I have men I have been with for years and never got with them. If you can't trust your man it's one of 2 things. He's either a sex addict or he's not into you and he's looking for something else. I've meant so many Christian women who are juts so terrified of their man being interested in another woman. Jealousy to a sick degree. If you have to hide your man their are other issues.
I always like honest testimonies like this where the spouse owns up and the couple survives. I live in Trinidad where it’s not so easy. I was condemned for my affairs, my family abandoned me, my ex husband told me to leave him alone and that he don’t even thinks he wants to be my friend. Forgiveness for adultery is nonexistent here. The culture is if a spouse cheats on you, “ kick them to the curb”. I tried everything to make amends, to make things right. God told me to fight, but I’m scared that I don’t have any fight left. What hurts the most is that I thought being honest was a good, redemptive thing, and that people would rally around me to help. But just the opposite occurred. But I’m not giving up, I did and still love my ex husband. I’m just fighting differently: on my knees. I’ve left my marriage in God’s hand and I’m hoping that he can forgive me and I can forgive all the people who judged, insulted, took advantage of me and condescended to me. I’m still dealing with everything day by day, it is a daily process. I claim a victory when I don’t cry for just the one day. Pray for the other Standers, bless your heart, the wife for forgiving your husband. God bless you both and don’t forget to pray for the Restoration of other couples and families around the world.
Celena Oxley hold on Celena, God will not abandon you. HE will do what God has to do to make both you and your husband get rid of the junk you both are carrying. Separation can be a good thing sometimes so you can work on yourselves. Been there done that but God is faithful and He restored my marriage as well. Trust in God’s will. Your marriage is a covenant and God wants to see that restored more than you do.
I was married 7 years to my husband ,I loved being married to him ,we were both in our fifties, anyway at 56 he had a stroke in his sleep, at the hospital I had his phone it kept ringing , long story short ,most of my marriage was a lie also, and it was all on his phone.he died before I could even confront him about anything, that was two and a half years ago and I struggle with every word I remember coming out of his mouth was that a lie ? anyway anyone who reads this ,every hidden lie or whatever is done secretly will be brought out in the light , that's a given ,so come clean with it now, so your spouse does not end up like me, I'm better now the Lord has brought me a million miles thru it.being deceitful to your spouse or anyone is not the way to roll.
I've always said that it I such a blessing to find a God fearing man but didn't realize that I must be an obedient God fearing wife to have that God centered marriage...Indeed,while we are in this world, temptations come but to remain faithful and obedient to His Word.God will take care of all our struggles.Glory to God to the life of this couple and the people who are inspired by their story...Glory to God, through Jesus and the Holy Spirit!
Courtney you’re one in 1 million by Gods grace. Bless your heart... I know you’re not perfect, just like your husband, but wow. For whatever lack you have in your marriage, and a hard days remembering, your reward will be in heaven.
Nobody ever knows what goes on behind closed doors. The people who smile the most are usually the ones in the most pain. I know, because I'm one of them.
It's sad to see the lack of grace exhibited in some comments. The Christian life consists of the now and not yet. There's an instant in time when we receive the Gospel but the working out of the Gospel is a daily occurrence.This man needed to go through seasons of repentance, as do we all. Repentance should be a constant posture if we truly belong to Him as we are not refined in a moment but over a lifetime.
Temptation is no joke. Remember even the angels left heaven to be with the women of earth. It's a never ending struggle for men no matter how much you love God. Just gotta pray that the holy spirit helps you resist.
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER SHALK BELIEVETH UNTO HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE JOHN 3:16
You can forgive like her when you have revelation if how much you are loved and forgiven by the Father. It's a choice. It wasn't fair for Jesus to suffer for our sins. But He did it anyway so we don't have to stay the same. This man is a Christian but he said himself that he started to care more about what others thought of him then a genuine relationship with Jesus. That is a trap. He sinned and came to repentance by God's grace. Wow! What a great testimony and sharing the power of forgiveness and repentance.
Hallelujah! Been going through the comments just to find someone who understands how filthy we are but God's still takes us back. When we look at how much God has forgiven us when we don't deserve it, we will be more forgiving instead of just judging and playing all perfect.. God bless you
I think this is a great story and testimony of Jesus and His power to convert and save people, and marriages. Ones' sin doesn't justify another one's. We should all turn our eyes towards Jesus, instead of pointing fingers at each other. It's all about a personal relationship with Christ. No church, pastor, works or perfect life save us. Only Jesus.
I was married once and god blessed me with my children first everything was perfect and everytime I found out I was pregnant he would leave me I suffer with depression and one night I was going to kill myself I was so unhappy but I called out to godsavd me then is time went on he left me for my best friend he didn't leave me any money he took everything Jesus saved me any saved me from that marriage I've been divorced now for 13 years I lost my mum from Covid-19 2021 it's been hard by jesus has been with me jesus is the best friend that anyone can I have
I'll be praying for you. I pray that God heals your heart and that he brings you closer to Jesus every day. Keep on praying and reading the word. He will bring you restoration. We're all fighting against one common enemy, but we have our advocate and our comforter, the Holy Spirit. God bless you
Forgiveness does not always mean that you have to take them back, the Bible gives the person freedom to leave if they sleep with someone else, you can forgive and leave, this has given no freedom for that.
Yes, but God can bring restoration for those willing to stick it out. I didn't say it's not Biblical to divorce for adultary. But I have heard many testimonies of forgiveness, change in the person who cheated (sincere humility and repentance and stopping all immoral behavior). It's not easy but there is beauty that God can resurrect from ashes. I know...I've lived it. If someone is completely unwilling to change then that is another story and still one would need God's counsel. But it's not hopeless with God.
Robert Pannekeok I agree with whts written in your comment. If my husband is committing adultery, he need not ask for my forgiveness to be accepted back. As quick as lightning i will forgive him but no way, will i take him back.
It's a very good yet difficult thing to forgive. However. Many of these videos are about a man cheating and a woman forgiving him. Many many videos, I see this storyline. Let's have a story where no one cheats and they meet with God in another way. But I agree forgiving is the right thing to do.
Good on her , and for what looks like her genuine Christian character. But , him , like many of the female stories of change , I am iffy about. Why ? Because it wasn't a one time screw up where he felt conscience and remorse. He lied and lived a double life for 13 years ( likely longer ) . I am not his judge. But if he is a covert narcissist, then sometimes they like to confess and watch the devastating hurt and watch the person's self worth drop , and watch them stay . Not saying that this is him. Just letting you know that it happens alot. Read Shannon Thomas book " healing from hidden abuse"
I’m curious.., where do things become codependent and where does one say it’s just being godly to forgive?! As I get older and see and hear more about the pain of marriage, and Christian marriage is NO different.. the more I’m horrified and terrified at the idea, I’ve had one long term relationship and that was tough enough.., so tough that I prefer to date in a very removed fashion..,go for a walk, meal and call it good. When I was in high school I was hopeful because a “Christian” boy invited me over... and then it turned bad and I think Christian guys are just as bad (if not worse, because they’re supposed to be mimicking Christ) and I feel I’ll be happier alone.
So what happen , did you stay or leave ?? Sorry you had to go through that. But come on , Christianity today isn't the same as 30 year's ago. People today are not really Christians , but playing the part as her husband was.
Derick, he actually left me and I'm glad he did. I heard he's not doing good. I changed my number, email, and everything else. He's tried getting in contact with me via my friends but they ignore him and block him. I'm enjoying life and traveling the world.
We all sin and need a second chance ...what if God gave up on us every time we sin but he still forgives us if we ask him to... Stay away from satan trap...
I dunno. I sure hope he has truly repented otherwise she is setting herself up for more heartbreak. Why is it that people take marriage vows and have no intention of keeping them. People have no idea the devastation to so many that cheating causes…the ripple effect is far reaching…
Once a cheat...always a cheat. If you want real peace and freedom, get rid of him today and stay single for the rest of your life. The guy talks a good game but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. He's a snake and you're fooling yourself.
@@thewatcher4552 I'm not on a high horse. God knows that I'm a sinner. I wouldn't stay in a marriage where there is no trust. If you would stay in a trustless marriage then I don't know whether to say that you're less intelligent than I am or that you're a better man than I am. What I do know is that the person who was cheated on by their spouse will wonder for the rest of their life whether or not that person is still cheating on them. I left a cheating wife 30 years ago and I have no regrets. I wasn't going to stay with a person that I couldn't trust. You can call it being on a high horse, but I call it being smart.

That’s why married men should never do things alone with a woman. And vice-versa. Too much temptation.
It’s a good rule for all Christian men.
Self control if needed ask God...
I have men I have been with for years and never got with them. If you can't trust your man it's one of 2 things. He's either a sex addict or he's not into you and he's looking for something else.

Yes...exactly....
As a husband i know from experience same with married women just like you said
Courtney, because of your forgiveness and trusting and standing in faith. Our Father will bless this marriage abundantly. God bless.
It's hard but when we let God into every area of our lives, He fixes the impossible!

I feel you. And I feel for you. We share many similarities. Hold on my sister. This sister is praying for you and keeping marriages in my prayers.
Hi. How are you doing now? I can understand how you feel.

@Rhianna S. Hello Rhianna, is the stigma the same if a man cheats?
Wow...another narcissist who wants her way...surprising
How powerful to say: "That 2nd life you've been living, that is you." Coming to grips with our sinfulness is the beginning of healing.
Wow...I felt the pain listening to this testimony. We give God all the glory!

Incredible story of courage and forgiveness, miracles still happen!
"Guard thy heart" by reading God's word; that's how we put in the shield of Christ against temptation.
I can hear the pain in her voice..
So sad
Agreed. Her reward will be in heaven
And her eyes and face...
Courtney you’re one in 1 million by Gods grace. Bless your heart... I know you’re not perfect, just like your husband, but wow. For whatever lack you have in your marriage, and a hard days remembering, your reward will be in heaven.
He needs deliverance not just counciling
counseling
@@Michelle-pn9xt yep hope it doesnt happen again
He got delivered
Uh yeah, he got it
I love this woman I love how God moved in this marriage God is so kind and so patient with us so happy for this couple
