Lesson One: Know that there is no way to restore your marriage to it’s original glory, except through the grace of Almighty God. He alone has the power to resurrect the dead – and your marriage is dead. Please don’t fool yourself into believing otherwise. Man can resuscitate, but they cannot resurrect. That is why worldly marriages cannot over come the ill-effects of adultery. No matter how hard they try, the marriage will inevitably be dissolved. They may not file for divorce, in the face of wanting to keep up appearances, but on the inside the relationship is in deep turmoil. The idea is keep the reasons for the decline in the relationship in their proper perspective and tactfully give the perpetrator the full recompense of their just reward, without losing your integrity.
Lesson Two: Be careful about the people to whom you speak regarding your partner’s indiscretion. The very person in whom you try to confide might be the very cause of your pain.
Lesson Three: Everyone has an opinion, and everyone will try to give you advice, so whenever you are so inclined to disclose the inappropriateness of your partner’s sexual misdemeanors, do so with your ventilation fan running on exhaust, rather than intake. Trust me, I know what I’m telling you.
Lesson Four: Never, never, never discuss your partner’s indiscretion with a member of the opposite sex – ever. I know that we are only human, and we all need a semblance of assurance, but women are not the only ones who Alieth in wait as for a prey and increaseth the transgressors . . . (Proverbs 23:28) Most men are like vultures, and they are only waiting for a carcass to devour. Women are ravishing wolves ready to prey on a lost sheep.
