When enemies heard that Nehemiah and the Jews were rebuilding the wall they were livid.
That is what happens when you try to rebuild something. The enemy who tore it down in the first place, or the enemy who wants to invade won't like it.
It is no different if you are rebuilding a relationship or a family than it was rebuilding a wall. You have an enemy who enjoys the destruction. He wants to continue to have easy access in to your life to wreak more destruction. If you are rebuilding I think you can safely assume that someone won't like it.
It is important to know who your real enemy is. You may experience opposition from flesh and blood people, but they are not your real enemies. They have been taken captive by your true enemy. They may be tools in the hand of your enemy, but no human is your true enemy. Your true battle is against "the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. " (Ephesians 6:12, ESV)
