Summary

Being betrayed by the one you love is one of the worst feelings imaginable. How can a couple find reconciliation and healing after trust is shattered. It's not easy and it requires both spouses to work hard, but there is hope. In today's episode we discussed stories in betrayal in the Bible—namely how we've betrayed God in sin—and what they can show us about finding reconciliation in the wake of betrayed trust. This episode is a bit longer, but the topic is heavy. We hope it helps you. Thanks for listening! If you'd like to support this ministry, please visit Patreon.com/FierceMarriage.

0:00.0	I think building trust within a marriage is always a difficult task, let alone after a betrayal.
0:07.3	I think we're constantly in this mode of building trust, but after bombs are dropped and there's
0:14.1	metaphorical carnage everywhere. How do we begin picking up those pieces or how do we, if we're coming
0:21.1	alongside believers that are walking through this? How do we love them correctly, not and remain
0:30.2	advocates for their marriage? Betrayals are a uniquely hurtful place to be in feeling betrayed.
0:35.8	It's one thing to be sinned against. Betrayal is truly like somebody you've entrusted your heart with.
0:42.0	So I've entrusted my heart into your hands and love with, you know, first Corinthians love,
0:47.7	biblical love would tell us that love hopes all things desires all basically good for the other.
0:53.2	And betrayal is a complete opposite of that. I'm choosing my good over your good. I'm breaking that
0:59.2	trust, that friendship. I'm so much brokenness just to be had in this area. So anyway, this conversation
1:06.4	that we're hoping to have today is hopefully we knew once enough filled with hope but also connected
1:12.1	to reality and the reality of how hard betrayal can be and how how visceral it feels,
1:18.9	but knowing that we have a faithful God who himself knows betrayal and can show us by his grace and
1:24.7	through the power of the Holy Spirit, the path out of the bondage of betrayal of feeling betrayed.
1:30.2	Right? It doesn't mean that you gloss over things, but there is a path to healing and at least
1:34.1	we hope to set your foot on that path today. So thanks for joining us and we'll see you on the other side.
1:39.6	Welcome to the Fierce Marriage Podcast where we believe that marriage takes a fierce
1:43.1	tenacity that never gives up and refuses to give in. Here we'll share openly and honestly about
1:47.8	all things marriage, sex, communication, finance, priorities, purpose, and everything in between.
1:53.6	Laugh, ponder, and join in on Candid Gospel Center conversations.
2:01.5	This is Fierce Marriage.
2:13.3	Whenever we talk about think about or address betrayal, especially in the marriage space,
