About this episode

In this episode, Kristina Joy discusses five essential questions for Christian women to consider when contemplating the future of their marriage after an affair.

If you’ve been asking yourself, “What am I supposed to do about my marriage after everything that’s happened?” You’re not alone. This is one of the most weighty and personal questions you’ll face in this season, and it’s not something that can be answered with a simple rule or quick advice from someone else. In today’s episode, I walk you through the same kind of questions I had to wrestle with in my own journey. I share how I learned to move beyond what I thought I should do, how I began to hear my own honest voice, and how bringing everything back to God, again and again, started to bring the clarity I was searching for. We explore: The five questions that can help guide your decision about your marriage after an affair• Why no one else can give you a simple rule for what you should do• The importance of emotional, physical, and spiritual safety in your marriage• How learning to speak your honest truth with God can unlock clarity• Why wise counsel matters, and how to bring it back to the Holy Spirit If you’re the woman who never thought this would be part of your story, but you’re trying to discern what God may be asking of you now, you don’t have to carry that question alone…
