What is a "Practiced Husband"?
A "practiced" Husband is someone that marries you out of obligation or contract. There are a few scenarios that play a role in this action:
-
You've been "shacking up" with your significant other too long.
-
The church is commenting on you fornicating-and how you should stop.
-
Or you married out of obligation due to a child being on the way
-
Marriage under duress, or obligation.
What is a "Promised Husband"?
A "promised" husband is one comes into your life to fulfill all that was broken from your previous marriage. One that loves God as himself, and willing to love you the way God intended.
-
The man that God has ordained for your life
-
The man that is divinely aligned and created for you,
-
The husband that honors the covenant of God towards you.
Anthology Mission
The reason for this anthology is very personal to me. Many years ago, I was married to my "Practiced Husband" and experienced many pitfalls before the marriage ended.
Marriage is more than a mere contract—it is a sacred covenant, a divine union between two individuals joined together under the sight and blessing of God. For those who find themselves entering into remarriage, it’s important to understand that the past was not a failure, but preparation. The previous marriage served as the “practice,” shaping and refining you for the promise that God had waiting all along. In this covenant, love, commitment, and purpose align, as two souls come together in faith, ready to embrace God’s ultimate design for their union. Remarriage is not the end of your story—it is the beautiful beginning of the covenant you were destined for.
It may not always be easy, and you may want to give up. Just know that your story is BIGGER than you.
In light of my upcoming 15th anniversary, I want to honor my husband, and other women to tell their story on how they went from "Practice to Promise" in their marriage!
