Do the expectations of being a Christian wife to a sexual addict or an adulterer feel impossible to live up to? Maybe it’s because you have inadvertently taken your definition of a godly wife from the wrong source.

In this episode of the Hope for Spouses’ Lunchtime Live, Kim Pullen will expose the fantasy wife and how even the church has been complicit in creating this unattainable role. She’ll also talk about what a faithful wife is biblically, and how you can personally use the scriptures to redefine your role in a marriage broken by sexual sin.
