My name is Geoffrey Luntz. This is my (shortened) testimony. I didn't want to post a novel.
In the spring of 2001, I married the women of my dreams, my best friend and confidant. She was and still is all a man could ever hope for or ever want. She is bright, articulate, funny and grounded in Christ. I marvel at her everyday.
Shortly after our wedding our first son was born. We where well on our way to the perfect dream life. Things could not have been better, and stayed that way until the fall of 2003, when four little words shocked me to my very core: "I think I love him" is all she said.
What followed was the year of nightmare, despair, utter chaos and a gut wrenching inner turmoil. I thought there was no way out, no light, no hope for my family.
Until...on the side of the highway, in the middle of rush hour traffic, I gave it all to Christ. I placed all my sorrow, pain, and insecurity at his feet. With the help of Christ, a few key people, and a better understanding of myself our marriage was save literally at the doors of the courthouse 3 minutes before the divorce was to be finalized.
I understand that this highly condensed outline of my story hardly does justice to the wealth of knowledge I have been working on for the past 6 years. I can report that my family is intact and more wonderful than I could have possibly foreseen.
I come to this forum because I believe in my heart of hearts that I can help. I have walked threw the valley and survived for all the better. I come to share my personal insight, failures (avoid them) and successes.
I am not a professional, I am a carpenter by trade. I do promise to use all my personal experience to help those of you that are struggling.
We never went to a counselor/psychiatrist. The medical professions with the highest divorce rate are psychiatrist/marriage counselors. Look it up:
