- Someone commits adultery and then ask God for forgiveness after repenting for what they have done. However, they do not tell their spouse about the incident. Is this true repentance? Unfortunately, this hypothetical question is a painful reality for some couples.
This week, I take a deep dive into adultery, marriage, and true repentance.

He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.
I was having severe health issues for years until he finally told the truth. Now my health is better. It felt like I was cursed living in his lies.
It makes sense
Same
This is me. I was healthy before getting married. I was even put in a special member class by my health insurance after a health exam showed I was in perfect health. After just one year of marriage, everything began falling apart from the stress and his lies. Nine years later, should I numerate my health issues? I have a heart issue from stress, i lost my hearing from stress, i developed diabetes from hormonal problems due to stress, I'm losing my ability to remember and learn which is leading to dementia and it's due to stress.
What kind of health issues?
Your partner needs to know. If you don't tell them you have not repented.
I disagree
@@strawberriesblueberries2258 I agree. It's taking your own pain and transferring it to someone else who doesn't deserve it. You need to live with the pain of what you’ve done
I AGREE, she denies all, with 2 separate partners, possibly 4 more! She refuses polygraph, so once all 4 kids are over 18, I’m gonna sit her down and ask her all the tuff questions in front of them! I think she will break down 😢, you might be able to lie to your husband and beg for forgiveness, but then lying to your 4 babies too!? Yeah, nahhh… she’ll be cooked!😅
You have to tell them the truth.
Thankyou for this very good video. 😊
Good work. God bless you
😊Not only that I had a friend tell me how people trick their partners into confessing (“Girl, that’s the oldest truck in the book”) to divorce them later …. That gives them the biblical excuse to divorce but no one talks about this trickery …
The real trickery is your adultery.
ABSOLUTELY and thank-you…
I told my spouse after he promised I can tell him anything and I love you…. I confessed and he divorced me…. I repented to God and my husband but later after he divorced me and admitted he played a part in it. I read in book of Jeremiah “ Not to trust man just trust God”…. I would’ve never told him and left it in Gods hand instead… I will always regret it …..Later studying on UA-cam I discovered he’s a covert narcissist and I was suffering from his abuse for him to confess he played a part in it …
Don't fall for that Narcissist bullcrap. Its victimizing yourself. Just be accountable.
when you get married for better for worse so when someone cheats i would think it would go under worse- death do us part. but most all go for the divorce
Sounds like you are still trying to blame that man for what you did. That's narcissistic. Take accountability and stop blaming others. He may have forgave you but that does not mean he wants to stay with you. Take accountability and do better next time. That's it.
He played a part in what?
He admitted fault, therefore he's not a narcissist. Maybe an a-hole or neglectful or even abusive, but not a narcissist.
What if they are separated, living separate for several years - does the other spouse still need to be told ?
Why stay in a separated state for that long? Amd yes. You need to be honest.
I'm not disagreeing but How many wives did Jacob have?
Description NOT prescription
You do realize that's a story about why polygamy is bad, right? 😂
What if you aren't married yet?
Then you aren’t in covenant, it’s not adultery
So no…
"What if you aren't married *yet*?"
Does your future spouse deserve to know? Yes
He/she should be given the opportunity to decide if they want to move forward with a lifelong commitment to you having absolute knowledge of the truth. Giving him/her that respect may very likely end the betrothal. However, not confessing for your own personal gain is selfish and deceitful. It WILL negatively impact your partnership and most likely will come out at some point anyway. Better sooner than later. If you genuinely love this person and are committed to being a Godly spouse then repent and live your life accordingly. If you don't, get out of the way of the spouse God has set aside for them to be loved, honored, cherished and protected by. True love is selfless. Secrecy is self centered and self serving.
Then it's the sin of fornication and not adultery. All sex outside of marriage is the sin of fornication.
Any sex outside of marriage is adultery, even if that person is your future spouse.
