I recently decided to give my life back to Christ earlier this year, after alot of problems arose in my marriage. On New Year's Eve, while I was away at work, I discovered my wife lied to me about her whereabouts. Later that night, I was able to get a hold of her and she confessed she was visiting a male friend, but that there was nothing more to it than that. Just yesterday (father's day), she finally confessed what I felt in my heart all along- she had slept with him that night. At first I was angry and wanted nothing to do with her, but the Holy Spirit touched my heart and she did seem very ashamed and full of guilt while telling me, and told me to forgive her. At this point, I forgive her but have no idea if I can go on trusting her, and I know that I am within full right of God's law to divorce her, but I know he wants to avoid divorce at all cost. Since everything has happened she has made a good effort to be a better wife, but lied to me for over 6 months and held the fact that she slept with him that night and promised nothing happened. Now that I know the truth, it hurts that she can lie to me and I feel broken, I really need advice on what steps I need to take to make this marriage work, she has repented for her sins and has not continued communication with him. I am really confused, but I know I love her, but don't know if I can ever trust her again!
