking broken metal and putting it under intense heat and pressure or pounding to make what was broken into something newer and stronger than what it was once before.
Each marriage and relationship comes together with broken pieces that each person expects someone else to make while but they don’t realize the brokenness of the other person.
The goal with Forged Together is 3-fold:
- To bring to light in new relationships those broken pieces and give them the tools to finish long and strong in their relationship.
- To those marriages and families that are struggling and on the brink of falling apart to find that renewed energy to shore up their foundations and see their marriages and families thrive for generations.
- For those who have experienced divorce or struggling with a broken relationship to be able to hit the reset button and find hope again in a turbulent time.
Imagine if divorce became more of a rarity and healthy relationships became more of the norm how much of a legacy we could leave for our children and grandchildren!
