Marriage is supposed to the safest relationship on the face of the earth. At best, we are known and deeply loved while knowing and deeply loving our spouse. But with this level of intimacy comes a dramatically increased degree of pain when trust is broken. How do we heal when we've been hurt? How do we begin to repair a marriage that we damaged? Join me as I sit down with one of my dearest friends, Jeff McMullen, pastor at Chapelgate and Director of the Life Counseling Center, and discuss the ways in which the Gospel of Jesus Christ, actually provides real answers to our real-life marital issues. When trust is broken, where do we turn?   For further study, please check out the following resource(s): The Life Counseling Center "Anatomy of an Affair" by David Carder "We Would See Jesus" by Roy Hession* Online Lent Guide “I want to be discipled!”   *This book is of utmost value if you are struggling to move on from past sin or see any way forward in the midst of your own failings as a spouse or parent.
