This is one of the wildest marriage stories we’ve ever seen.

When Elisa walked into our couples workshop, she said, “I would rather die than stay married to this man.” She had already had four affairs. Marcos, her husband, had just retaliated with one of his own. They had already divorced once, remarried, and were still stuck in a cycle of resentment, control, and disconnection.

By all accounts, their marriage was over.

But what happened next turned everything around—and what they learned during that process could change your marriage too.

This case study isn’t just about betrayal. It’s about transformation—how love, humility, and the right tools helped two people rewrite their story against all odds.

If your marriage feels hopeless, their journey may be the spark of hope you need.
