#103: Should We Demand Justice or Show Mercy in the Wake of Betrayal?

Update: 2022-02-16

Description

Are you tempted to rage at your unfaithful partner because of the injustice you feel at being betrayed or do you swing to the other extreme and feel compelled to turn a blind eye to their betrayal no matter how much it hurts you or damages your marriage?

In this episode of the Hope for Spouses Lunchtime Live, Kim Pullen talks about the challenges of balancing justice and mercy after a marriage has been shattered by infidelity or sexual addiction. She examines how Jesus perfectly represented God’s character when confronting both a repentant and unrepentant sinner, and she shows how we can do the same with our spouse. Kim also addresses how the biblical ordering of our relationship with God and our spouse directly impacts the balance of justice and mercy in our marriage.
