Husbands and Wives: Rebuilding Trust in the Aftermath of an Affair:
“Prior to my infidelity, I had ministered at a conservative seminary for nine years, and had been intimately involved in my church. This background made the healing process more difficult for my wife in some ways, because the things I pursued spiritually appeard to be the same things I had done in the past. In my wife’s words, ‘They didn’t work then to keep you from sin why should I trust them now?’ Being an ‘isolationist,’ I had to force myself to seek solid male Christian fellowship. Daily I am in the Word. Prayer has become paramount in my life, both as a weapon of war and an oasis. Wednesday night prayer group at our church has been a healing balm. The last thing I do before I sleep at night is take my wife in my arms and pray.”
