Christian Marriage Adultery - Holding onto Your Faith

There is not much that can devastate a marriage like your spouse being unfaithful and Christian marriage adultery is more complicated because it breaks a number of Godly principles.

The heartbreak can be so overwhelming that it makes couples feel hopeless and doubtful about their future together. However, if there has been repentance and willingness to forgive and leave the affair in the past, then there is still hope for your marriage.

The first step you need to take is to confirm your belief and faith in God. Do you believe God when he says that he can make all things new, that he can turn all things for good? The first step in beginning your healing and renewed marriage is looking to God for wisdom and help in dealing with adultery in a Christian marriage.

It's important to remember that although it's hard to see beyond this Christian marriage adultery, God's plans for your life haven't changed.

As noted in Jeremiah 29:11-13;"For I know the plans I have for you, " declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

Christian marriages are not insulated from the temptations other couples face but Christians have excellent guidance on how to guard their mind and hearts. The fall comes when Christians neglect their relationship with God and then their spouse.

There is no better time to hold onto your faith and beliefs then when you are going through the crisis or storm. God promises to never leave you or forsake you and you must do the same. You will find no greater supporter than God as you begin dealing with Christian marriage adultery.

A very positive step you can take to begin healing from adultery in your marriage is to pray together as a couple and ask God for what you need. Make a commitment to each other that you will seek God's direction to try to make it over this hurdle. At a minimum you should ask God for wisdom, forgiveness and acknowledge that the only way you are going to stay together is with his help. Commit your marriage into God's hands daily as you work through the adultery in your Christian marriage

It's simple but true that God still loves us, despite the mistakes we make. We have been forgiven and with God's grace and guidance we can learn how to forgive others.
