We received this question from one of our awesome listeners and viewers. Thank you so much for

0:04.0

in advance for submitting that question to us. Here it is. My husband had an affair about two and a half

0:09.6

years ago. I have forgiven him and both of us have made much needed changes. Our marriage is a lot

better now, but my husband's guilt and shame is driving him away from the church. He feels great guilt

0:21.8

and regret when attending. I don't think he believes God will forgive him. I need a Christ-centered

marriage. I've been praying, but how can I help my husband further? So yeah, that's a deep

1:33.3

time with us giving us your ears, your eyes, your attention. We hope that it's fruitful. We trust

1:37.5

that it will be. And let's just dive right into this. Okay. We're answering this question

1:43.6

that I read before we did the intro. And just to be honest, it's a little risky, I think, to take

1:49.2

on a question of this magnitude. And it's actually, I think it's really hard. It's difficult to serve
