Marriage restored

My husband and I have lived overseas since 2012, and we have been married for 15 years. A couple of years ago we felt we needed to permanently relocate to a country in East Africa where we had lived on and off before. We were both excited about it, and were in a great season in marriage. 

As soon as we arrived, we experienced an intense season of spiritual attack on our marriage. Our relationship became marked by criticism, frustration, anger and irritability – no kindness, no benefit of the doubt. I would cry every night. We  married when we were both 20, and my husband and I both have strong personalities, but I think I had catered my personality around my husband. I am not a quiet, submissive person by nature – I am loud and a natural leader – but I think I have always tried to be more in the background. Some of that was due to my church culture growing up, and some because as a loud kid you get told to be quiet a lot. As I was stepping into who God has made me to be, it came alongside all these marriage woes. I knew it was a spiritual attack.
