Affair Recovery

Samuel shares four key points that the unfaithful can utilize to win back their betrayed spouse's heart.

When it comes to God, one of the most beautiful things about Him is also what I find most fascinating about Him --- He simply won't change. He doesn't budge and He is who He says He is. Yesterday, today, forever.

God does not keep office hours or change His mind on a matter. He won't get bored and He...

Today Samuel shares five keys to personal and marital recovery work.

Today I am going to share the biggest mistake that I made since my last affair, and how it almost cost me everything. It was, in my opinion, even worse than my infidelity. That mistake was my inability to reach full disclosure the first time. For six weeks, I held on to secrets about my behavior and I continued to lie about what I had done...

Today, one of our EMS Weekend therapists, Leigh Ashley, discusses a key component in recovery work: codependency.

Warren Zevon

As a Christian, I always understood marriage to be a biblical union of two people, a part of God's plan for companionship as first illustrated in the Garden of Eden. Common text book definitions note a union of two people or a combination of two or more elements. While its roots are biblical, our society recognizes it as an institution, inherent with legal rights and responsibilities.

Samuel discusses trying to control our spouse's reactions to infidelity and repair work.

Samuel uses a well known parable to illustrate what it takes to heal from betrayal.

But blessed is the one who trusts in Me alone;
the Eternal will be his confidence.
