    About this ebook

    Do you have marriage problems? This book is going to take you on a Spiritual Journey to Restore and Rebuild your marriage. It is about the Power of Prayer and the Power of God. I did not know how to pray or fight for my marriage!

    My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6

    Bob and I have three beautiful children and wore masks in our church and in public. We were hiding all our hurts, our pain, our anger, our fighting and strife that was going on in our home. We were Christians, but we did not know HOW OR WHAT to do to have a healthy marriage. This got worse. Bob and I allowed the enemy (Satan) to come into our home and destroy our marriage.

    This book will share from my heart to yours to NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR SPOUSE! I did. I divorced Bob due to unfaithfulness, and with the encouragement of pastors and counselors who only saw the impossible circumstances of our marriage.

    Then one special day in my life after my divorce, my Lord God spoke Hope and Encouragement to me. He wanted me to pray and fight for my marriage. I had given up on God and on Bob. I found out that:

    For nothing is impossible with God. Luke 1:37

    Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished! Luke 1:45

    This book will teach you principles how to pray and believe that God can Rebuild, Restore, and Reconcile your marriage. Do not worry about all the problems that are going on in your marriage at this time or even if you are divorced.

    Everything is possible for him who believes. Mark 9:23

    The Spiritual Journey Toward A Healed Marriage - Charlyne Steinkamp

    THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY TOWARD A HEALED MARRIAGE

    By Charlyne Steinkamp

    Have faith in God. Jesus answered. I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

    Mark 11:22-23

    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

    The words Thank You seem so inadequate when you have special people who help print and publish a book. When you write a book, there is an inner desire to write down what you want to share from your heart. But then you need help doing the typing, the retyping, the editing, the proofing, and the graphics for the cover. Someone must spend hours checking the Scriptures.

    Every person working on this manuscript volunteered their time and talents. I pray that the Lord will bless each of them in a very special way.

    Bob and I are very blessed knowing some fantastic people with super skills. Denise Ramsay helped type the manuscript and worked with the Scriptures. Dennis Wingfield, Lorrie Meininger and Kathie C. Johnson, a Professor at Liberty University, each shared their time and expertise proofing the manuscript. Beatriz Montalvo and Beverly Dillon-Petruschke, two special standers also helped with the manuscript. Thank you all so very much!

    I had many people looking for the picture that I had in my mind for the book's cover. My daughter, Lori's mother-in-law, and my friend, Linda Lassen, had visited Yosemite National Park in California. She gave me her pictures and I found just the right one that spoke to my heart and illustrated the scripture on the cover of the book. God is so faithful! He puts all the pieces of the puzzle together in His perfect timing. Thank you Linda for going to California on vacation!

    You can have a picture, but unless you have the right person to make it come alive in color, it is only a photograph. Don W. Hardin from Image House Designs, Inc. used his talents and expertise to make the beautiful cover of our book. This is the third book cover that Don has done for us.

    Last year at this time, I doubted if this book might ever be finished and printed. I personally had to go on my own Spiritual Journey with my Lord. I found out seventeen years ago, before you can share a testimony, you have to go through a trial.

    This past year I had to apply all the principles and precepts I have shared in this book to my own personal life. Thank you Lord, Your Word never fails! God is faithful, He will never you leave you and He will guide you every step of the way. Thank you Lord, for allowing this book to be printed. May it bring glory and honor to You alone!

    DEDICATION

    I want to dedicate this book to the Prayer Warriors around the world who believe in the power of prayer. We have Prayer Warriors from many countries, praying and believing for God's special touch on marriages, families, children, grandchildren and all the trials and circumstances that come when the enemy tries to kill, steal and destroy marriages and families.

    Prayer Warriors are special people as they do not look at the circumstances, but keep their eyes on their awesome mighty Lord God who created the earth, who can part the Red Sea and who can move mountains, if we would only believe.

    We have Pray 24 on our website, where people can sign up to pray 15 minute daily for hurting families around the world. Each person is sacrificing their time to stand for the sanctity and the holiness of marriage. God created marriage and He hates divorce. Should we be any different? May we continue to pray in agreement for a mighty revival, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to touch, restore, rebuild and reconcile all couples, families and children around the world. Sin has destroyed families, but God sent His Son as a sacrifice for all sinners, including our loved ones. May we never give up on any one person. God does heal and restore sinners. God does answer prayers every day!

    Rejoice Marriage Ministries would probably not be in existence today if it were not for all the Prayers Warriors that have prayed for Bob and me, and this ministry since its birth.

    No words can ever say Thank You enough. You are very special people! May the Lord bless you abundantly!

    God bless you,

    Charlyne

    FOREWORD

    We prodigals do not forget what we know when we run from God. We may attempt to put His truths aside, but they keep darting out right in front of us, at the most unexpected times, while we travel on a dead end road, searching for a place called Happiness. That destination will continue to escape us until we turn right. Please start the Spiritual Journey my wife is mapping out for you. Your mate's path can best be changed by first changing your own path.

    Yes, there is a way home. That journey is mapped out in God's Word, the Holy Bible, and our Navigator, who will never fail us, is our Lord Jesus Christ. May God bless us as we travel His way.

    Bob Steinkamp

    GOING ON A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY!

    Do you have marriage problems? Are you separated or divorced? Bob and I had marriage problems seventeen years ago, to the extent that we got divorced. I am writing this book to help people around the world to believe in the power of God and the power of prayer. My prayer is that every word I write show you that nothing is too hard for your Lord God to fix. Yes, I said nothing is too hard for the Creator, the Counselor and the Great Physician who can touch and change your heart and then go touch and work on your spouse's heart.

    God created marriage and hates divorce. Our nation and churches are compromising God's standard by winking at the consequences of divorce to our families, to our children, to our loved ones and to our churches. The church is not able to be the Critical Care Unit for the wounded and broken hearts as divorce is rampart within the church. We are going to discuss throughout this book the reasons why spouses are leaving home and what you and I can do about separation and divorce destroying our homes and loved ones.

    The Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him...Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man...For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united
