It’s difficult enough to forgive your spouse when they’ve had an affair with someone, but when they’ve solicited a prostitute and betrayed you AND have taken the chance of bringing home a disease that could hurt you physically as well as emotionally —how do you get past that? It adds even more fuel onto the fire!
And what makes it all the more difficult to grasp is when your relationship seems to be going in a good direction and yet your spouse does this anyway? How do you wrap your mind around that?
It makes giving forgiveness all the more difficult to give. It doesn’t come without swallowing a lot of poisonous thoughts and laying them aside for the heavenly kingdom’s sake, for the sake of the relationship, and for the sake of moving on without being continually re-punished by bitter thoughts.
We’d like to direct you to an article that where the author, Amber Arlene tells her story of how she finally came to a place of peace and reconciliation and forgiveness.
