All is not lost after an affair. You and your marriage can become more resilient and stronger from what could've destroyed you. Shame says, “You are damaged. You are bad.” But that is not true. You can truly rise above shame and have hope even after an affair. Shaun is back on the podcast today, and we're discussing what we learned from our affairs. This conversation will help all who have been affected by the impact of infidelity in your relationship and will help you believe the journey toward healing and rebuilding trust is attainable.  In this episode, Shaun and I talk about some “hidden blessings” we've learned along the way and encourage you to do the same. As Maya Angelou says, “I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it.” Your marriage may have gone through infidelity, but infidelity does not have to be the end.  My infidelity intensive course helps individuals and couples to finally heal from the shame and pain of infidelity.  Learn more about Infidelity Intensive here. **If you like the show, please leave a review!

Let's talk about what it takes to heal and rebuild trust after the devastating impact of infidelity. In this episode, we break down the critical steps for both the cheating spouse and the wounded spouse. You may be familiar with the main themes in this episode like the importance of open and honest communication and a no-contact rule. Other factors that fly under the radar, however, like what good boundaries are and initiated accountability aren't always so obvious, though equally essential. The cheating spouse must take the proactive approach of being humble, transparent, and responsible for their actions.  Get the full show notes at rebuildinguspodcast.com.    Special Offer  Get Access to the "Infidelity Intensive" Guide Here. **If you like the show, please leave a review!

This is a weekly podcast from the sermon at Encompass Church. Today's message is from Ps Jason Newcastle.

We're getting real about navigating through the mess of shame and blame in the aftermath of infidelity. It's a deep, emotional rollercoaster of an episode but so needed. So, buckle up, because it's about to get raw and honest. First off, it's important to note that while either or both spouses may feel blame; shame is never productive. There is a stark difference between guilt and shame. Guilt says “I did something bad.” Shame says, “I am someone bad.”  This episode is for any person who has ever suffered the betrayal of their partner and it's also for the one who has betrayed. No shame on you. Just hope and healing. Listen in.  Find the full show notes at rebuildinguspodcast.com.  Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Take the FREE "How Connected a Partner Are You?"

As you deal with the shock of discovering your spouse's infidelity, it can feel like a collision with a semi-truck, leaving you paralyzed, numb, and drowning in a sea of emotions. You have been traumatized. Your initial response to such devastating news can be paralyzing, leaving you grappling with disbelief, pain, and confusion. It's a sensitive yet profoundly significant topic – navigating the aftermath of discovering a partner's infidelity. Let's unravel the emotional journey, practical steps, and the pathway to healing after the shattering revelation of a spouse's unfaithfulness. Respond, Don't React: In the midst of this emotional turbulence, it's better to embrace a strategic approach – responding, not reacting. The distinction between these two responses will be critical as you navigate in the storm. Impulsively reacting, no matter how temporarily satisfying it may seem, only compounds the situation. Instead, choosing a thoughtful and intentional response lays the groundwork for healing and restoration. Listen as I share some suggestions to help accelerate the healing process.  Find the full show notes at rebuildinguspodcast.com.    Resources Mentioned in this Episode:  Download your “Conversation Starters for Couples in Conflict” guide here.  Book suggestion: Good Grief by Granger Westberg Ep. 229: Hubby Talks: What Caused Infidelity in Our Marriage [Affair-Proof]   **If you like the show, please leave a review!

Here are 10 warning signs plus 12 bonus digital red flags to be aware of that a spouse might be having an affair in person or online. It's a hard topic to discuss, but I want you to be aware of these potential adultery indicators that may need to be addressed sooner than later. The purpose of this podcast is not to make you paranoid or suspicious of your spouse but to shed light on any deception in your marriage you may be unaware of. Remember, you can't fix what you don't face.  My husband, Shaun, and I shared our own story of infidelity on last week's episode.

We're starting a new series on how to rebuild your marriage after an affair. My hubby, Shaun, and I are telling our story of what caused us to be unfaithful in our marriage, what we learned, and what safety nets we've put in place to keep another affair from happening. Christian couples are not immune to adultery, unfortunately. Most marriages have little to no boundaries, so it's no wonder couples find themselves cheating on their spouses against their good intentions.  This conversation is as real as it gets.

2 Samuel 11:1-5 Message Notes Support The JourneyThe Walk Series

The Bible offers much advice for avoiding the path of adultery.  But the most foundational is from Ephesians 5:21, “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ”.

Bogus intimacy comes in many forms, and all of them can be enticing.  But they're hollow and unfulfilling, poor substitutes for the real intimacy that comes from God alone.

God created us to be filled with the treasure of His life.  Only when His life overflows in us can we really love our spouses the way they need to be loved.

Welcome to episode #111!In this episode, Matt and Braden talk about whether it is possible to affair proof a marriage, and what steps we can all take to strengthen our marriages so that we are not vulnerable to having an affair.Pray TogetherStudies show that couples that pray together regularly and consistently have a much higher rate of marital satisfaction and success. Carving out time every day to pray is not just a nicety or an optional endeavour,  praying together is a vital activity we all need to move forward in. That doesn't mean it will be easy or necessarily come naturally, but if we make it a priority, we will see a greater degree of connection to God as a couple and to one another. Lay Together When we build our intimacy with one another our bonds grow deeper and stronger. Sex is a God-given need in our marriages, and when we build our greater intimacy overall we are less susceptible to looking outside the marriage. But intimacy isn't contained to just sex, as we need to build emotional, spiritual and, physical intimacy with one another and that takes vulnerability and trust. What can we all do today to move towards one another in this area?Pay TogetherSecrets and hiddenness are damaging to a marriage, and keeping separate finances doesn't build our greater intimacy with one another. When we spend money and keep that activity a secret from our spouse, we are taking part in financial infidelity. If we engage in that behaviour we may become more comfortable keeping other secrets from our spouse, and we can become prone to holding things back from our spouse in a greater degree. Any form of secret keeping is harmful to our marriage, and may make us more susceptible to an affair.Play TogetherFriendship is central to our marriages, and when we lose that friendship with our spouse we can begin the long slow process of drifting apart. We need to play together in building our friendship, whether it is in finding shared activities we both enjoy, dating, having fun with one another, and laughing together. We need to keep being friends!!Say Together Ongoing communication is key to building our marital oneness, and that includes sharing our hearts with our spouse. We need to get adept at sharing with our spouse, and to build a space for one another to share and feel supported. When we stop talking we can get comfortable in that silence, and it creates coldness and walls in our marriage, and that is when we are more prone to going outside the marriage for that need. Affairs are rarely simply about sex, but more so a need to feel connected.  Share this with your friendsWho do you know that can benefit from this podcast and other episodes coming in the future?
