Approaching a spouse about an affair

Doug shares advice with a listener who just found out his wife is having an affair. He talks about how difficult the first conversation will be, but that through prayer and professional help, the marriage can still be saved.

Doug shares a story by Alice Von Hildebrand from her book By Love Refined. In this letter, Alice discusses table manners with her friend who is distraught over her husband’s eating habits. Alice talks about the differences between men and women and how these differences give us the opportunity for compromise. Happiness depends on recognizing the differences and adapting to show our love for one another.
