The Foundation of Marriage Restoration

Pastor Hery Alonso often emphasizes that restoring marriage starts with returning to God’s design. Marriage is not just a contract between two people but a sacred covenant established by God. When couples face struggles, the first step is to seek God’s wisdom and healing power.

The Bible reminds us in Ephesians 4:2-3 (NKJV):

"With all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."

This verse highlights the qualities needed to rebuild a marriage: humility, patience, and love. Pastor Alonso teaches that couples must commit to these attitudes daily, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide their hearts toward forgiveness and unity.

Practical Steps to Healing Marriages

Restoring a marriage requires intentional actions, not just good intentions. Pastor Alonso encourages couples to:

• Pray together regularly: Prayer invites God’s presence and power into the relationship. It opens hearts to healing and understanding.

• Communicate honestly and kindly: Speaking truth with love helps clear misunderstandings and builds trust.

• Seek counseling and community support: At RiseUp Outreach Church, we offer marriage workshops and small groups that provide a safe space to grow and heal.

• Focus on serving each other: Putting your spouse’s needs before your own reflects Christ’s love and strengthens the bond.

  
  

Pastor Alonso reminds us, “Marriage is a journey of grace. When we lean on God, even the hardest seasons can become testimonies of His faithfulness.”

Scripture as a Guide for Renewal

The Word of God is a powerful tool for restoring marriage. Couples can find hope and direction in verses like:

• Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV):

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

This passage encourages couples to bring their worries to God and receive His peace.

• 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NKJV):

"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

This classic description of love serves as a blueprint for how spouses should treat one another.
