Should You Forgive Cheating?
What Does the Bible Say About Adultery/Cheating?
Mat 5:32 "But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, cause her to commit adultery"Jesus said that divorce is not permissible except for unfaithfulness. This does not mean that divorce should automatically occur when a spouse commits adultery. The word translated "unfaithful" implies a sexually immoral lifestyle, not a confessed and repented act of adultery. Those who discover that their husband or wife has been unfaithful should first make every effort to forgive, reconcile, and restore their relationship. We are always to look for reasons to restore the marriage relationship rather than for excuses to leave it.
John 8:4-11 "Teacher," they said to Jesus, "this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The Law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?" They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up and said, "All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!" Then Jesus said to the woman, "Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?" "No Lord," she said. And Jesus said, "Neither do I. Go and sin no more."
Jesus didn't condemn the woman accused of adultery, but neither did he ignore or condone her sin. He told her to leave her life of sin. Jesus stands ready to forgive any sin in your life, but confession and repentance mean a change heart. With God's help we can accept Christ's forgiveness and stop our wrongdoing.

How Many Times Should You Forgive Someone?
Matthew 18:21-22 "Then Peter came to him and asked, "Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven Times?" "No, not seven times," Jesus replied, "but seventy times seven!"Peter, trying to be especially generous, asked Jesus if seven (the "perfect" number) was enough times to forgive someone. But Jesus answered, "Seventy times seven," meaning that we shouldn't even keep track of how many times we forgive someone. We should always forgive those who are truly repentant, no matter how many times they ask.

Does God Have a Limit on Forgiveness?
God, who "does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent" (2 Peter 3:9), has no limits on forgiveness for those who will repent, obey, and ask him for his forgiveness. Jesus told his followers (Luke 17:4), "Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day each time turns again and asks for forgiveness, you must forgive." I don't think he meant that we are only restricted to forgiving once every three hours, but that he was saying there should be no restriction on our forgiveness. Would God hold himself to a less strict standard than that to which he holds us? No, he will forgive without limit.But, that does not mean that we should keep on sinning thinking that we will not be in danger if we have repented and habitually still live in a fixed state of sin. For forgiveness to take place there must also be a changed heart, a repentant heart.

Does Living Your Life for God and Being Christian Mean That We Will Not Sin?
Certainly not! That doesn't mean we won't stumble. It doesn't mean we won't stumble often, especially when trying to overcome an addiction. It doesn't even mean we won't commit the same sins over and over. There are some addictive sins, for instance, that are very hard to overcome and we may fall to the temptation many times as we try to overcome them. But we are to do what we can to try to walk in the way of righteousness. What God wants is our intent and our heart. Certainly, if we ask for forgiveness with no effort to stop sinning, then we are indicating that we are not a new creature, but the old man of sin. We must also repent, which means to turn from sin, to change the direction in your life from selfishness and rebellion against God's laws. God will forgive if we admit our sins and honestly determine to do better in the future. So, "Should You Divorce Your Spouse if They Commit Adultery?"
Since back in Jesus' time there was no dating, I will rephrase this question into modern times. "Should you breakup with your spouse if they cheated?"My answer would be to pray about it. Don't take advice that is not Godly, don't take advice from those who are not wiser than you, don't take advice from those who think they know what's best, but are in no better situation than your own or who have not been in the situation themselves. How can one give you good advice when they do not have a successful relationship either or who have not experienced the same situation? Would you get surgery because your best friend says you need it, without seeking help from a Doctor who thoroughly understands your condition? Everyone thinks they know best and everyone thinks they're a doctor, a lawyer or relationship expert. God does know what's best for you and has a plan for you; seek his advice and his advice only! He will show you what you are to do. Don't let the judgmental eye of others cause you to not follow God's word.
Those who love you will tell you to just leave your spouse because they don't want you to hurt again and because we as humans see one sin as being worse than another, but, trying not to first make every effort to forgive, reconcile, and restore your relationship with a confessed and repented spouse, would be going against God's advice.
You need to look at the situation through God's eyes. Not only does he want us forgive, reconcile, and restore our relationships, God loves your husband or wife even though they cheated. God wants to salvage what there is of their life and turn it into something useful for God's glory. If you choose to stay with your spouse, God has a much better chance of helping them grow spiritually. If you divorce/leave them or live with them with anger and bitterness for the remainder of your marriage or relationship, God will not be able to use you and your spouse for His kingdom and glory.
God told Hosea to marry a prostitute and keep taking her back after she cheated. God did this to demonstrate how God keeps loving us, even though we commit spiritual adultery by loving the things of the world.
If you forgive your spouse after cheating, God can use you to change them into a pure vessel. While it may seem they don't deserve it, your forgiveness will be a great testimony to them of God's love and your love. Jesus taught that if you forgive them, they will end up loving you more, because they have been forgiven for so much. So forgiving your spouse and realizing that God can use it to make you both have a better marriage or relationship in the long run is the way you may need to think about it.
So seek your answer through God and God only, pray for him to show you whether you should forgive your spouse and reconcile your relationship. You prayers will surely give you an answer, the one and only answer!
My Husband's Affair Became the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me
Brian (husband): After nearly two decades of marriage to a sexy, loving woman - with whom I made love almost every night - I came home from work one evening and told her I was moving out, leaving her for another woman. Lucky for me, my wife refused to give up on our marriage. We are now closer and more committed than ever. What you're probably wondering is, if I loved my wife so much, why did I do it? In this book, I have answered that question.
Anne (wife): My Husband's affair became the best thing that ever happened to me, yes eventually, but it was also the most devastating of my life. There was a time when I wondered if I could even live through it.

Why People Cheat
Have you been cheated on? Did you cheat on someone? Why did it happen?
Infidelity is common in many relationships and marriages but the reasons behind it may surprise you! Cheating is rarely about pure sexual attraction.

- My wife cheated on me 10 month ago. At first I was going to kill her and that man, but the Lord send a man to talk to me on the next day I found out. I found Jesus! Worst day of my life, turn out to the best day of my life. Now I am a misisonary in Thailand with my daugther. I forgive my daugther mother, I pray that she will find Christ. I also know that God will send some one to our life, we been praying for Christain family "Parents can provide their sons with an inheritance of houses and wealth, but only the Lord can give an understanding wife." Proverbs 19:14 God is great! and I have faith in Him...He will take care of us.

- My husband cheated on me with the mother of his 2 children. I miscarried, and have not been able to fullfill sexual needs due to medical problems since I lost our child. He turned to her when he could not get it at home, but this has been her intention since we got together. We have been married for only 10 months, but together for 4 years, and she has been psychotic since day 1. She has made it her job to ruin our marriage and relationship with everything she does. She has no problem with even hurting her children, putting them in the middle, telling them their Dad doesn't love them (because he doesn't love her), and the list goes on! If someone doesn't even put their children's feelings in front of their own, i can never expect her to respect mine or my husbands. But, all of this is what makes forgiving him SOOOO hard! She has made his life a living hell, tries to turn his kids against him, make them think he doesn't want them, tear our relationship apart, and made a complete joke about me losing our child in my 2nd trimester of my first pregnancy! She told me that God didn't feel I deserve to have kids, if I was a real woman then I could have carried him full term, etc... I can't seem to find a way to forgive my husband because it was with HER. I would have rather him paid a prostitute. How can I ever feel that he loves me, if he would risk our marriage for a piece of trash like this? We have a great relationship besides this, ever since we lost our son, things have just been shaky in certain categories, but now I feel like the time that I needed him the most, he turned his back on me, and went to the one person who has tried to ruin our lives, and made a joke out of my dead baby! A month after he was caught cheating, he was in a terrible car accident, which almost took his life, and I have had to take care of him day in and out for over 2 months! I wouldn't have it any other way since I am his wife, BUT I can't help but wonder if I am doing all the things a "good" wife should do, just for him to betray me again one day! I do feel this accident changed a lot of things for the better, and God couldn't have timed this lesson in life better, but I can't change how hurt I am that he chose her, with everything she has done! HEEEELPPP!

- Hon, you'd better stop worrying. If your hubby is with you, this means a lot - he really WANTS to be with you. And I think you realize that he went to his EX just for sex and that's it. There different kinds of cheating you know, the one that he did was physical. As long as you fulfil his sexual fantasies, he won't go anywhere. God bless you.

- I cheated on my boyfriend back in September.
I did things on cam with other guys for two weeks.
I got myself into trouble along the way, in which I got blackmailed,
I know it was some bad karma, I deserved it, I cried so much during that time,
I was scared and I was paranoid that my boyfriend would find out.
I kept telling myself that what I was doing on cam with guys wasn't wrong,
but no matter how much I did it, I felt guilty, it was wrong emotionally.
It was a stupid decision that I never really thought through because of
my high sexual desires. This is when he was barely online to talk to me and
I just needed attention and I searched in the wrong place and I just should've
let him know instead of doing something so stupid.
I'm in a long distance relationship with him and
we've never met, and it's been over a year now that we've been together.
Just recently I let him know about how I cheated on him,
today, the day before Christmas. I feel like a terrible person.
He forgave me, but I can't seem to forgive myself, this whole cheating on him
has really haunted me in the past 3 months, and I decided to tell him because
I really love him and I don't want to keep ANYTHING from him
But people say if you really love someone, why would you cheat on them in the first place?
Really gives me a lot of doubts and I tell myself that he deserves someone better,
he's been nothing but sweet, loyal, and faithful to me, anything he does, he tells me about it.
I've become two of the people that I hate the most, a cheater and a liar, but after what happened, I promised myself that I would never take it to another level, I would never
cheat in person. He's the first person I've had a healthy relationship with and that's the first time I ever cheated on anyone, and the worst I've done with cheating, which is do things on cam.
I feel so bad and I cry but it won't solve anything.
I found this website and it gives me a lot of faith and hope to continue my relationship with my boyfriend since he has forgiven me, although he has not forgotten about it, and he's bottling it up, but he is willing to work things out with me.
Neither of us are religious, but once again, I'm really thankful I ran into this website.
I wish you all a merry Christmas eve, and a happy new year.

- Yes, my husbad of almost three and a half years cheated on me. We are still together, it happened less than 2 months ago. It was with a 20 year old who lives down the street and hes 42, Im 29. It was the most hurtful and devastatig thing that has ever happened to me. Im trying hard to forgive him but I cant stop thinking about it. He lied to me so many times over and over again even after I found out. Im taking it 1 day at a time. He is trying. Im not sure if Im doing the right thing but everyday my feelings do heal a LITTLE bit, only a little. The only advice I can give is to take it to God and only seek advice from married folks, Christians or a couple who has been in the same situation. Go to Joyce Meyers tv and listen to her shows on forgiveness and take heed to what she tells you to do. God bless and take care.

- I have been married for 34 years and my husband cheated on me about 14 yrs ago, and we split,then after his lover did him the way he did me he starts calling wanting to talk,asking for forgiveness, I did forgive him after awhile and he promised to never do it again,and so far I don;t think he has,and by now I pretty much can tell the signs, but it is always in the back of my mind,and sometimes I feel like I am just not what he wants, but I have decided that if he does it again that is it,I am done because I just don;t think I could go through it again, it hurts to bad,and I don;t think I would ever believe anything he said again, when they cheat they are not just dishonoring the spouse they are dishonoring God,and God has helped me through alot he was there when my heart hurt so bad I didn;t think I would be able to go on,but I did he heard all my crying,and all my prayers, it is hard and it hurts,because God knows how I feel about this man,and adultry is the only way God will let you out of a marriage,and I hope it never comes down to that, but if it does I know I will still have someone to love and comfort me through it, anyone can e-mail me at Cata@blomand.net

- I just found out that my wife has cheated on me again for the second time since our marriage. we have only been married for eight months. First we ended up goin to a halloween party and she had sex with another guy while i was passed out drunk. It took her about two weeks to confess to me and i forgave her and we moved on. I just found out yesterday that she had cheated on me again with her highschool sweetheart he came over while i was at work i work third shift and they ended up having sex in our bed. I am at my wicks end i dont know what to do anymore we have a one year old daughter together. Part of me wants to forgive and just move on, on the other had some feelings of anger and betrayal make me want to just leave and get a divorce. I feel like shes not attracted to me anymore and that she would rather be with other men. Her dad passed away back in september and he did the same things when she was growing up to her mother. I love her but is it worth all this pain. Please somebody i need advice.

- I think that you guys should really get some counseling. If you dont I doubt you will ever be able to come up with the reason for her premiscuous behavior. Its not you that needs to change, its her. Also know one thing I have two kids by my sons father and I thought that I would never get over him (high school sweetheart, 8 years) now I dont even think about him even a lil bit. Think about your health and I dont emotional, she could give you a disease.If you havent found God, you should.

- yes, been cheated on by sherry seston and thomas dichristina, they have not asked for any type of forgiveness and it destroyed my family, included two little boys. One month before the cheating, she said how she was taking me too much for granted and with me :she has nothing to complain about", then cheated big time thru our 12th year wed anniversary and my Bday, Fathers Day, leaving me and the two little boys. This after we just finished going thru a major cancer scare, and that guy comes along and hijacks my life. It is a felony in this state, but no one cares.
