My Hero: Healing From Wounds of a Fatherනියැදිය

Day 14 - Infidelity

We often think about infidelity and its devastating effects on a married couple. It also has major ripple effects on the kids.

When a marriage is broken due to infidelity, kids feel rejection too. They also go through tons of confusion and mixed emotions. If the kids are old enough to understand, it can make them lose respect for and be angry with their dads.

Worst of all it causes them to choose sides between their mother and father. The kids still love their dads but don’t know how to react when he is in the wrong. Especially when they see their mother’s pain.

Even though he was a man after God’s heart, King David still made his share of mistakes. He had an affair and had the guy killed whose wife he stole. This broke God’s heart and had a devastating ripple effect on David’s family. David had to reap the consequences of his actions for years to come.

It is a very serious thing when fathers break the marriage vows they made before the Lord.
