- We partied a lot.

He had a lotta money to spend

and that was usually a new outfit

every weekend so we cango out to the clubs.

It was money on alcohol.

It was money on drugs.

We were smokin' a lotta weed.

We were doin' cocaine.

That was pretty much the first years

of our relationship together.

- [Reporter] Omar and Danielle Gonzales

brought a history ofdrug and alcohol abuse

into their relationship.

Omar was also addictedto sex and pornography.

- I was not thinkin' about her.

I was thinkin' about myself.

It was all about me.

It was me leaning on what I wanted,

instant gratification to meet my needs,

getting drunk, druggin',watchin' porn, having sex.

- [Reporter] The couple datedon and off for seven years.

When Danielle found out she was pregnant

they decided to get married.

Danielle's partying life slowed down,

but Omar's did not.

- We had really had arocky year that year,

felt like we were both kinda goin'

in different directions.

Our priorities, our goals,they weren't in line

as a married couple.

They weren't in line as a family.

- [Reporter] Danielle didn't see any hope

for their marriage and left Omar.

- When I realized that she was gone,

my marriage was about to be gone,

I started realizing thatit was me the problem,

that I needed something bigger to help me.

- [Reporter] Omar searchedfor something bigger

and found it attending a friend's church.

- The guy that wasteaching or facilitating

the class started talking about the power

of the Holy Spirit.

I still remember that.

He started thinking about,talking about, the power

what he does, what the Holy Spirit does

when he dwells in youand he's your companion

and every day and all of a sudden

I felt something really deep in my heart

and I stopped the class and I said,

guys, wait a minute, wait a minute.

I want that.

I want what you guys have.

I wanna commit my life to Christ.

I prayed the good confessionto accept Christ in my heart.

It was the greatest moment of my life

to know Jesus personally.

Two weeks later I got baptized

and I continued seekinghim, reading every day

the Bible, reading his word.

- [Reporter] Several months had passed

and Danielle saw a change in Omar.

- I could tell that hiswords and his voice,

it wasn't coming from aplace of anger any more.

It wasn't coming from aplace of I would say hate

any more, which I feltlike for a long time

that's what our levels ofcommunication were at and I

just felt like it was better.

- He put that desire forto restore the marriage,

because that's what I ultimatelywanted is my marriage.

But, alongside I discoveredJesus that gave me

a bigger desire for him, for his kingdom,

for humanity, not just my marriage.

I needed to see thatcompassion that Jesus Christ

seeks in us every day.

I needed to model that.

I needed to love my wife theway Jesus loves the church.

- He shared with me that histhought process is different,

that he wants to be better, that he wants

to really grow as this new person,

a servant, a follower of Christ.

And, that was never apriority in our marriage.

That was never a priority in my life

as a child growin' up and I feel like

it wasn't really in his.

But, I knew it wasn't coming from nowhere.

I could tell that attendance at church

and his willingness to be baptized,

it was coming from agenuine, a genuine heart.

- [Reporter] Omar and Daniellemoved back in together

and he eventually led her to Christ.

They have left theirlife of partying behind

and today their marriage is thriving

with Jesus in the center of it.

- I am so grateful that Godhas restored my marriage

because we can really focus on our calling

for the kingdom and we're grateful

for what he's done in our life,

not just restoring our marriage.

We get to do his will, whichis preaching the gospel

to people that don't know him.

- I've lived in a marriagethat was of the world

and I now have that samemarriage that is of Christ

and I absolutely believe that you can

get through it and you canget through it stronger.

It's just, what is yourwillingness to give grace?

Do you really grasp that concept?

Do you know that you're not perfect

and that our Father gives all of us grace.

But, as long as we learn andwe move on and we put him

at the cornerstone of our lives,

we can absolutely get through it.

- Jesus is not done with your marriage.

God is not done with it.

God created your marriageto be a relationship

and a covenant between youand God and your spouse,

so don't give up.
