Overview

Every woman affected by betrayal wants freedom from painful, intrusive memories and to get help navigating their marriage. The problem is, in a world that worships fleeting emotions, it's easy to believe that the only way through infidelity is to leave. Or if they choose to stay, they become a prisoner of fear and anger, resulting in bitterness. However, as Christians, we are called to a higher standard in our marriages--one of holiness. Yes, even the unequally yoked ones. When we embrace God's transformative power, instead of indulging in detrimental emotions or acts, he refines and sanctifies us, our unsaved spouses, and marriages. Kallista Sanchez helps uncover unpopular opinions and often overlooked truths on what God thinks about forgiving sexual betrayal. When we consider that he may want us to keep our covenant, obedience is the door to blessing. What's more, forgiveness isn't about erasing the pain but allowing trials to become a catalyst for growth and redemption.
