147 | Did You Ever Really Love Me? Facing the Heartache of Sexual Betrayal

About this episode

The episode discusses the painful question of whether love was genuine in the context of sexual betrayal in marriage.

Today, we want to talk about an extremely painful question betrayed wives ask their unfaithful husbands. It’s a question that torments a wife when looking at the history of her marriage through the lens of infidelity. Those memories of special times spent together - vacations, family events, wedding anniversaries - are tainted by the new knowledge that she wasn’t his one and only love. She can’t wrap her mind around what his sexual betrayal means for their relationship and it’s devastating to imagine him engaging in sexual or emotional attachments with anyone else, whether on a screen or in person. This question is, “Did you ever really love me?” We have a raw conversation over this question from our own experience; finding some answers and also finding hope in Jesus Christ’s unfailing love for us! We pray this blesses you, Johnny and Emily 💚TIP JAR If this episode brought you hope or encouragement, please leave us a little blessing to help us keep our content ad-free! 💜Work with us! coaching.beyondbrokenvows.com 💜Hang out with us and support our ministry on Patreon, beyondbrokenvows.com/partner 💜Become a Beyond Broken Vows Insider!
