A Journal of GOD'S Intimate Love in Marriage to an Unfaithful Spouse Arlene Adams

As a teenager my husband was sexually abused by our pastor for years. This caused him to have a lot of anger and commit adultery. Our son, Dennis, because of his father's sin became troubled with evil spirits, tormenting him day and night for many years. Many spouses divorce their husbands and wives when they commit adultery to punish them. God does the punishing. My husband had bladder and prostate cancer. Now he has a lot of pain and a urine bag hanging on his body. In 1984 I started to spend a lot of time praying for the Lord's help in our marriage, because the bible mentions divorce is wrong, Matthew 5:31-32, Mark 10:8-12. This caused me to have a beautiful relationship with the Lord. He said "spouses can fail you, but you can be complete in me." In 2004, the Lord asked me to put my journals I wrote for 20 years in a book, in order to save other marriages, many spouses are hurt because they had a bad childhood. We must have patience and sped time with the Lord for them. The bible says we should even love our enemies, how much more our spouses, Matthew 5:44. We should forgive them 70 times 7, Matthew 18:22. It also says, I am jealous over you with Godly jealousy, for I have exposed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ, 2 Corinthians 11:2. Arlene Adams was inspired by the Lord to put together this book from her 20 years worth of journals about her and her husband's suffering and reconciliation over his adultery. Coming from a very spiritual family, Arlene turned to Him in her time of need and was given the comfort she needed to help her husband and their marriage move forward.
