Overcoming the Obstacles of Infidelity (Part 1) - Dr. Bob & Dr. Audrey Meisner

[@thomasbranham4374]

Sin will take you farther than you want to go, cost you more than you want to pay, and keep you longer than you want to stay

Yes, but will go so far as one allows it.

[@chrystiafreelandscankles548]

Oh wow. 5 minutes in and i’m already exhausted by this woman. ‘This Audrey’ this, ‘That Audrey’ that... Basically shifting blame onto her hurt, inner child. I cheated on my ex. There is no excuse. The only way forward is complete humility and acknowledgement. You are NOT the victim here. ICK.

[@JunaidKabir]

You spoke my mind. That lady got way too much attention than she deserves. I found her lack of guilt and empathy for her betrayed husband very disturbing. 😒

[@donnajoseph3565]

I just want you all to know that as a single divorced woman. Your podcast is helping me with my divorce and just in dealing with feelings I have had and how to communicate better to anyone. Thank you!

[@focusonthefamily]

It means so much to hear that, Donna. Thank you for letting us know. If there's any way we can come alongside you personally, don't hesitate to call us at 800-A-FAMILY (800-232-6459). God bless you!

Listened to this story in the first year of our marriage where we struggled so much we were over the brink, and now in the year of our tenth year Anniversary, where we find ourselves on the brink again. Thank you to this couple for enduring the pain of retelling te story to encourage married folks like me in this season

That woman is a clear narcissist…you have just been fooled by the victim play….I wonder though why you decided to reply a statement I said about the story, with which you had nothing to do, with a personal attack…perhaps that describes you as a person…no wonder you are pining over such a disgusting story…your comment sickens me more

Thank you for sharing the great things and the pitfalls of marriage. It's the human side that gets in and you find no matter how Christian people are...we still have our humanity where we choose to do things that we probably said or thought we'd never do. We are all susceptible!! Thank you for putting yourselves out there

[@tigerpaw9261]

I admire both of you for sharing your story. It’s inspire to all men of Bob’s decision to keep his family.

[@winnowmethis9501]

Keep your family be becoming the tail. Nonsense.

[@joannawert3095]

She talks about how loving she is; how naturally it comes for her and then goes on to do the most unloving thing possible, the most selfish thing one can do. Then she is so self centered she only talks about her pain, which she deserved. He, on the other hand, has tears in his eyes as he shares from his humble heart. He is the hero of the story here.

[@winnowmethis9501]

He's been emasculated. I am a Christian woman. I have seen so much abuse by women towards their husbands who are Christians. These two are blind guides. They have tilled the soil to plant seeds of B.S.! Yup, I am not happy with my friend. And this couple has a part to play in it! They sicken me.

[@SAR-zx2dd]

So grateful for this couple’s testimony. Thank you for the hope it brings to struggling marriages

[@kayredeemed116]

Heard their story on a different show via KZbin , and it is powerful and is painful. Sin is real. GOD's goodness is shown.

[@SusanSummer]

What a true man this husband is.

[@freedomfighter2017]

Thanks for this program and appreciate Bob n Audrey’s honesty and truth. What’s sad is the stone casters below in the comments that have absolutely no clue who they are and what they went through. Try shutting it and seek some humility and compassion! 😊

[@Bolter024]

I know right, my marriage went through a similar ordeal

[@shellygee137]

"This is not me..!" Then who was that married woman in the bed with another man? We ALL fall short, we ALL do disastrous acts, and we are ALL sinners. The Bible says, " that our hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked. Who can know it?" Yes, it was you. I pray one day that you own your choices.

[@fortuneiriogbe9447]

Thank you Jesus and thank you Focus on the family, you are truly helping families around the world.

[@gabejm8617]

I am sorry in advance for what I am going to express here , and with all do respect. We men are simple, task oriented, even Christian men in ministry, however I feel that now a days , nurturing a relationship with a wife is like waking up every morning , find a nuclear bomb and deactivate it before sunset. Really, a Christian woman should know better than establishing any kind of bond with anybody but her husband.

[@laurarahz12]

Love this couple, heard their story years ago on family life today, it’s so powerful!

[@Bolter024]

After a similar situation with my own wife i happened to stumble into this story, looking for marriage advice vids its so moving, i think i'll do what he did

[@electric5hadow]

I love half this couple.

[@Lambdamale.]

@@Bolter024 I think there are better resources than these two. I read their book over 10 years ago (I believe it was)) . I never got from their book that she was sorry. She still sounds like an attention seeker. Her new fix is to go out and share her story constantly.

[@Bolter024]

@@Lambdamale. Ah ok

[@siz4sean]

Isn't it cute that after a cheater is busted and taken to task, the cheated on husband gets promoted to "The best husband and most wonderful man alive...." when literally 15 minutes earlier, her boyfriend was digging her guts out?

[@jeffangelo5447]

Please take a moment and pray for Jeff and Shay to be reconciled in marriage. Thank you.

It seems like Audrey is making a lot of lame excuses for herself. Amasing how Bob responded, of course w Gods Help !! Thk G that they stayed together.....saved their fam....PTL!!!!! So thankful you two stayed together .....so so GOOD!!!! PTL for this family!

[@florencemutesasira5846]

Audrey needs to stop talking and listen more.

[@mareshalite]

Yep 😁.. noted haha hahahaha 😂

[@joannecaradonna6877]

Agreed but I imagine that she's quite nervous sharing such a shameful part of her life and some of us talk too much when we're nervous.

[@revahart]

[@revahart]

She keep acknowledging the pain and they are blowing past it

[@JudeKnowsWhatYouDoNot]

Trying to make herself look like a victim

[@maxcorder2211]

She didn’t get “what she need” from her husband. Then, she got it elsewhere. Then the truth came out. Where is “the other Audrey” now?

[@Yemi927]

I really do hope that this man has totally forgiven her and she herself. 1) he doesn't really look at her. He seems still angry, but maybe I overthink stuff and 2) Audrey seems to feel so guilty and wants to talk so much and make people see exactly what has happened, almost like, dont judge me please. This is such a sad story. Sounds exactly like mine...

[@Yemi927]

My husband always focuses on the truth, and he would tell you it doesn't matter how I say it. Just listen to what I say. He didn't compliment me.... pls people don't commit adultery... I am the unfaithful woman, and I hate myself for it!.... its a very selfish act . Try everything, talk to your spouse... talk to a counsellor.... look for help in the marriage. I wish I did. I tried to talk to my spouse, but not in the right way.

[@Yemi927]

Now we are in so much pain.... that I never ever thought I could cause.

[@randomguy5704]

Years ago, I dumped my fiancé when I caught her cheating. Best decision I ever made. Having said that, I do appreciate their honesty and vulnerability.

[@JudeKnowsWhatYouDoNot]

Can’t you people see how sickening this is?? Anyone who thinks this is ok has a serious morality problem…this woman is clearly an evil narcissist

[@JunaidKabir]

Couldn't agree more. It's mind-boggling how she grabbed the center stage and played victim since the very beginning.

[@edsonivana]

I do not understand why do you have to go through this issue over and over again. Does it don't hurt you and your husband?

[@melindawhite347]

yeah I don’t get that either. isn’t it just a continuous reminder of what’s already been forgiven? seems weird to me

[@Lambdamale.]

She said she was craving attention when she had the affair. Now she's getting attention from speaking engagements. Its in her interest to keep this going. Clearly, this issue hurts her husband more than her. He still looks genuinely broken over it, but she sounds like she has refined her presentation and is enjoying herself.

[@Christina-rb8vk]

It is called money.. .keep the income flowing in

[@rowenab1475]

Because it is not about them but about God’s miraculous work in their lives . No amount of money can pay for the pain of talking about our failures as humans. We talk about difficult issues of our past to bring hope and encouragement to others .

[@UHeardMe1stTime]

She sure talks a lot.

[@Lambdamale.]

I read their book years ago. I never got from his wife that she was truly sorry. Just excuses. I was disappointed. Edit..Off topic, but wow he looks like John Malkovich!

[@lancsideconstructioncoachi1533]

Sounds like him too.

[@Lambdamale.]

@@lancsideconstructioncoachi1533 Honestly. I feel like every time these two get on the air, he is dragged right back into the mire. She talks incessantly and he inevitably begins to break down and cry about it. It's either all a big act (it was what? 20 years ago) OR he is still incredibly torn up about it, and he needs to tell his wife to be quiet a bit.

[@hariharankarthikeyan3604]

She is narcissistic person. She is clearly talking a lot and not acting on it and making her a victim. It's a psychology. Poor husband. Forgiveness is a positive and a great negative factor in Christianity when it comes to sin.

[@SusanSummer]

Stop showing pride in the things you should show humility

[@lindsay3044]

It sounds like the affair could have possibly been avoided completely if they understood and spoke each other's love languages.

[@danilaroche1156]

It's not about love languages. It's about knowing how cunning, subtle and relentless the enemy is. It's spiritual. Ephesians 6.

[@Laura.templeton]

I don't like that in a way she tries to justify herself. As if she likes to be a protagonist.

[@JustJada98]

It’s a huge red flag to me how she is distancing herself from her own actions. She uses phrases like “I would have never imagined this would have happened TO me” and “…the other Audrey…”. It casts a shadow of victim over her for own sinful choices. The Bible says words flow from our heart.

[@curryodom8976]

I think she enjoyed the whole affair. She made the choice to sleep with this dude and let him impregnate her. I think she plays the whole christian thing and now she gets away with having an affair, not showing much remorse. I would have to cut her loose. She has an excuse for everything. She will open that door again

[@phillipjoy4820]

Why did they run the father of the baby out of town? Bob and Audrey should have wanted him to be in his son's life.

[@quinoasongs2507]

they did that before she knew she was pregnant. I'm sure he found out some way, but we'll never know. Robert is now an adult, and he has the right to look up his bio-dad. We won't know what he actually did or plans to do, though. Unless he comes out with it himself
