2024-04-22

Is your marriage thriving after sexual betrayal? Maybe not. Maybe you are just surviving. You might just be at the beginning of the journey to healing and still don’t even know if you want to stay married. Maybe you and your spouse have been working hard on recovering from this devastation, but you aren’t really connecting in a fulfilling way yet.

Is your marriage thriving after sexual betrayal? Maybe not. Maybe you are just surviving.

You might just be at the beginning of the journey to healing and still don’t even know if you want to stay married. Maybe you and your spouse have been working hard on recovering from this devastation, but you aren’t really connecting in a fulfilling way yet. Or, maybe you have reached a point as a couple where you feel like you have a brand-new marriage, and it’s better than the one you had before betrayal and addiction.

We fall into this last category, but that doesn’t mean we don’t still have very hard days. Can a marriage thrive even while experiencing recurring painful moments from the past? And might this be a marker for how well a marriage is thriving? We'll let you in on one of our recent really hard days and what it taught us.

Our prayer is that everyone listening to our podcast will eventually find the peace and joy of a marriage redeemed by God and made new. It is not easy getting here or staying here, but it is so worth the effort!

Join us today as we have a vulnerable conversation about thriving vs. surviving in marriage post sexual betrayal.

We pray this blesses you,

Johnny and Emily
