Can Our Marriage Recover?

Oscar from San Antonio asks:

 

"My wife is cheating with her co-worker and she told me it’s over.  I talked her into giving us a second chance. She said she is confused and that she needs to find herself (be more independent, whether she loves me or not).   I'm very desperate and need guidance."

Nancy's Relationship Advice:

Dear Oscar,

It is always very difficult to go through this type of crisis in a marriage and I understand how painful it must be to find out your wife has been unfaithful.  Because she is willing to give your relationship a chance, I encourage you to start fighting for your marriage and get to the heart of why she felt she was not getting the love, support and attention she desires within your relationship.  

There is a void in her life and I believe that through marriage counseling you can work through these issues and build a stronger bond.  Please take the initiative and do not delay - even if you begin working with a counselor alone at first.  You need to be very proactive during this time so you can reach the goal of not only restoring your marriage, but building a solid and lasting foundation of mutual trust, love, respect and faith.  

I believe that it is during these times that when you call out to God and sincerely ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and guidance, you will receive the strength and direction you need in order to heal your marriage.

Do you have a relationship issue you are trying to work though?
