在‘刚强的爱’系列，同工曾睿敏姐妹向师母见证，从‘一路爱到底’课程的教导，帮助她突破了24年逐渐冷淡的婚姻瓶颈！
睿敏姐妹从小就对婚姻有一个憧憬，希望未来的丈夫是热情健谈的，但是她的丈夫却是属于‘默默付出’型的。所以渐渐的，因为丈夫无法满足她的期望，她对丈夫感觉有些失望。
婚后不久，他们夫妇就从怡保过来新加坡工作定居了4年，并生了一男一女。之后为了孩子的教育，就共同决定由睿敏姐妹带孩子回怡保生活，丈夫有时间就回去探望。他们一家就这样过了18年分隔两地的生活，所以两夫妇非常缺乏倾心沟通。
直到2018年，两个孩子都要到新加坡深造，睿敏姐妹就陪着孩子过来，重新一家相聚。因为夫妇过了18年的‘独居生活'，其实夫妻关系无形的冷淡了，虽然再次同住一个屋檐下，但是彼此还是很少互动与交谈，丈夫依然忙于工作，她也忙着照顾孩子。
直到这大半年的疫情阻断措施期，大家都居家办公，就被逼要面对彼此。因着过去沟通常有口角，所以他们以‘逃避’的方式相处，避免冲突，但是家庭氛围就显得冷漠。
睿敏姐妹感恩当时教会开办‘一路爱到底’的线上课程，开启她‘爱要忠于选择’，学习‘坚强的爱’，也让她发现自己在婚姻中，更是有许多的不足，例如：自负、批评、定罪等等。是她封闭心门，让丈夫无法亲近，而造成关系疏离。现在睿敏姐妹会以‘爱的眼光’看待丈夫，重新打开心门接受丈夫的一切，自己也选择‘走出来’，用爱重燃夫妻感情。
最后师母勉励睿敏姐妹，爱里是没有惧怕的，只要他们夫妇都勇敢刚强去爱，就能走进神祝福的婚姻里，孩子也可以在幸福的家庭，被建立蒙祝福！
Gloria Chen
With the "Strong Love" series, co-worker Sister Gloria testified to Shimu that the teachings from the "Keep Your Love On" course helped her break through her 24-year marriage!
Sister Gloria has a longing for marriage since she was a child. She hoped that her future husband will be passionate and good with words, but her husband is of the ‘silent giver’ type. So gradually, as her husband could not meet her expectations, she felt a little disappointed with her husband.
Soon after their marriage, the couple came from Ipoh to Singapore to work and settle for 4 years, and gave birth to a boy and a girl. Later, for the children's education, they jointly decided that Sister Gloria would take their children back to Ipoh, and the husband would go back to visit when he had time. The family lived in this way for 18 years, since they were separated in the two different places, the couples lacked truthful communication.
Until 2018, both children came to Singapore to further their studies, Sister Gloria accompanied the children and thus the family was reunited. However, because the couple lived separately for 18 years, the relationship between them has become cold. Although they lived under the same roof, they rarely interact and talk to each other. The husband was often busy with work and she would be busy taking care of the children.
Until this half-year period of the circuit breaker measures in place, everyone stayed at home and the couple was forced to face each other. Since in the past they often quarrel when they tried to communicate, now they try to avoid conflict in an ‘escaping’ manner, thus the family atmosphere appears indifferent.
Sister Gloria is grateful to the church for organising the online course ‘Keep Your Love On’, which opened up herself to ‘choose to love’ and learnt about 'strong love'. The lessons also helped her discover that she has many shortcomings in her marriage, such as being conceited, often criticise others, conviction, etc. She closed her heart and prevented her husband from getting close, which caused their relationship to be distant. Now Sister Gloria will look at her husband with a ‘loving perspective and reopen her heart to accept everything from her husband. She also chooses to ‘get out’ from the past and rebuild the relationship with her husband with love.
In the end, Shimu encouraged Sister Gloria to have no fear in love. As long as the couple are brave and strong to love, they can enter a marriage blessed by God, and their children live within a happy family and be blessed!
