Close to the Broken Hearted

by Beth Steffaniak



Hi, I’m Beth. I can genuinely say I'm close to the broken hearted. I’m a woman on a mission—a mission to help clean up messy marriages! Of course, I’m not saying that from a “better-than-thou” position.

Been there, done that—in a messy marriage, making huge marriage messes! I know what it feels like to be clueless about how to clean up my act. And because of that, I feel like I can be “Close to the Brokenhearted.” After all, that’s what it took for my eyes to be opened.

God broke my heart with the realization of how I had messed up my marriage. And it wasn’t until I could see my part, that I could yield my marriage to Christ. At that point, He was able to transform my messes into lessons—teaching me how to really love my husband and build a strong, healthy Christian marriage.

With those experiences and wisdom in hand, I hope you will come alongside me to learn from my mistakes, as well as listen to my heart that breaks for you too. So if you are hurting or have simply lost your way in your marriage or other Christian relationships, know that you are not alone. In fact, check back with me and you may see yourself in my stories and writings! After all, we “messy wives” are a lot alike!

Please, let me know how you are struggling and what questions you may have about your marriage, and who knows, (although confidentiality is always assured) you just might inspire my next article!
