Matt’s story

Stories

Two years ago I felt like ending it all, my marriage was on the rocks because of mutual ignorance of each other’s wants and needs, We had moved house twice in a year, I had to live away from home for 12 months and my mother died 2 months after we moved the second time. I didn’t care anymore.

Several weeks later I was watching a play at the bridge, dreading going home when I had a bright flash in my eye. After contemplating this I decided, given my current state, It may well be God saying “Ok bud, come with me, lets sort this out”.

It took several weeks to sort myself out mentally, I had rather fallen to pieces in the previous months. Since then I have viewed life in a very different, better way. I feel comfortable with myself, my relationship with my wife has never been better. After several discussions she has also changed and we are both the better for it.

We went to New Wine which was fantastic, my whole attitude is whatever I do, I don’t have to do it alone.

Matt, 42 year old,  Engineer
