From Surviving to Thriving: The Raabsmiths' Journey Through Sexual Betrayal to Lasting Intimacy

from The Living Marriages Podcast | Effective Communication, Intimacy, Healthy Habits, Christian Counseling, Christian Parenting · host Aaron Au, April Au | Marriage Coaching and Mentoring

Early on in their marriage, Matthew and Joanna Raabsmith thought they would help others in their marriage. They were both in seminary receiving excellent training, they both had a heart to help others. Little did they know that even though they would help others in their marriage, God needed to do a deep work in their marriage first. It began by confronting the lie that was at the centre of their marriage - Matthew's hidden pornography addiction. It led to a painful yet ultimately freeing disclosure; it continued with a difficult yet fruitful journey of ongoing recovery and rebuilding. Betrayal trauma was a new term in their day and now God has used the Raabsmith's journey to help others not just recover from betrayal but to thrive in a marriage built on trust and lasting intimacy.  Resources You can find out more about Joanna and Matthew's ministry, book, coaching and other resources by clicking here.
