“Till death do us part”-words I vowed before God, family, and friends. I believed marriage meant enduring every storm, no matter how painful. I promised to stand by my husband through better and worse, but when the “worse” came, it was beyond what I imagined. My marriage became unhealthy, yet I felt trapped by my vow. I needed God’s Word to teach me what it truly means to be loved, safe, and protected-not just to silently endure pain. This journey is about moving from hurt to healing and freedom, with God guiding me through the storm.
