Many people who have little room for God in their lives suddenly find room for Him during an affair crisis. You may have only given lip service to God over the years, yet when the affair hits, you cry out. You beg, plead, cry and look for answers or validation. It is when you are in the midst of pain that suddenly you want to hear from God. You never wanted to invite him into your marriage before, but now you suddenly want him to step in….in a BIG way.
Pain has a way of forcing us to be honest. Honest with yourself and honest with God about your spirituality. In many cases, you may want him to suddenly approve of your divorce plans or of you dating or to make the hurt go away. You now want God in your life to make it all okay after you and your cheating spouse have made a mess of things. What is important is to maintain your spirituality, maintain your honesty, and maintain your commitments even after the crisis is over. Crying out is crisis is not bad, but forgetting those promises later on is. Rather than have your prayers and promises be in vain, consider making good your promises. One of the things you hate about the cheater is how they break their promises. With that in mind, consider the ones you are making.
