The effects are devastating because it rips not only the bond between husband and wife but the family as a whole. How do you heal after betrayal? In "Purpose in my Pain, A husband's journey of love, affliction, healing, and restoration," Dominic speaks about his journey of being married to a woman who was repeatedly unfaithful during their marriage.

What do you do when you want to fight for your marriage? How do you move forward when the trust in your marriage has been broken? The recovery won't be easy, but it is always worth fighting for when you love your spouse. Purpose in my Pain will give you perspective on seeking God in your marriage as you navigate different trials and tribulations. Dominic's story teaches you how to be patient and trust in God no matter the circumstances in life.

Sam, a young opinionated woman who was pregnant, left St. Louis to work in a small town in Wyoming. Sam stepped down the steps of the stagecoach from Casper, Wyoming. "I am here!" she shouted to no one in particular. Her stomach did flip-flops as she put her hands on her hips and feet firmly on the ground. I'm so excited I think my heart will burst. --She smiled as a cowboy tipped his hat to herOne morning, she thought, I don't want to get out of bed. My stomach is rolling. Maybe if I put my hands on it, that will keep it from moving. Sam looked at her stomach and could see rolling on one side then another. The movement was disconcerting to her. Then she remembered she had read in her baby book about when the baby starts to move. Wow! My stomach. This is exciting, the baby is moving inside of me.

I'm keeping my food down so I'm okay even though I'm getting fatter. I better keep wearing my full-skirted dresses, so no one will know.
