“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!”-Isaiah 43:18-19a, NIV
Sometimes the marriage is not fixable, and it comes time to focus on a new thing.
A cheater who refuses to repent makes a marriage not fixable. It would be unwise to reinvest in a relationship with a cheater still shifting blame or excusing their sinful behavior. This is to invite further abuse.
Another thing that might not be fixable is the lost trust. A cheater who has carried on a secret life for months or years may never be able to rebuild the trust abused.
How can you trust such a deceitful person? It is unwise.
This is a hard truth to swallow for many faithful spouses. I suspect many of us wished our marriages were “fixable.” The reality is somethings just aren’t.
