The Moment He Crossed a Line
This moment could have led to their divorce.
Instead, they chose to fight for one another — and heal.
Backstory
It’s conference season. You’re traveling — a few work partners, back-to-back meetings, and long days.
One Old Fashioned turns into four.
And on the ride back, you end up in an Uber with the lone female on the trip.
She gives you attention.
And in a weak moment, you cross a line — your hand on her inner thigh.
Thank God, that’s where it ended.
But when your wife asked about the trip, that single moment created a canyon in your marriage.
You carried the weight.
You replayed it in your mind.
Until one day, you finally told the truth.
That was the hardest step.
Now comes the work of healing.
Healing Doesn’t Come by Willpower
Healing comes through forgiveness — through bringing Jesus into the hurt and wounded places of your life.
It’s not about pretending it didn’t happen.
It’s about letting grace rewrite the story.
If You’re a Traveling Executive Who Wants to Protect Your Marriage
Honor your wife.
Build safeguards so you’re never alone in a compromising situation with someone else. Be proactive, not reactive.
Guard your heart.
Speak truth in real time:
“I miss you. I need you. I feel vulnerable.”
Honesty breaks the power of temptation.
Choose differently with drinks.
Opt for non-alcoholic options when traveling.
Ask yourself: Why do I need to cope with alcohol in the first place?
Brother, the Canyon Can Be Closed
The best marriage is not behind you — it’s ahead of you.
When you choose radical integrity, it opens the path to deeper intimacy.
You don’t have to carry the weight alone.
Jesus can meet you in that space — and bring restoration to both your heart and your home.
