Bob and Audrey Meisner have a dramatic testimony of having a "perfect" marriage and family of 17 years that was almost destroyed by infidelity. At the time, the Meisners had 3 wonderful kids, were in full-time ministry and leading a church, when Audrey became infatuated and had an affair with a family friend.
Although no one knew what happened, Audrey felt convicted by God to confess to Bob, and thus they began a long recovery process, dealing with their pain, shame, anger, and uncertainty about their marriage’s survival. Add to this crisis of the unexpected and unwanted news of Audrey’s pregnancy by the other man. The Meisners share honestly and with emotion about Audrey’s repentance, their slow and painful reconciliation, and Bob’s sacrificial love to claim this new baby as his own son.

She talks about how loving she is; how naturally it comes for her and then goes on to do the most unloving thing possible, the most selfish thing one can do. Then she is so self centered she only talks about her pain, which she deserved. He, on the other hand, has tears in his eyes as he shares from his humble heart. He is the hero of the story here.

I am sorry in advance for what I am going to express here , and with all do respect. We men are simple, task oriented, even Christian men in ministry, however I feel that now a days , nurturing a relationship with a wife is like waking up every morning , find a nuclear bomb and deactivate it before sunset. Really, a Christian woman should know better than establishing any kind of bond with anybody but her husband.

She said she was craving attention when she had the affair. Now she's getting attention from speaking engagements. Its in her interest to keep this going. Clearly, this issue hurts her husband more than her. He still looks genuinely broken over it, but she sounds like she has refined her presentation and is enjoying herself.
