Proven Wives: A Roadmap for Restoration

For best pricing please go to www.provenmen.orgThis study is long overdue. I have sat across from countless women who have been hurt by the revelation that their husband, fiancé or boyfriend is trapped in sexual sin. I have watched the tears fall as they explain the pain and frustration they are experiencing. Every woman’s story is unique, but the feelings are so often the same. It’s natural to question love, to feel the insecurity, to doubt, and to be angry. This study was birthed from the angst of the stories I’ve heard; stories like yours, stories like mine. On a cold Sunday morning, my husband admitted to having a decade-long struggle with pornography. My world was shattered, and I didn’t know where to turn. If I confided in a friend, I felt that I would be throwing my husband “under the bus.” I certainly couldn’t tell my parents. Where could I go to seek relief for my aching heart? Eventually, I learned the hard way that no one except Jesus Christ would be able to help restore my broken heart and resurrect our marriage. I searched His Word for answers, for His perspective and His heart about my situation. God was gracious in renewing my hope and joy through years of personal Bible study. Through the process, I was finally able to say that my husband’s admission to his addiction was one of the best things that ever happened to our marriage. This study is a culmination of the truths God impressed on my heart as I sought Him, as well as wisdom I received from other godly individuals. These godly resources include three different professional counselors, other wives who understood my struggle and pain, pastors, and many books written by godly men and women. Woven in the following pages you will read personal stories of others who have walked through this journey. My deepest gratitude goes out to each one of these individuals. Without them, my marriage would not be where it is today, and this study would never have been written. Read more
