Family in Trouble

Well I found out the other day that some friends, well family of my wife and I, are going through some rough times with their marriage, and that's kinda putting it lightly. I was never told that marriage was an easy thing, my wife an I have have our ups and downs as well as everyone else has, but you have to work hard to keep it all together, believe me the work is worth the results our life has been great together and gets better every day that goes by we have made a concerted effort to keep our marriage strong, and God has played a large part in keeping our marriage together. The situation our friends find themselves in(while I wont go into details) is extremely unfortunate. The family has made great strides towards getting their life on the right path and then a huge stumbling block gets in their way, adultery has reared it's ugly head once again and may have ruined two peoples lives together I hurt for them deeply. Satin has his way of stopping you when you try to do whats right, there are trials in our path every day, but we must be able to resist the temptations of this world. You look around and see all the things of the world and thing how great they are, but realize this it only lasts for a season, what God can give you lasts for eternity, a life of sin gets you eternal damnation, that rarely deters people anymore, because they have no fear of God which is a huge miscalculation on their part. I have no idea how someone can hurt another person in this way I have no desire to break my wedding vows and can not fathom why someone would forsake their spouse an bring someone else into their lives. That is why adultery is the only reason given in the bible that legitimizes divorce because it is so devastating to a family and to a couples relationship. Many times there is no way to recover from this misstep and families fall apart, I hope and pray that these people what ever their decision is no matter whether they stay together or not that they continue to try and get their lives right with the Lord and that they might find it in their hearts to forgive each other, not necessarily to stay together, but to at least get along well enough for the kids to not be caught in the middle of a continual fight between Mom and Dad. Times will be tough no matter what your decisions will be, so look to God to help you get through it He is always their for you no matter what you may have done he is there ready to forgive you or help you through the pain of betrayal. May God Bless and Keep you in these times of trouble.
