Introduction

In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo tackle some seriously difficult issues that can rear their ugly heads in marriages. And, as usual, Jo and Andy share their own experiences to encourage and support us in celebrating marriages in spite of these unattractive problems and help us find a healthy way to grow our marriages.

Jo highlights the fact that we can and will hurt the ones we love and how we need to be understanding and forgiving and Andy reminds us of what love is as described in 1Corinthians 13, noting that we should not keep records of wrongs!

It’s a hard-hitting stuff which was inspired by Hosea 3 which describes a challenging marriage involving adultery and prostitution and God calls the husband to take his wife back. Have a read for yourself and maybe read Hosea 3 and some chapters before and after to help you prepare for this episode – You can’t say we didn’t warn you!

The Take Away

Jo – “Marriages can face some really tough issues and we need to get help and pray!”

Andy – “Listen to the pain not the words. God forgave us, and He forgivers us with the measure that we forgive others – a sobering thought!”
