Ours is purely a arranged marriage. Being a Tamilian from a typical South Indian christian family, we were engaged in Oct 2003 and married in Jan 2004. During that gap we never spoke to each other. All went on well. As a normal girl even I had dreams of newly married couple would have. But it was all different, he was always with friends and worked late night as he was in the IT field.
All alone in Dubai, no one to share my problems, the only person I had was our dear Lord. I used to talk to Him like He is my father and share each and everything that's happening in my day to day life. I waited patiently at Lord's feet like Job in the bible. Because this life was chosen by Him and I strongly believed that He will never let me down. Many of our times would be fighting and we would have no peace at home. But God really did make a change with a MIRACLE in my life after 9 yrs.
We have been married for 11years. We weren't romantic nor spiritually together. We have never read bible or knelt down for a family prayer. The times that we come before the Lord is when my husband's mother visit us. I was really upset & worried that we are not only cheating my Mother In Law but also our dear Lord. Days rolled by and I was always praying for a change in my husband. Though I prayed to God for a change in him but never initiated myself to call him or make him understand the value of oneness in God through joint prayers.
But our dear Lord, never leave his children and as its always said that He comes in search for His children to turn to him. This He did make it happen as we were childless for 9 yrs. We went to doctors for many check up etc. And finally as the word of God says. He provides everything in His own time, He did make me speak to my husband at this right moment. To be blessed parents, we have to first cling to our dear Lord who can make everything possible.
There were lots of ups and downs during those time but God was on our side & made us His children. We started to kneel & pray together and once we started to have the spiritual closeness everything came in place. I got conceived and was blessed with a beautiful baby girl. Till date I never understood how all this happened. What I was yearning for 9 yrs of my marriage, happened within a blink of an eye. By His Grace till date we kneel before our Almighty & thank Him in all that he does and gonna do in our life. We started to place Him amidst us in all doings and He guides us so beautifully.I praise and thank God for giving me such a beautiful family and we hope and pray that we always be a living testimony.
My learning from my experience is to obey our parent's choice. Never leave our dear Lord at any time. Hold on to Him until you get the blessing from Him like how we are to our earthly father. Always try to speak out your husband. If it's not possible or scared to speak, say a word of prayer and start the conversation and you will see wonders happening. Never forget to thank our dear Lord. Always thank him for each and everything that happens in life. Jesus Christ is Lord. Amen
