God Stopped Me from Leaving with Nicole Berlucchi of "Magnify Love"

“You’re going to stay in this marriage.” This was the message Nicole Berlucchi heard from God.

Before this, Nicole was convinced she was doing most of the work at home and in her marriage. Her friends told her she was a “saint” for putting up with her husband. To top it off, Nicole’s husband was unwilling to go to therapy.

Nicole was sure God was on her side.

Nicole left her husband for four days to discern if she was going to leave him. While Nicole entered this time of discernment relatively certain she was headed for divorce, God made it clear that Nicole needed to change and give her marriage a chance.

Nicole engaged in a very difficult season of healing that resulted in the transformation of her heart and marriage.

Listen to this mini-retreat in a podcast in Mamas in Spirit’s Lenten Series: HEAL. Allow God to help you remove barriers to love and be loved.

Nicole Berlucchi is the author of “Magnify Love: Unlocking the Heart of Jesus in Your Marriage and Your Life.”

A Little Bit of Hope with Michelle Huntley, LMFT

The deepest desire of Michelle Huntley’s heart was to get married and have children. Yet for many years this dream was not realized and Michelle struggled.

Michelle describes how not finding the right man to marry touched on a childhood wound of feeling unworthy and unloveable. Michelle felt drawn to be silent, pray and trust the Lord in her pain. Hear about Michelle’s journey and how God healed this wound with His love.

Michelle is now preparing for the Sacrament of marriage. Please pray for Michelle and her fiancee!
