When I was a child my grandmother regularly took my sisters and me to a Christian Science Sunday School. I remember that I enjoyed it very much, especially hearing that I was the beloved child of God. I am very grateful that my grandmother lovingly made sure we learned about God.
I turned off and on to what I was taught in Sunday School as I grew up, but I never turned wholeheartedly to God until I was married. After a year of marriage my husband and I were experiencing some rough challenges. At the time, I didn't see how our marriage was going to make it, and I was afraid we would become another divorce statistic.
My husband, who also had attended a Christian Science Sunday School, felt it was time to straighten out the situation through prayer. We got in touch with a Christian Science practitioner to support us. We were soon on the road to a new and much better life. Things didn't change overnight; it took some time for the healing to come. What I found very helpful and what I clung to every day was a passage from the chapter "Marriage" in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 67): "Hoping and working, one should stick to the wreck, until an irresistible propulsion precipitates his doom or sunshine gladdens the troubled sea."
