ak Louder Than Words I

was 18 when I came to faith in

Christ. At the age of 20, I was in full time ministry. I married a pastor at 22 and at almost 29 was sitting across from him while he told he wanted a divorce. After years of verbal, emotional and spiritual abuse, my husband had decided to present me with a question which he knew would result in "no" for an answer;

“would I allow him to have a mistress and still remain married to me?� He was a porn addict and had long since left the ministry. His question was the catalyst of what the next 3 years of my life would look like. And while I wholly own my part in this, addiction, impulsive behavior and brokenness had ruled him while I allowed fear and building anger to rule mine. Together, we were the walking wounded.
