Sri Wahyuni, known as Ibu Yuni, used to believe that the difficulties in her family stemmed entirely from the behavior of her husband and her second child. Her daughter was difficult to manage, while her husband was distant and rarely communicated when working away from home. After participating in The Parenting Project, Ibu Yuni realized that family restoration had to begin with her own attitude. She stopped comparing her two children and learned to forgive her husband instead of harboring resentment during disagreements. As she applied these principles, her daughter became more understanding, her husband stopped smoking to set a better example, and he began calling home regularly without being prompted.

Across the region
In Indonesia, the quiet work of family restoration is unfolding through a mother’s willingness to let God transform her own heart first. By choosing to forgive her husband, stop comparing her children, and embrace a gentler attitude, she became the catalyst for healing within her home. God met her commitment to personal change by softening her daughter’s heart and prompting her husband to communicate more deeply and lead by example. This testimony serves as a gentle reminder that we are never alone in our struggles for family unity, as God is actively working in the quiet, private spaces of our homes to rebuild relationships. It demonstrates that when one person steps forward in faith and humility, the Holy Spirit can ripple outward to restore an entire household.
