From toxic relationships to an Amazing Husband

From toxic relationships to an Amazing Husband

Hi dear Greta, I just want to tell you that I’m very grateful I met you on youtube video. And I would like to share to you my story about how I was before I found you and after.
It was in 2017, I was in a toxic relationship (fuckfriend relationship where I wanted to be more than that and the guy didn’t). I was very far from God. I say that because I was born in a Christian family and I decided to follow Christ since I was a little girl. I went to Bible school when I was 18, went to many missionary trips. And I started to pursue guys since I was 18. But, it never worked. Guys were not attracted to me, or were turned off by my pursuing attitude (but I didn’t know it could happen). As long as I can remember I had a low esteem for myself as I lived a sexual abuse when I was 6 and it really had an impact on me, also one of my brother was bullying me as he was a bit narcissistic. It was very hard for me from the start. But luckily for me I had Jesus by my side.
At the age of 22, I decided to consult a Christian therapist because I had suicidal thoughts, God conviced me to go and make things right in my head, that it was something I couldn’t get out only by myself, I had to see a therapist. We worked together for 7 years!! But… At the age of 24, I decided that I was fed up with the way I never had any relationship (and I said to God: well, you make me wait for too long, I’ll take things into my hands). That when I met that guy with whom I had a toxic fuckfriend relationship. I was not better I was worse than ever. But you know God, He never gives up on us! The Holy Spirit was talking me out of that relationship, but it took me 1 and a half year to really cut off completely that relationship. Just when I was thinking of cutting that toxicity in my life, that when I met (my now husband)!!!
When I met that man (Matthieu), I saw how he treated me, even though I was just a friend of his family. (our families knew each other for a decade at that time).
That’s when I saw his behaviour that I thought, Lord, I want a man like this. He was so respectful, he was attentive and listened to me, etc.
I made that decision in my heart and started to cut off that toxic relationship. The more I was doing that, the more I was getting closer to the Christian guy.
But, I didn’t knew about MY toxic behavior: wearing my heart on a sleeve, pursuing, neediness, etc. Guess what, I pursued Matthieu for almost 2 years. In the middle of 2019, that’s when I invited him for a coffee to tell him about my feelings for him. This is when he really was annoyed by me. He was soooooooooo turned off by that, that it ruined even the friendship we had together, he took his distances, was really cold with me when we saw each other at events, etc.
That is in 2019 that one of my friend talked to me about your videos. That’s when I started to understand how wrong I was, how pursuing the man was not MY place, that I was usurping the role God gave the man to do that.
And this was when I realized that I had done sooooo many mistakes with Matthieu. And In the month of may 2019 I started to stop praying for him AND stop writting, going to him in events, etc. For me, when I looked back, I realized that I did too much mistakes for it to even come back as a friendship. So I let it in God’s hands. I was a massage therapist working in a clinic at that time and God was putting a desire in my heart to do another missionary trip. It was a time for me that I wanted to give completely to Him. So I went in Mexico in march 2020, in an orphanage home with girls who lived abuses. God healed some other things in my heart at that time. Yes it was the pandemic, but I stayed there until June. While I was there I sent a last message to Matthieu asking him forgiveness for how I behaved with him. He was very surprised and happy that I could see his side of the medal.
I continued to watch videos, lives, etc to educate my self on man/woman relationship. I prayed God for you Greta because I recognized in you a gift God gave you to discern, speak the truth about woman and I saw a lot of wise things in your speech. I prayed for you to meet God and you did!! I was so happy.
Anyhow, when I was in Mexico, I met a man. He was Christian and I behaved high value (my therapist helped me to not pursue man, but God and to find my value in God first, putting Him on the throne of my heart ❤️). He was very attracted to me and was started dating. My trip was coming to an end so we decided to do long distance relationship (while the pandemic and we didn’t know when we could see eachother again because Canada was very strict, etc)
We were in a relationship for 6 months in total. He was treating me like a queen, he sent me presents for each months to celebrate our relationship… But at the end, he broke up with me.
He said that God convinced him by dreams that he wasn’t the man for me. That he hid things from me, etc.
It broke me inside. Because it was my first real and healthy relationship. I didn’t understand. And the time it happened, I started my own massage company and I was focusing on that. My therapist was finished with the work we did together, it was a moment of big change and challenge.
That’s when I said to God, you know, l love You, I understand my life is not my own, I don’t control anything and if You want to, I’ll just be a missionary, You’re my husband and the girls will be my children. That’s how I thought. So I was focused on that for 6 months after the breakup.
What I didn’t say was that while I was in that other relationship, the grandmother of Matthieu died. And his sister asked me to play the piano for the funeral service as she was going to sing. I said yes. I was nervous to see Matt, but I said to myself I’m in a relationship, i have goals and ambitions, I don’t have to feel ashamed anymore.
That day, when he saw me , he thought : “how could I let such a woman go?” And he prayed God that if I was going to be single again, he would run after me.
6 months after the breakup, it was in the end of may 2021, Matthieu asked me out for a walk and he wanted to be in a relationship with me! I didn’t know what to say on the spot, but I said that I would think about it, cause  had doubts, it didn’t fit with the plan I had for myself and my life in my head. So I prayed and wrote all my questions I had for him. We met again, and I said yes to the relationship. I behaved high value, and guess what, he proposed after 4 months. We married in February 2022! God has a way to work in our lives.
And we had the conviction to wait for marriage before having sex, and we did!! It was the best decision! We were blessed to do that.
Next week I’m going to give birth to our first baby.
So yeah, I just wanting to give you my testimony that your work helped me and still is helping me in my relationship with him. He treats me like a queen everyday, he says he loves me everyday and tells me I’m the top star ⭐💗. I thought everything was lost with him, that my mistakes were too great, but God restored everything. We live a happy marriage (for sure there are some challenges) but we are growing together to be more like Jesus everyday.
So thank you and God bless your day!
