Bringing a Marriage Back from the Dead after Adultery

2 Comments

We know that God raised Jesus from the dead, but is He able to resurrect a marriage that was assassinated after the betrayal of one spouse against the other?

There is hardly anything that could be more painful or is there anything that has the potential to rip apart a marriage any deeper and surer than infidelity. It does grievous damage to the sanctity of a marital partnership.

But the question is: Can God bring back from the the dead a marriage that has been ripped apart by unfaithfulness?

Think of it this way:

“Who better to resurrect an ash heap of a marriage than the creator of marriage Himself?” (Marla Kloenckner)

And who better to resurrect a marriage, than a God who knows can identify the heartache and betrayal and yet eventual reconciliation, through Jesus Christ, to His unfaithful bride —the church?

“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)

To help you in this journey, we urge you to prayerfully read the articles and web sites we have posted on this web site on infidelity and also other articles and resources we make available, which our Wonderful Counselor, the Holy Spirit, will guide you through.

Also, we have provided a link to an article posted below on the web site of psychologist David Clarke, that might also help you as a starting point. We pray it ministers to your heart and that the Lord infuses hope into your spirit.

    (NIGERIA) Marriage is a university where no student graduates. The more years your are married, the more experience you get. If you divorce, you send yourself on probation, only to start afresh when you re-marry. If you refuse to marry,you will remain ignorant of the experiences till you die.

    Many marriages are in hell. That is why the couples are suffering, some in purgatory, only few are working towards heaven. I do not agree to the concept of dead marriage even if divorced, because once marriage is "consummated", no man can rewind the hand of the clock.

    (SOUTH AFRICA) I agree with you, marriage is a university but it has a lot of graduates. Nowadays we go through issues & always opt for the easy way out only to find that you get involved & again the past haunts you. What I mean is, we contemplate getting divorced so many times but once you realize that you can confront the issues that face you, you actually come out feeling better. I have been married for just 4 years but all I can say is, it’s been tough. I know He never gives me what I cannot deal with. I always encourage myself this way "His brought me this far, He will never never leave now". God promised us happiness, success, prosperity but he never said there will not be times of trials. What I have personally realized is growth happens in times of trouble.
