WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY HUSBAND COMMIT ADULTERY?

What should I do If My Husband commit Adultery?
Should I forgive him after he has asked for forgiveness? Or I should divorce him as the only ground for divorce?
We are dealing with a lot of people having this problem now in our ministry?

Thank you all for your advice but you need to hear this:
During the 2nd world war, grenade blew a Soldier's face and deformed him. So many people came to visit him in the hospital and they all said the same thing that, we understand what you are going through and we feel your pains. The man shook his head and said No to them all. He said to them, "You can never understand my pains until grenade blow your face..." Meditate on that friends.
Please, contribution requested.

Uhmm. Sister you are right. It easier said than done.
What you are saying can be summarized under two words: Sympathy and Empathy.
Sympathy means, “I understand how you feel”.
Empathy means, “I feel how you feel”.

Though, most people don’t believe in this word – “forgive and forget”. That’s why a lot of people are having problem with their marriages today. They said I have tried everything but it is not working out. When you forgive your spouse, you must forget what he/she has done against you. Every child of God has a life of God in him/her. We have Zoe (active life of God) in us and we have God’s attributes in us as well. God forgives and forgets our sins. He doesn’t see our sins. He forgets our sins i.e. He doesn’t even remember our sins anymore.
We are expected to do the same as believers. We should forgive our spouses of any wrongdoing and forget (remember no more).

Few verses below:
“Remember not the sins of my youth…” Psalm 25:7.
“…Will not remember thy sins” Isaiah 43:25. When you don’t remember, that means, you forget completely.
“For thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back” Isaiah 38:17b.

God casts our sins behind His back because He doesn’t look back and He has never looked back. Everything starts and ends with God. He is the beginning and the end (Rev.1:8).

When your spouse sins against you and you forgive him and you don’t forget. A month or months later, devil reminds you of what your spouse has done. devil tells you, why must he/she do this to you or treat you this way? You said it is unfair. You tend to react negatively to that and it affects your marriage. When devil tries to remind you of what your spouse has done. You tell him point blank that your spouse has not done anything wrong to you. He/she didn’t do it. This is where renew your mind comes in.

“Love covers multitude of sins” 1 Peter 4:8.
Every other thing will fail except love. Love never fails…1 Cor. 13:8.
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love”.
1 Corinthians 13: 13.

One of the greatest virtues of love is, “Love keeps no record of wrongs…” I Cor.13: 4-7.

Many Christians have practiced this, “forgive and forget” in their marriages and they have seen God at work. Today, they are all enjoying marital bliss. So, forgive and forget! God help you.

Stand for your marriage. Fight for everything the enemy has stolen in your life and marriage. Forgive and forget your spouse no matter what he/she has done. God is a God of restoration! He will restore all the years that cankerworm, palmerworm, grasshopper has eaten in Jesus name. Amen.
Be blessed.
