It is difficult and hard when your spouse has been involved in an affair or affairs. It takes a lot of maturity and God’s love shed abroad in our hearts to properly handle the situation.

It will take God and the willingness of the erring spouse to denounce this habit, turn a new leave and become an instrument against affairs in the hands of God.

Such change is very possible when the erring spouse knows how to appropriate the grace, mercy, and blood of Jesus. No devil has the power to make any of us do what we don’t want to do.

For example, the deliverance of Saul was complete and total. Never did he go back again to persecuting the church. So the determination of the erring spouse is more important than what the spouse does or does not do.

Despite the reaction of the spouse, total victory is still a reality.

However, for the sake of support and those who are not so strong, here are things the spouse of an erring spouse is not to do.

  1. Never allow a feeling of revenge overtake you.

The devil is a bad devil and would love to exploit any situation, but the bible says we should resist him.

So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 NLT

You may be tempted to also pay your spouse back in the same coin, to also cheat and have an affair. The temptation will be strong but please do not yield to it.

Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord. Romans 12:19 NLT

Keep yourself in the love of God.

2. Never try to blow your own trumpet.

The devil is full of different strategies that he never seeks to give up. Even when it is obvious he has lost the battle, he still wants to try, peradventure he could still win some grounds.

God should still remain the center of focus and not man. So it is better to continually give all the glory to God. Don’t think it is because you are smart or gifted that you discovered. It is God that made it happen. He gave you the wisdom.

Don’t also think you are standing because you are righteous, it is of the Lord’s mercy.

So rather than blow your trumpet of being the good cop over all the years, thank God for the grace to be faithful. We are all a product of God’s help.

Thank God you made yourself available for God to use you in being so forthright, disciplined, and focused.

We all are a product of God’s Mercy.

I will stop here today, and continue tomorrow by the grace of God.

It is my prayer that God will give us more understanding in Jesus’ name.

God bless your marriage.
