My Marriage Secret Samantha Fortner

Samantha was struggling with the pain of spousal abandonment for eight years. With her personal experience, Samantha shares how some of her life was during her separation, and having the will to forgive her husband. He had walked out for another woman. Samantha fought for her marriage, and kept her faith in God. With getting over bitterness, and the ability to get on with her life, she had to forgive him, and let God take care of the rest. Samantha felt like she was living the life of Hosea when he waited for Gomer to come back home and he forgave her with a Christ like love. The pain of betrayal she felt was so devastating. Samantha asked her husband, "Why didn't you just stab me in the heart with a knife?" She couldn't eat, and most of the time, she would put herself to sleep to avoid the pain! Trying to cope with all of this and keep a full time job was very overwhelming! What happened to the man I married? Was it me? Did I do something wrong?
