The devastation was beyond words. “How could he do this to me?!” “Why?!” “Was this my fault?” “How will I ever get over this?” The questions swirled chaotically in my head. Meanwhile, my heart wondered if I would ever stop hurting, “Will this pain ever go away?” I felt lost, alone, and confused. I didn’t know where to turn or what to do. But I knew I needed a plan. I’ve been where you are Beautiful. I know the pain and devastation sexual betrayal brings into your life. I know the agony of having the one you love so dearly betray you at the deepest level. But I also know the hope and healing that awaits you. I know just how faithful God is to restore to an even BETTER YOU! The journey from devastation to restoration has not been easy, but God has held my hand, and even carried me at times along the way. He showed me the way to true healing, helped me develop a plan, and I rediscovered the beautiful woman He created me to be. I’ve learned that our pain, though it is great, has a greater purpose. My tragedy is now my triumph. And I have the greatest privilege of offering hope and healing to Christian Women who suffer enormous trauma and loss by the impact of marital betrayal.

You discovered his betrayal - either through an affair or sexual addiction.

D-Day
It's the day we remember as the DAY OF DESTRUCTION. The Day my world shattered into a billion pieces. The day I found out he betrayed me.

Unfortunately, this problem is more common than we'd like to believe.
When someone is caught, they tell only what they absolutely have to tell - and no more. There's a basic human survival mechanism in most of us that means we don't want to voluntarily disclose things that we know ...He was the one who betrayed me! He was unfaithful. Why do I feel so much shame?
When your spouse's infidelity has been discovered, it can send a tsunami wave of shame to the one who has been betrayed.
It can be caused by undue shame we place on ourselves as the betrayed or our unfaithful spouse ends up blaming us for their betrayal and it can cause the shame to mount. The betrayal is bad enough, but when you couple it with shame,...
Today is Q & A day!
Another great question from one of our loyal, beautiful women:
How do you know if you can really forgive him for betraying you? It's so hard. Even God gives us a way out because it's so hard.

This is such a hard topic but one that we must address if we are going to really heal from the t...

Sexual Betrayal is one of the most traumatizing experiences a woman can ever go through in life. The one you gave your heart to, the one who you put your complete trust in, the one who you love with all your heart has given himself to another. Had an affair, be it emotional, physical, or both. Or maybe it is pornography with sexual addiction. Either way, your world has been obliterated. Blown apart, shattered into a b...
Betrayal knocks you off your feet. It turns your world upside down.
Your mind is constantly racing and won't stop, your body is fatigued and you don't feel like you can go another minute.
But there is so much to do. People to take care of. Places to go. Why won't the world just STOP and recognize you are in pain.
You've been betrayed and it's like no one cares, sees, or notices.
So you just keep moving forward. You just keep livi...
Just the thought of being vulnerable with your spouse after you discover they have betrayed you can be frightening. I get it.
I remember thinking to myself, "I will NEVER open up to him again. I will NEVER let him into my heart again. I will NEVER share my thoughts, desires, hopes or dreams with him ever again!" I was wounded, devastated, and didn't think I could.
But then I came to realize...
After betrayal, even if you've decided to reconcile the relationship, you can still have a hard time being vulnerable with your spouse.
- What if he/she betrays be again?
- What if I get hurt again?
- What if they lie to me again?
- What if he/she judges my feelings?
All these are valid fears.
But how can we get past our fears a...
