Saving Marriage After Adultery - part 1
by Angie Lewis
Do you want your marriage nursed back to health? If you want your marriage restored it will take some effort on your part. Stop peering over the fence at your neighbor, and put your eyes back in your own yard where they belong.
First, the offended spouse needs to forgive completely (see my article, forgive a cheating spouse), and secondly the offender has to understand why he strayed from the marriage bed in the first place. Infidelity is only a symptom of a greater problem within the framework of the marriage.
If you have been unfaithful or have anything else pulling you away from your spouse, ask yourself why? What am I doing that would cause me to be disloyal? Don't blame your spouse for your weakness. Grow up and take responsibility.
I marvel at how often I hear couples blame each other for their own unhappiness. Couples should be looking for ways they can please each other instead of bringing each other down.
Don't you want to give of your self freely to your spouse? Then step harder on satan's back, and get off your spouses back! Why are you giving away your body and mind to strangers and those who are probably only using you?
It takes willingness and effort to seek out all that God wants for you and your marriage. It is God's WILL that you continue working on establishing for your marriage a foundation based on trust, respect, commitment and honor. Without these traits imbedded into your belief system, you will become weak again and again. What kind of marriage is that?
If you are willing to give up your weakness and truly want to do what is right for your marriage, God will forgive you. Through His death, Jesus Christ has paid the price to release you from the bondage of sinful immorality.

You are forgiven on the basis of the suffering and physical death of Jesus Christ. Acceptance of this great truth and the willingness to give up your unfaithfulness, and rely on Jesus Christ for your new way of living is God's will for you.
Can you accept that? If not, this article is not for you.
The woman caught in adultery is a prime example of Christ's love for you.
It says in John 8:3:11 "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the law, Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. Now what do you say?"
"If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
"No one, sir," she said.
"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."
