Although we haven't walked through the valley of an affair, marriage has not been fun or easy for us so I've been blessed to read about your journey and the power of God to heal and restore! I can only imagine how many others are being impacted in even greater ways!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675580521333863455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597304169251165379.post-25657394868791632842011-04-12T13:37:37.415-04:002011-04-12T13:37:37.415-04:00This was so couragous if you to write about.

I was not in an exact sitaution when I did the single parent thing because my first born was from a previous relationship. So when my Husband had his affair he was living with my daghter and I, but I was already doing the single mom thing. It was very hard though to have him there and then "poof" not there for her and for myself!!!Megan Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12313793270602636734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597304169251165379.post-59487801929145363582011-04-12T13:08:17.674-04:002011-04-12T13:08:17.674-04:00This is a good reminder for all of us - even if we...This is a good reminder for all of us - even if we haven't struggled with unfaithful husbands.<br /><br />Because, when we haven't had an experience like infidelity mold us, we often take the precious things about marriage and family, like good fathers, for granted.<br /><br />Thank you for reminding us all how important it is to treasure and desire our husbands to be upstanding, active fathers. We need to give credit to those that are! And those that have had to fight to get there, like Jesse, and have succeeded with flying colors!Brittany Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316417410513395767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597304169251165379.post-2264225467109782982011-04-12T13:04:41.860-04:002011-04-12T13:04:41.860-04:00I am enjoying each blog post.

He is doing everything possible to make me feel comfortable and to show me that he's sorry and that nothing like that will ever happen again.<br /><br />The problem is that I cannot get the other woman out of my head. I don't know any details of whether she is still with her husband or not, whether she regrets the affair, and if she still thinks about my husband. It literally makes me sick when I think about it.<br /><br />I know that what she is doing these days and what she thinks are not important. I just wish that I could get her out of my head.<br /><br />Any suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597304169251165379.post-4628693077087855682011-04-12T10:36:43.253-04:002011-04-12T10:36:43.253-04:00I feel the same way about our first year of marria...I feel the same way about our first year of marriage and honeymoon even.. we couldn't really enjoy it like you're supposed to.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13468648906270405216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597304169251165379.post-49419210764720336672011-04-12T10:30:09.361-04:002011-04-12T10:30:09.361-04:00I just recently got engaged and I must say your po...I just recently got engaged and I must say your posts are very intriguing.
