05 | The Effects of Infidelity and How We Made the Decision to Stay Married After Sexual Betrayal

The decision to stay married after sexual betrayal is a very difficult one to navigate. We understand this because the effects of infidelity shook each of us to our core. If you've been listening to our show you know we are still married, but we didn’t go through this on our own. We had an incredible amount of support and guidance along the way.   In this episode we're going to open up about the personal effects that infidelity had on each of us while shedding light on the reasons behind our mutual decision to preserve our marriage, despite the pain.   We also have a list of valuable resources to share with you—ones that truly made a difference as we navigated our new reality. But the most important thing we want to leave you with is the hope of redemption and the grace, mercy, and love of our amazing God!   So grab your favorite beverage, get comfortable and get ready for a story of resilience and faith.    We pray this episode blesses you,   Johnny and Emily     💜Work with us!
