Michele Colon Ruined Our Marriage Pt.3
In Part 2 of this series, we learned the fact that the former husband and Michele’s relationship grew stronger, in part, due to their counseling with the Pastor of the World Mission Society Church of God. Michele’s former husband tells how he made it his life goal to live a happy life with Michele in their newly purchased house, following God and the Bible at the Church of God.
Now in Part 3 of this series, we will learn more about the issues between Michele and her then husband, and how the Church again helped them during their trials.
Everything seemed to be going well in my relationship with Michele. We had our wedding, which the Church members helped us prepare. We went on our honeymoon. Contrary to the allegation that Church members cannot go on vacation, Michele and I went to Mexico.
Once we returned from our honeymoon everything changed. On a Tuesday, Michele called me at work to tell me that she needed to show me something. She said that she had been looking for more evidence to show that Constantine did indeed abolish the Sabbath, but she had come across some other websites that spoke against the Church of God. I remember her mentioning that the Church “lied” to her in regards to some of its teachings.
After speaking to her, we decided not to attend service that very night. I remember Michele being very angry and stating that she felt like a fool for attending the Church, but I on the other hand felt lost. Lost because I knew that everything I had learned until that point was clear and it was coming from the Bible. I knew that nowhere else would I be able to see and study the Bible in this way, and my time as a Church member had filled me with a lot of happiness in my life. I felt that there had to be some sort of explanation and reason, why at that particular moment, it seemed not to make sense.
We decided to go and meet with the Pastor in order to get answers for our questions and express the concerns we had. As we met with the Pastor and some other church members, I felt satisfied with all the answers that were provided, while Michele was not as satisfied at all. But by the end of the meeting, we both decided we would continue to attend the Church.
Although Michele agreed to continue attending the Church, I felt as if she did not want to remain a member. The questions that Michele presented to the Church from that point on were not sincere, and even if she was given an accurate answer, Michele did not try to understand the answer. It seemed from that point on, her mission was to make me agree with her completely in an effort to make me leave the Church.
After this, we began arguing nonstop. No matter what we may have been discussing or arguing about, by the end of it, Michele would bring something up about the Church. Every night, I felt like I had to defend my faith to my wife, who did not want to respect nor tolerate my religious beliefs. She continuously said spiteful things in order to hurt my feelings. This was her tactic to get me to leave the Church.
It seemed that the more I became involved with the Church, the more Michele attacked me. Now that I look back, I wonder sometimes if she was just using the Church to get what she wanted, which was for us to get married. Michele had this obsession with marriage, she always talked about the fact that her Mom was going to get married a second time, before she even got married once.
After several months of intense and increasingly hurtful arguments, I went to the Pastor many times, determined to speak to him about my plan to leave Michele, but on every occasion, he consoled me and advised me not to leave her, but instead to stay with her and even give her more love, in the hope that we would find a common ground where we could both be happy in our marriage.
Taking the Pastor’s advice, I tried to spend more time with her for months thereafter, while attempting to keep my faith in God despite her objection, but nothing was good enough for her. She would not be happy until I left the Church. She wanted me to make a decision, which I thought was unfair, she wanted me to decide either her or the Church. Why should I give up either one of the things that I love? Why can’t I have my wife and my faith both be part of my life?
Michele Colón made her former husband’s life miserable, even asking for an unreasonable demand. In society, there are many couples who have different beliefs, yet they remain happily married. If that wasn’t enough, Michele introduced him to the Church, but now that Michele didn’t want to be part of the Church, she wanted him to leave also. When he decided to remain a member, Michele couldn’t tolerate it and she made it her goal to make him leave the Church.
In Part 4 of our series, we will begin to learn how Michele’s behavior was the main factor in the demise of her marriage.

Wow! Michele just seems like such a control freak. Why is it that if she’s not satisfied, then she makes it her mission to take him out of the church as well?? Why does he have to leave? Just like the article mentioned, there are many couples who share different beliefs but you don’t see people trying to convince their spouse not to believe in something! That goes to show she was just trying to control him and make him do what she wanted him to do. Nowhere in part 1, 2 or 3 do I see the church taking any part in trying to ruin their marriage. Looks to me Michele used the church for her own gain and SHE
was the one that ruined her own marriage by being a weird control freak. I hope people are able to see how so many people form lies and rumors about the church. However, someone has to fulfill the not so good side of prophecy. -
It is all making sense. Her motive all along was to get married. Once she got what she wanted her motive was exposed. I feel sorry for her. She went through all of that trouble and now she is right back to square one. In her misery she constantly blames the church. People should take responsibility for their own actions that is what mature adults do.
Thank you for the article, and sharing her husband’s perspective. I have learned over the years there is always at least 2 sides to every story.

Wow its really unfortunate that her husband had to be subjected to this when it was his wife that introduced him to the church in the first place. I know that the church helps lots of couples get through very difficult situations through God’s teachings of love and consideration for each other. I’m soooo happy this website exist to put the false accusations to rest!

This story is so sad and stressful. She initially invited her husband and then became upset because he was faithful! This makes no sense on her part. This shows that the he was even becoming a better man by being patient and not reacting by leaving her, but wanted to work things out-and she still rejected his efforts, because he refused to give up church! So many other married couples have different faiths, and yet they stay together and work through their differences. It sounds like Michelle Colon just wanted an excuse to make her husband at the time, leave church, and only do what she wanted. That’s called manipulation and no regard for the other party.

This just goes to show how the world is lacking so much in love and respect for each other . If we truly followed the teachings of God we would know not only how to truly love and respect one another but also how to recognize the truth from falsehood by keeping true faith in God and following the teachings of God . Not to mention how people in this world tend to want only what is convenient for them and not considering others . It is truly sad how Michele is so quick to blame everyone around her including the church instead of looking at herself and admit that she herself needed to change . Even her husband made lots of efforts to please her and instead of being thankful she became angry and even more demanding . I give all thanks to God for allowing me and my family to understand the value of love, respect , patience and most of all the value of true Faith in God .

God Bless You ! This article is touching because there are many who go through these same kind of trials. No matter what kind of negativity may arise there is always a positive side. Like a battery there are two sides a positive and negative side depends on how you view things. The husband was always positive and the wife was always negative. NIV Live: A Bible Experience
1 Thessalonians 5:15-18
15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
16 Rejoice always,
17 pray continually,
18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.Its not possible to be happy and give thanks and live a life of Christianity if we view everything as negative. I hope God will Bless Her to have a change of heart and view things more positive and God Bless the husband for staying strong in the Truth and continue to Please God.

I’m so glad to be able to understand his part of the story. Her behavior is not normal!
-
Wow!! How can she claim that the church of God broke up her marriage! Even her former husband said that he wanted to leave her but Pastor counseled him to STAY with her and give her MORE LOVE! Everyone needs to read these articles! Can’t wait for part 4
-
First of all I can’t even imagine, asking my husband to pick between me or his faith… It’s unreasonable. From the beginning in the World mission society Church of God I have learned the importance of family and respect. To attack and make false allegations about a CHURCH, in order to raise awareness about a person matter is very low.

Wow when reading this ! I can truly see how true the saying is misery needs company!!!! She was so misreble trying to analyze what was so clear in the bible that she tried to drag her ex husband out of the church. I mean come on they studied the SAME EXACT THING!! If the marriage was so important to her she would’ve tried to make it work instead she just tried to stop his faith. Through this part 3 we can see that the ONLY one trying to save the marriage is our Brother!! Meaning MICHELLE RUINED THE MARRIAGE!! The church if anything was the one thing that even helped the marriage last the length it did. Like all the other claims michelle’s claims are all NOT TRUE!!!

Wow the truth always comes out .

I am really glad to see this post. Unfortunately so many people have the wrong idea about the Church of God because of false accusations against the church. This post clears up many of those false accusations. Breathe of fresh air-

Personally im not married but through this story i realize how important it is to stay positive. The husband was always positive and the wife was always negitive.She was negitive after she read articles online and even though the questions were answered she continued to be negative and forgot about what God did for her. The Husband however had a postive mind and remembered all the Truth which is positive light and remembered what God did for him.NIV Live: A Bible Experience
1 Thessalonians 5:15-18
15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
16 Rejoice always,
17 pray continually,
18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.Recieving negativity from others will stray you away from keeping this beautiful Truth. There was an old stroy about Two Wolfs. An elder told a kid there are two wolfs living inside you one who is white and pure and positive. The other is black and evil and negative. And they are constantly fighting inside you. And the kid asked what one wins? The Elder replied the one you feed. Like this we should always think positive in every situation. I thank God for this article as well as the Church of God God Bless You All !

Oh my, this series is very epic. Recently I heard a member mention something the other day while we were talking. He said that the internet sifts out those who are children of God. As I thought more about that, the more I see that it is true. After we were baptized, my wife and I went online and saw negative things. I believed the Bible so even though I saw those things online, I wanted to continue to study. My wife on the other hand called a friend and was talking to her about the church. I asked her at that time if it made sense to talk to someone who haven’t studied, and said that we should bring all of our questions to the church and see if they could answer them. All of our answers to the questions we had were seen through the Bible, and I am so thankful that we decided to continue to attend the Church of God. When I read this article I can’t help but to think this could have been us, but God had mercy on us and protected us, just like God protect Michelle’s former husband. But on the other hand, it seems like her motives were different as she made it her mission to go against God’s true church and tried to use her husband in the process. Thankfully he is still keeping his faith, and God will definitely reward him in heaven.
