To read this particular testimony we will send you to a medical web site, webmd.com, which isn’t Christian in its content (and some of the information on it doesn’t line up biblically), but there is a lot of helpful information on it that does line up biblically. It’s a matter of praying, gleaning what God shows that you can use, and doing so.
The following linked article tells how Steve McDougald was able to get help for his anger problems which helped his marriage to his wife Amy.
We’ve personally heard some good things concerning the Steven Stosny Boot Camp that is mentioned in this testimony. That’s why we encourage you to read the article and also consider the boot camp if there is an anger problem going on in your relationship that is abusive.

I just got Married. And I have problem with myself. I need help…and I just started a new job can’t take time off.
Hi, Isaiah. I can appreciate the stress you feel because you can’t take time off to really spend some quality/extended time to work with your wife on your marriage. Hopefully this will only be for a short season as you get established in your job. In the meantime, you don’t need a bootcamp to start learning and growing in your marriage and your role as a husband. The primary key to success is that you need to become a student of your wife and your marriage.
To help you, on our web site we have a couple thousand articles on every topic of marriage you can imagine. So, whatever you may be dealing with or want to learn I’m willing to bet you will find something you can read that will help you. I suggest you go first into the section called FOR MARRIED MEN (https://marriagemissions.com/category/for-married-men/) and start reading the articles there. You will gain valuable insight into what God expects of us as husbands and how we can love our wives the way they need it most. There are 24 articles in that section alone.
Next, if you’re like I was when I first got married I didn’t have a clue as to how to be romantic (the way my wife needs me to be). So, we created a section called ROMANTIC IDEAS (https://marriagemissions.com/category/romantic-ideas/) that can give you great suggestions and ideas.
If you feel you need help in how to communicate with your wife go to the COMMUNICATION AND CONFLICT (https://marriagemissions.com/category/communication-and-conflict/) section.
If you only spend a couple of hours a week in your free time from work you can grow in your relationship tremendously and pretty quickly.
I’d love for you to come back on the web site in a few months and update us on your progress. Blessings!
My name is Amanda and my fiancé name is Bryan. My fiancé has been looking at nude pictures of ladies and saves them on the phone and has nasty pictures posted on his locker. I caught him on a dating site on his phone in web browser history and he wants to lie about it. He won’t keep a job and has put his hands on me and all 3 his ex’s and has cheated on me and his ex girlfriends. He keeps telling his ex and me to go find someone else to be with. I keep telling him I don’t want anybody else. I want him only.
He won’t stop talking about his ex girlfriends. He won’t stay away from his drug addict friends and he won’t move to Indiana with me. I have family there and he just wants to be with his druggie friends and have his ex girlfriends around him. He wants to move closer to all his ex girlfriends… And he told me that he doesn’t have a life and he can do whatever he wants.
He is not seeing he is going to lose me if he doesn’t change or get the help he needs and he is not focusing on our relationship. I will not get married to him until he is a changed man. He won’t pick up after himself and his dog; he will let dog poop set there and not clean it up. He makes me clean it up. Bryan needs help. He is about to lose me and I am about walking away. We have been together 1 1/2 years, almost 2 years and I won’t marry him until he has changed his life around and for him to settle down. He is 48 years old and I am 40 years old. It’s time for him to settle down. Please help Bryan. He needs help.
I want to tell you the Lord loves you and has a good plan for you and marrying this man doesn’t sound a good plan. Right now it doesn’t seem like he sees a need to repent of any of the sinful or damaging behaviors he is involved in. Maybe one day he will but this ain’t your God given mess to clean up.
I think most sober minded individuals would say to you what I’m going to say to you; I strongly exhort you and encourage you to seek Christian counseling, speak to your pastors (do you have any), get support and leave this guy.
God loves you and He doesn’t ask you to partner with darkness.
