Can a marriage really survive infidelity?

Not the polished church answer.

Not the “just pray about it” response. The real answer.

In this powerful episode of Sex-Ed for Saints, I sit down with licensed couples sex therapist and relationship coach Cheri Timko of Synergy Couples Coaching to unpack the reality of betrayal in marriage.

We talk about:

• Why infidelity happens

• The emotional and sexual impact of betrayal

• What betrayal trauma actually looks like

• Whether reconciliation is possible

• What rebuilding trust truly requires

• How intimacy can be restored after cheating

• And when it may be time to let go

Friend, this conversation is honest, compassionate, and practical. If you have experienced cheating in your marriage, are trying to prevent it, or are walking alongside someone who is hurting, this episode gives language to what many couples silently struggle with. Proverbs 4:23 NIV reminds us, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

When trust is broken, the heart feels exposed. But healing is not impossible. It requires accountability, humility, and intentional rebuilding. God did not design marriage for silent endurance. He designed it for intimacy, safety, and oneness.
