- Carey and Toni Nieuwhof’s marriage wasn’t always happy and filled with love. There was a time when they were on the brink of divorce, and though they tried to make amends, they kept failing into a cycle of fighting, anger and distance. Today Carey and Toni say they can’t imagine considering divorce. While it took a lot of work, counseling, faith, and learning to understand each other, they brought their marriage to a place of grace, love and growth. Through their honest and vulnerable stories and advice, they’ll help encourage couples considering divorce to save their marriages and take a path toward healing.

I have studied relationships for many years. I recently remarried a widow. She and I have come to the conclusion that ALL conflict comes through selfishness. We must put aside the "self" and become selfless when we are in any relationship, especially with a spouse/family. Deny thy self.
Yes so true....but we can't change others.....
What about conflicting parenting styles
One of the best revelations in marriage is that I don't actually know how my husband thinks or processes life. He really is totally different than me. I love it more and more. I laugh and lighten up more now instead of simmering offence and resentment. I love that we're not the same.
My current situation mirrors their story. Professionally on a high but relationally at an all time low.
Can't wait to hear part 2 of the story.
Were against the d word. We're permanently disabled him mental illnes me legally blind, married, & homeless in our vehicle. Pray for us that God has his way in all aspects. Most important We're saved.
Truly appreciate the authenticity of your testimony. I'm deeply touched that I am not alone in this. Your story is giving me hope and courage to press on.
Looking forward to Part 2!
Oh man now we have to wait till part two??? Wooiwow this is really helpful
Carl, we're glad you found today's broadcast helpful. You will definitely enjoy part two tomorrow.
Hey guys, I simply love focus on the family it's my favorite radio cast for many years and I admire the kindness and love you guys offer, GOD BLESS YOU ❤
can’t wait for the next one🙏
wow so glad I came to listen to you.
Thank you for this episode. Thanks for your honesty and candidness. Relationship is so hard. But your story gives me some hope.
O my...it ended on a very high note. When is the next one?😊
All I heard was me, pride, myself, narcissistic, and I, arrogance....Lord Jesus may we learn to die ourselves by the power of your blood, married or not married.😮
Hallelujah Praise the Lord
Thanks to the both of them for sharing their story. It will strengthen many. Like me. It helps us understand that struggles are not ours alone. God is with us thru them. He never fails. And in the end victory will be sweetest because of the deepest struggles. Marriages are tried very hard by the enemy and A lot rests in them. Leys keep the faith. "Fight a good fight". There's always a great reward for endurance. I wish you both nothing but the best. And thank you for choosing to stay your children will thank you on day.
We're glad you were encouraged by the Nieuwhofs, they have such an awesome testimony.
Interesting ❤
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽God is so Faithful 🤍🤍
"vicious cycle of conflict"
Great message and interesting to listen to.
There's an art to fulfillment.
Some take the long road but eventually arrive.
Some don't achieve fulfillment this side.
Others fast-track their way in.
I don't know whether our marriage is going to make it. I cannot see the light at the end of this dark and lonely tunnel but I take it day by day and am determined not to do what my Father hates...

If we can help you on this journey, please don't hesitate to call us at 800-232-6459. We have counselors and resources that have helped many others. May God bless you and uplift you (Psalm 3:3).
I wonder how often perimenopause and menopause contributes to marital struggles. I am 47, and perimenopausal. It's hard. It affects my mothering and parenting, though I try for it not to, but there are times I am being completely irrational and angry at the smallest triggers.. It's super frustrating. Thankfully, my husband and family have had grace with me, but I can see how it could definitely affect marriages.
how do we attend? we are in Nigeria. we would love to attend
Hi Vivian! We apologize for the delayed response! We would love for you to attend an intensive. It would require coming to the United States for an intensive. We offer a 4-day group intensive and a 3- and 5-day private intensive. We conduct these sessions in Branson, MO; Greenville, MI; Cave Creek, AZ, and Rome, GA (not all intensives are available at all locations). If you'd like more information, please visit our website at HopeRestored.com. You can email us from our website, or if you are able, please call us at 866/875-2915. We'd love to see how we can help!
Unfortunately they are speaking for the audience. They can't give the details that destroyed their marriage.
Anneagram????
And it’s a PASTOR… May the Lord reveal to them the truth about this deception. In Jesus’ name.
@@nicoledelacruz5983 a biggie!!! (deception)
would be nice with all of your broadcasts u had closed caption included. frustrating to listen to a show and can't understand what is being said all the time due to hearing loss and it becomes a futile effort and eventually i just quit listening. one reason why i don't watch a lot of your broadcasts
"Impacting millions of leaders a year" is that real or a bit of an overstatment?
