Remaining Faithful

Devotional Content:

One of the last times that I met with Emily and Aiden, I wanted to challenge them. I knew they had to keep doing the things in their marriage that they began over these past two years. I also knew what could happen if they did not. Just because a couple goes through and comes out of infidelity does not erase their vulnerability for the rest of their lives. The key to keeping and continuing to build an Awesome Marriage is consistency. It’s doing the things that work day after day after day. I asked them to get another couple they trusted to be their accountability partners. This would be a couple that would regularly check on them to make sure they were on the right path. They both agreed on Aiden’s friend that was there from the beginning and his wife. This was a great choice.

There were a lot of dark days in their past and now it was time to work on a string of sunny or a least partly sunny days. We talked about things they liked to do together for fun and some new things to try. They needed to begin to really reap the rewards of all the hard work. Enjoying each other and having fun together are so important to an Awesome Marriage.

Honestly, I believe without a doubt that prayer was what God used to heal this marriage. It was a combination of Aiden’s prayers, Emily’s prayers, and their prayers together. God knit them together with Him in a close, intimate way. Being purposeful in prayer for the rest of their marriage was a non-negotiable.

Emily and Aiden made it. Wherever you are in your marriage today, you can make it just like they did. Here is the difference I saw in Emily and Aiden and the way they fought through infidelity. They did not just want to just survive. They wanted their marriage to thrive. They wanted it better than ever. They wanted every bit of what God had for them in marriage and God showed up like He does with more blessings than they could ever imagine.
