How Can I Respect My Husband Who Is Having An Affair?

Emerson addresses the challenging question of how a wife can respect her husband who is engaged in an affair. He emphasizes the importance of respectfully confronting unacceptable behavior while maintaining dignity and love. He advises against showing contempt, highlighting the toxic nature of such attitudes. Emerson suggests that through respectful behavior, a wife can potentially influence her husband's heart, as seen in 1st Peter's. Ultimately, he stresses the need for boundaries and self-care, all while acknowledging the faith journey involved.
