When my wife had her affair almost 4 years ago now, I went to our church, where we were both members for help. I really didn't get any effective help.
What astonished me was that there were efforts to lobby regarding same sex marriage, but little if anything being done to help marriages in crisis.
I'm a conservative Christian, believe in the virgin born Christ as the son of God, sacrificed to atone for the sins of mankind, so I'm no fan of same sex marriage.
However, I am more concerned with the divorce rate in the church and the lack of effective help in the church.
When I asked the church for help, for mentors to work on my faults, no help was provided. When I asked for members to approach my now ex-wife, to see what it would take to encourage her to end the affair and to provide a safe environment for both of us to work on the very real issues of our marriage, they declined to get involved.
Shouldn't the church be focusing on the crisis in the church, regarding divorce first?
