Herna and Henk ten Cate

Relationship and family experience contributors

Herna and Henk ten Cate are jointly credited with The Love Miracle in Inspired Miracles. Their contribution draws on a relationship shaped by family responsibilities, health challenges, bereavement and a move to Australia.

The chapter begins with advice they received while preparing for marriage: a lasting relationship needs ways to deal with both expected and unexpected difficulties. They describe how that idea became important when their young daughter was diagnosed with diabetes.

Later experiences, including the loss of their fathers and the work of moving countries, required them to understand each other's different responses. Their account places importance on making room for grief, sharing practical responsibilities and discussing expectations before a crisis decides the routine for them.

Faith, commitment and continued learning are central to their joint biography. The page preserves the shared name and attribution printed in the book, with no invented individual career histories. Their contribution is a personal account of the structures and conversations they found useful in family life.
