No, not a new husband with no history of treating her like shit, but the same shitty husband, who has magically become non-shitty and suddenly gives her foot rubs and makes her ice-cream sundaes.
Through the power of prayer, and learning never to criticize or yell or do anything other than smile meekly at her lying, cheating, selfish, abusive husband, Elizabeth is finally rewarded with the husband she deserves. Elizabeth tells Miss Clara about how abusive and neglectful her husband is, and instead of saying “Leave him” or “Poison his soup,” Miss Clara demands that Elizabeth pray for him, because the problem isn’t that her husband is the worst, it’s that Elizabeth just doesn’t love Jesus enough. This seems like a really weak show for an all-powerful deity. When Elizabeth finds out her husband is cheating, instead of confronting him, she prays to God, and God makes him vomit in the middle of his liaison. Elizabeth and her coworker talk about “submitting to their husbands” as if this is a thing you should do. Elizabeth is all, “Shut up, Miss Clara,” but Miss Clara wears her down, because Jesus is more important than personal boundaries, religious freedom, and basic common courtesy. Miss Clara hires Elizabeth to be her real-estate agent and immediately starts asking Elizabeth why she doesn’t love Jesus. I would rather have Kenny G serenade me to sleep every night for the rest of my life than listen to another two hours of that awful music. It’s the music of a 1990s hospital drama, but watered down. The music in this film is worse than any music in any soap opera. 
Squinting is how you know he’s got the devil in him. Elizabeth’s husband, Tony Jordan, is not only a manipulative, controlling, lying, cheating bastard-he doesn’t open his eyes fully once throughout the entire movie.No really, she says, “IN JESUS’S NAME,” and then he’s like, “Um, okay.” Which I would do, too, because it’s hella weird. Miss Clara stops the mugger by telling him not to kill them in the name of Jesus.A man tries to mug Elizabeth and her magical old lady friend, Miss Clara, but he’s white (plot twist).
