That’s why married men should never do things alone with a woman. And vice-versa. Too much temptation.

It's hard but when we let God into every area of our lives, He fixes the impossible!

Courtney, because of your forgiveness and trusting and standing in faith. Our Father will bless this marriage abundantly. God bless.

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.

Mark you’re one lucky SOB. You need to give your wife YOUR EVERYTHING. You owe her the rest of your life.

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.

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.

He needs deliverance not just counciling

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.

Wow...I felt the pain listening to this testimony. We give God all the glory!

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!

"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

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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 pray God continue to BLESS they're union!!!

Incredible story of courage and forgiveness, miracles still happen!

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.

Jesus, the great physician ❤❤❤

Wow what an amazing walk of faith that woman has modelled.

Thank you for sharing

A wolf in lambs clothing. I went through this , luckly i did not marriage him.

Powerful!

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

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.

God is good ,

HALLELUJAH. Amen. GOD IS GOOD. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD. NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR GOD. AMEN!!!

Well done man

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"

This makes me upset

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.

Sucks to be her. Been there. Done that.

Three affairs oh heck no 😳

I'd like to believe this story (not for the sin and accompanying suffering but for the other stuff) but I seriously doubt 700 club and cbn

If only all couple could understand that they cant do it with their savior there will be less divorce

It is a choice everyday. You either follow Yeshua or the father of this world.

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…

Man. So many deceivers out there. The hurt from this crap causes emotional break downs....somethings can't be let go, sorry.

I believe in are Lord and savior Jesus Christ and love him but I heard on the grape vine that these stories are fake don't know🤔 🤷🏻‍♂️.?

She looks rough!!

lol b's

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.

Maybe he is a christian hypocrite🤔no one thought of that?
