Aftershock - Introduction预览

While plenty has already been done to threaten your marriage, don’t succumb further to Satan’s lies and schemes. Don’t cope by going into denial about the painful truth of what’s been occurring. Instead, strive to see the light of Christ rising over you in the midst of the storm. Your world might seem quite dark to you now. You’ve probably had nights when you’ve cried until you didn’t think you could cry anymore.

Make a commitment to move forward, step by step, regardless of your situation. Learn about healthy boundaries and self-care. Keep going, even when times are difficult and you want to give up. Difficulties will come. The burden you presently carry along, plus the mere busyness of life may wear you out physically, emotionally, and spiritually. So be good to yourself.

Take advantage of the tools in the following devotions. You’ll be learning about yourself, the betrayal process, and how your husband likely developed his destructive behaviors. You’ll also learn about the dynamics of your marital relationship – the good and the bad – and how you got to the place you are today. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to make choices that have proved effective in restoring and transforming shattered marriages while still taking care of your own heart as well.

Don’t give up!
