Default Prayers and Advice Needed!

I found out last night that my wife of 3 years is having an affair with her boss. We do not have any kids so that is one blessing. She is the absolute love of my life and when I confronted her with my findings she told me the truth. The affair happened around Christmas, three weeks after we had a miscarriage. What I don't understand is knowing what she has done and the sin that she has committed, I still forgive her and still love her. Can a marriage be saved after adultery has been committed? I don't know but no matter how mad I try to get, I still love her and forgive her. Anyways any prayers sent to me and/or my wife would be gratefully appreciated! I know that God will provide his guidance.

sorry to hear that horns,
It's up to you guys if you wan't to stay together. I strongly suggest counseling and prayer. I don't entirely know your situation of course, but do you guys pray together? Counseling is something a lot of couples have been through. I've been through it with my wife in the beginning of our marriage, and our marriage has been incredible ever since. I will definantly pray for the two of you.
God Bless Chad S.

Many marriages are saved and recovered after adultery. I recommend that you hook up with a skilled Pastoral counsellor who can help you work through the issues Biblically. Not all counsellors will approach, diagnose, or offer solutions to your problems from the same platform..therefore my suggestion to find a Counsellor that will work from the Bible. God's Word contains everything you will need to help you. I will pray for you

My study group is going through Hosea right now. How applicable to you! It would be well worth a careful read. Christian marriage is a protrayal of God's love for us. We are all sinners but He doesn't see that in the way He loves us. Prayers for you and her.

I will agree with jokester about Grantspastor's post.

I my opion drawn from the Bible, any marrige can be saved if both parties want it to.

She must be willing to repent of what she did and you have to be able to forgive her completely.


Good BIBICAL counsuling per scripture is the only kind you want .


Will hold the both of you up in prayer.

Respect her honesty. It wont be easy for a long time. But it is well worth it to stay together, as everyone has said, specific help is out there.
Dr. Laura covers this often on her radio show. I will pray for you, and yes, God will guide you.
