Marriage: Fix It, Don't Throw It

Yesterday I saw a post on Facebook where a woman was asking about her cheating husband. She found out he had cheated by kissing another girl in her absence during a party. She confronted her husband about it and it seemed they both wanted to work it out.

The question she had was if she would ever be able to trust him again and things like that. Almost every response she received was "Leave him. Once a cheater, always a cheater."

It saddened me greatly to see this sort of response from literally hundreds of women. I think she had about 300 responses, or so. She began to question her resolve and finally just said she was going to take some time away from him and just "mull things over."

Let me say this! I've only been married 3 1/2 years. I'm not an expert on marriage by any stretch of the imagination. But I've been through a lot during our time of marriage. We've gone through ups and downs like you'd never believe if I told you. I can safely say and advise, "Do not give up! Do not let anything intimidate you into leaving your spouse. You can always, always, always work through it, no matter what the problem is."

Forgiveness is key. Communication is extremely important. Trust is paramount. Love is priceless.

Fix your marriage! You can't afford to just throw it away. It's worth the fight. It's worth the tears. It's worth the heart ache. It's worth the pain. Because in the end, there is victory. Pray. Seek God. Ask Him for guidance. Spend time with your spouse. Learn about your spouse. Do the "Love Dare." Have faith. Never, ever, EVER give up!
