JOHN: Oh, I brought a ton of baggage. I mean there is one good thing that came in from my side and that was the fact that my parents were married. They were very happily married. I mean my dad just passed away two years, or two months ago and they were married 66 years. But what I brought into the marriage was I had an addiction to pornography. I had a temper problem and I was a control freak. And so you know you put that together with what Lisa brought in, and what Lisa didn’t mention was that her dad left her right about the time we got married and ran away and lived with a woman for the rest of his life and the two drank alcohol together. And so you put that together and that is the absolute perfect storm! And the problem was that when we used to sit as a young couple in the services we found that we felt like we were utter failures. And I’m going back to what we mentioned earlier. And so we couldn’t relate to the messages. We just thought we were absolutely a failure and the reason that we’re doing this right now is because we want people to know that you can have a really bad situation and God can heal it. And I think that’s what Lisa and I are so passionate about and that’s why we stepped out to do this. But yeah, there was a perfect storm and there was a lot of fighting.
SID: Lisa, tell me one of the worst incidents that occurred in your marriage. When all this, when these two personalities I mean you both are pretty strong personalities! If you didn’t have all the baggage you would have had problems. Lisa, tell me, tell me one thing.
LISA: You know there was, there was a time period where John and I kind of reached an impasse. We were in an argument. And Sid, I was so upset that I took off my engagement ring and I said to him you know what? We’re married but we’re not engaged! And for 18 months I pulled, I know it’s ridiculous, but for 18 months I just kept pulling away from John. And he was really frustrated with me. I was really frustrated. We kept bringing up the argument. Our kids were like please don’t do this and then I remember I was alone with God praying. And I think John was in Sweden and I was like God, I just can’t keep living like this. I just feel so hopeless. I feel like I have nowhere to go. I have no one I can talk to. You know I can’t I don’t want to dishonor my husband but I mean he’s I’m really hurting here. And he’s not nice. And I remember Jesus saying to me Tell me I’m enough for you. And I said Wait, I don’t want to tell you You’re enough for me because if I tell You You’re enough for me then You’re going to say John’s not going to change. I want him to change. And He said I need you to tell Me I’m enough for you, Lisa. And so I began to pray and I just started saying it at first it didn’t make any sense. I was like Jesus, You’re enough for me. You’re enough for me. And then it spilled over to You’re more than enough for me! And you know I just believe that Jesus came to make good marriages better and broken marriages whole. I don’t think there’s anybody that doesn’t have a need in their marriage. And there’ll be different seasons but that was probably my most painful season. John was travelling a lot and it was over a decade ago and I just felt so alone, so isolated, so unsupported and I was completely frustrating him.
