Marriage Question
about a Cheating Husband

Marriage Question about a Cheating Husband: I am currently in Iraq performing Federal Govt duties (not in the military). My husband has cheated on my early in our marriage. It turns out that he has cheated while I've been over here for 2 months. I think I should divorce him because I really don't trust him now. He promised me before I left that he would not do that, but he has done it already.

Answer: Thank you for sharing your question. First, we want to let you know that you are not the cause for your husband's indiscretions. Your husband has a problem and needs help.

Although you do have grounds for divorce according the Bible, we rarely advocate divorce. We first like for couples to make every attempt to save their marriages.

You said your husband cheated on you previously. How was it handled the first time? Did the two of you seek counseling? Did your husband seek individual counseling? Until the root of the problem is dealt with, it's not going to change.

Beloved, if you still want your marriage, ask your husband to get help. If he is not really repentant nor desires to get help, then you must begin to seek God about your future together.

Again, you are free to divorce according to Scripture, but first make a good attempt to save your marriage.


Blessings,
Mike and Wanda
