The other week, I read a story about the performer, Shania Twain. In the story she relayed how her spouse cheated on her as she struggled with Lyme disease.
Prior to her medical condition, her career was promising. She was attractive and going places. She won five emmys and was the preeminent female entertainer. At that point, the world was hers.
Things changed when she was struck with Lyme disease. When her conditioned worsened, she found herself losing control of her body and her marriage.
As she struggled with her illness and its crippling effects, her spouse cheated on her. She had fame and fortune, but it didn’t protect her from infidelity.
At the time she needed a supportive husband, he wasn’t there. She was left a physical wreck and her marriage was broken.
I suppose that her spouse didn’t remember the wedding vows about ‘in sickness and in health’. He made the choice to cheat. She trusted him. He was not only her husband, but also her producer.
In my mind, cheating on an ailing spouse is one of the lowest things you can do. I know they have struggles as well, but that doesn’t excuse their solution to their situation.
Shania struggled with what to do. The feelings were intense.
“Getting a divorce with the person that you work with for 15 years of your life, is getting a divorce from every element of your life.”
Her situation has some lessons for your marriage as well.
No amount of money or fame can protect you from sudden health problems.
No amount of money or fame can prevent an affair from impacting your marriage.
Although you can’t keep an affair from happening, you can do something to turn your marriage around. The downloadable, “Affair Recovery Workshop” provides you with techniques and direction in turning things around.
Your marriage doesn’t have to stay wrecked and broken. There are things you can do that change the relationship the two of you have.
Shania’s money also didn’t protect her from the struggle and pain. You can learn from her life and make your marriage better.
Best Regards,
Jeff
