BeBroken – Registrations are open for our Fall Wives Care Groups!

The Be Broken Ministries Wives Care Groups are designed to make it easier for a woman who has been hurt by her husband’s sexual brokenness to get going on the healing path that Jesus has for her.  This is a weekly one hour commitment that can be done from your home or during a work break. All you will need is your computer, tablet or phone and some time alone. We will meet for a total of six sessions. Each group is led by two well qualified and caring ladies who have experienced betrayal themselves. You can opt to meet through Zoom Video Conferencing or, more anonymously, by calling in from any phone. 

For more information check out our monthly Wives Care Basics Webinar. 

We will be offering groups in three different days and times:

Registration Link start date: Tuesday, October 8 at 7 pm CST

Registration Link start date: Wednesday, October 9 at 10 am CST

Registration Link start date: Wednesday, October 9 at 2 pm CST

If this information doesn’t apply to you personally, we appreciate if you would pass on this opportunity to those who could benefit from getting better equipped to heal from betrayal trauma. Thank you so much.  Comments from recent attendees: “Feeling validated and sharing with and hearing from other women who truly get it and understand plays such a huge part in the healing process. It’s like a breath of fresh air not feeling like you have to make sure you include every single detail so the listener can fully understand why you feel what you feel. The exhaustion of extensive explaining wasn’t even a thing because they just…get it. The entire experience was super enlightening and so well done.  In addition to the Zoom meetings, we received weekly, encouraging emails that included phenomenal resources to learn from.” 

“The group is a good place to heal because the women understand your pain and validate your feelings. We are given resources on how to begin to deal with the trauma.”

“I really appreciated the organization of the topics, that in itself helped me to untangle some of the different aspects of this journey and see things more clearly.”

Have a blessed day!

Healing From Infidelity

Another necessary ingredient for rebuilding a marriage involves the willingness of unfaithful spouses to demonstrate sincere regret and remorse. You can’t apologize often enough. You need to tell your spouse that you will never commit adultery again. Although, since you are working diligently to repair your relationship, you might think your intentions to be monogamous are obvious, they aren’t. Tell your spouse of your plans to take your commitment to your marriage to heart. This will be particularly important during the early stages of recovery when mistrust is rampant. Conversely, talking about the affair can’t be the only thing you do. Couples who successfully rebuild their marriages recognize the importance of both talking about their difficulties and spending time together without discussing painful topics. They intentionally create opportunities to reconnect and nurture their friendship. They take walks, go out to eat or to a movie, develop new mutual interests and so on. Betrayed spouses will be more interested in spending discussion-free time after the initial shock of the affair has dissipated. Ultimately, the key to healing from infidelity involves forgiveness, which is frequently the last step in the healing process. The unfaithful spouse can do everything right; be forthcoming, express remorse, listen lovingly and act trustworthy, and still, the marriage won’t mend unless the betrayed person forgives his or her spouse and the unfaithful spouse forgives him or herself. Forgiveness opens the door to real intimacy and connection. But forgiveness doesn’t just happen. It is a conscious decision to stop blaming, make peace, and start tomorrow with a clean slate. If the past has had you in its clutches, why not take the next step to having more love in your life? Decide to forgive today. By Michele Weiner-Davis, M.S.W.

“The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies… It comes from friends and loved ones.” – Ash Sweeney
