Beyond Broken Vows | Christian Marriage, Adultery, Pornography Addiction, Sexual Betrayal, Intimacy

Sometimes recovery isn’t just killing one addiction—it can be like a game of Whack-a-Mole. Kill the sex addiction, and others pop up.

Picture this...you’re in an arcade, inexplicably drawn to the game called Whack-a-Mole. The idea of the game is when a mole pops up you whack it with a padded mallet, and as you strike it, it goes down into its hole.

But another one pops up in another area.

Now your attention is drawn to the on...

We pray this blesses you,

Today, we’re diving into one of the rawest pains a marriage can face: infidelity.

Specifically, that pivotal moment when the unfaithful spouse – often the husband – finally comes clean. He unloads decades of secrets, and suddenly his prison of guilt and shame cracks open. Freedom hits him like a wave of hope.

But for the wife? Those same words shatter her world. She’s left carrying the weight he shed, and now she’s trapped in h...

Is honesty just as simple as telling the truth, or is there more to it?

We are going to unpack that question to reveal some nuances of truth telling that some may not have considered before.

But isn’t truth, truth?

Yes, truth is always truth, but what we’ve discovered through our own healing journey is that inside of the practice of telling the truth, there are layers that are not necessarily obvious.

Today’s topic is not e...

We have seen God do some amazing things through this p...

How is it already 2026? The start of a new year is an opportunity to look back and reflect on the experiences we've been through and what they've taught us.

But the new year isn’t just about looking back; it's also a chance to look forward and spend some time imagining what could be.

It’s easy to feel stuck in the present and think that things might never change or improve.

It's like trudging down a bumpy street, head down, w...

After the discovery and disclosure of sexual betrayal in a marriage, couples who choose to stay married and embrace the healing and recovery journey, will eventually need to address their sexuality again.

This will look different for every couple, but the ultimate goal is to have a healthier sexual intimacy than before the destruction of porn-fueled infidelity came to light.

We understand you may be in the middle of the fall-out from sexual betrayal in your marriage. Maybe you just found out, or you have been found out. Maybe you’ve been walking this path for a while and still feel like you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.

As the holiday season approaches, this unwanted and extremely painful circumstance can destroy all the anticipation of spending special time with family and friends. T...

The aftermath of sexual betrayal is a complete upheaval of a marriage’s foundation. It doesn’t just damage trust—it systematically dismantles it, leaving a wife questioning her entire reality. The world she knew is gone, replaced by a landscape of pain, confusion, and profound uncertainty.

For husbands who have broken our marriage vows, this new reality teaches us a critical truth: trust is not a default setting. It's more like a...

Today we honor our veterans who defended our land, people, and way of life—a commitment reflecting a biblical understanding of nationhood. The military is a God-ordained institution for maintaining order (Romans 13), and honoring veterans acknowledges this divine role.

Their sacrifice secured our religious freedom, allowing us to worship and spread the Gospel. A strong national defense protects our Christian civilization, as stre...

The devastation of sexual betrayal leaves no part of a marriage untouched. It obliterates the very trust the relationship was built upon.

For the spouse who discovers the lies and hidden double life, it’s as if the floor has vanished beneath their feet. Their entire understanding of reality is fractured in an instant, leaving them disoriented and questioning everything they thought was true.

And husbands who have been unfaithfu...

Sexual betrayal destroys all trust in a marriage. When the lies and double life of an unfaithful husband (or wife) come to light, the betrayed spouse has no solid ground to stand on. What was real is instantly shattered and nothing is clear anymore.

It can leave an unfaithful spouse struggling for a way to regain the trust that was selfishly tossed aside. Trust is earned - not expected just by virtue of staying married.

But whe...

When trust has been shattered after marital infidelity is revealed through either discovery or confession, what hope does a repentant husband have for regaining his wife’s trust? Will she ever be able to trust him again?

These are common questions many couples ask as they sift through the rubble of what was once considered to be a happy, loving, and committed marriage.

Fortunately, there is an answer to this difficult question ...

When infidelity shatters the reality of a perceived happy marriage and reveals a foundation crumbling under the weight of lies and deception, one of the most difficult losses is the trust that was instinctively given when exchanging vows to love, honor, and cherish one another. 

This loss of trust can be more painful than betrayal itself. It can leave a wife on unsteady ground with little hope that any trust for her husband can be...
