83 | Our Infidelity Story: Same-Sex Attraction, Sexual Addiction & A Redeemed Marriage

Josh and Jaelyn Harrel (@restoredliving) are boldly sharing their story of infidelity, betrayal, confusion, and God’s redeeming grace.

I know that not every story ends this way. I have had relationships near and dear to me that ended after an affair, but I have also been very fortunate to see the true reconciliation that Jesus can bring after very real betrayal. 

During today’s conversation, Josh and Jaelyn discuss the hardship that they faced when Josh had a deep, emotional affair, that included photos and videos, with someone of the same sex.

The Wife Project: From Roommates to Soulmates launches on November 7th! Sign up for the waitlist here! 

They discuss the impact that pornography and sexual addiction has on a marriage, but most importantly, the very real work that Jesus has done within their marriage since that point. They discuss the healing process, the struggle in pursuing intimacy after the fact, accountability, and how Jesus has been the healer of their hearts.

I pray that, for anyone who has walked through the tragedy of marital betrayal, that you will also see the genuine HOPE that comes with the death of Christ on the cross for our sins and brokenness. It does not have to be the end of your story.

For those of you wives who may be struggling within your marriages, whether it is from small or large betrayals, or if you just want to grow closer with your spouse and become best friends again, I want to remind you that The Wife Project Course: From Roommates to Soulmates will have its FINAL launch on Nov. 7th!
