A couple who divorced due to the husband’s physical abuse and affair got married again after they both chased healing from God.

The two were new Christians when they first met. But before meeting Christ, Tommy and Michelle suffered “emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.” Hence, when they met the Lord, they needed to heal traumas and pains to heal from their troubled past. And in their marriage, their brokenness as individuals eventually tore their marriage apart.
Got Divorced
Tommy struggled with anger issues that made him violent at times. Meanwhile, Michelle struggled with doing drugs because that was how she dealt with her husband’s rage. The couple hid their struggle from their church family because they were ministry leaders. People in the church looked at them as a good example. But God knew what was going on.
“We would go to church and we would play church,” Michelle recounted. “And then we would go home and it would be very destructive.”
Years later, the couple’s arguments turned into violence. Tommy hit his wife in the face, which landed him in jail. After being released, they reunited and later discovered Michelle was pregnant. But in her fifth month of pregnancy, she caught her husband cheating. So, she left him and filed for a divorce.
Chasing Healing In God
Amidst all the painful things happening in her life, she desperately cried out to God for help. Michelle then turned to God’s Word for hope and encouragement. Later, she went on a healing journey with the Lord and rested in God’s Presence until she became satisfied with Him alone.
Meanwhile, Tommy was also encountering God and pursuing healing as well.
