Wow. I am absolutely floored by the fact that even in the face of something so hurtful to you, you saw that you might’ve played a role in it and you owned up to it. It takes a really big person to do that. Lindsey is very lucky to have you.

Marriage is hard. Even in good times, when there’s no cheating involved, it’s a tough job. I sincerely appreciate that the two of you to continue to plug away at it.

Thank you Josh, for being honest as well. Thank you for choosing, to love Lindsey.

She has become a dear friend of mine, via this little thing called the WWW.

I love her, and I know you do as well. Love her every day… always be tender with her, kind, affectionate. Be patient, as she is choosing to be obedient with telling her story about her childhood.

You both, are a shining light for Christ.

Josh,

So many aspects of your story I understand and have lived. I didn’t have an internet, or text mistress… My mistress was ministry. My heart was in the right place, but I wasn’t Present in the present when I was home. Life holds us accountable for how we live, and if we don’t listen to the lessons we certainly become blind and deaf to the reality of who we are. Honesty and clarity are certainly the beginnings of hope. I’m glad you two are cherishing each other. God certainly still turns water into wine. Be intoxicated with love with the wife of your youth…

beautiful family. beautiful grace. I had an emotional affair. I told my husband. I wanted him to be my knight and shining armour… but he just didn’t get it… didn’t see it as an affair b/c it was not physical. I was deeply hurt by his indifference. I asked God to show me how to love my husband, and he said to me… “love me”. I am still on this path of loving my Savior and trusting, even though my husband doesn’t fit the image of what I think I need… I am trusting. Thank you for sharing your stories.
