How long have you been waiting for your unfaithful or sexual addicted spouse to change? Does it feel like you constantly get your hopes up only to have them dashed? Are you repeated asking yourself (and God), “Why is this taking so long?”

In this episode of the Hope for Spouses’ Lunchtime Live, Kim Pullen addresses why recovery of our unfaithful spouse (and ourselves) takes so much longer than we want it to, the factors that impact recovery time, and how a betrayed spouse can develop reasonable and healthy expectations to either patiently wait for the long haul or make the choice to separate or divorce.
