If you've ever been cheated on by your spouse, then maybe
you should read this. Tina Campbell, the other half of gospel group Mary Mary
opened up to Ebony magazine June issue about infidelity in her marriage; how
her husband of 13 years had an affair for two years; how she first wanted to
harm him and divorce him, then learning to forgive and working things out.
Tina on discovering her husband was having an affair:
“Once I became
aware [of the affair], I initially wanted to kill my husband…I was considering
adjusting the will, the living trust and all that kind of stuff. I did
physically try to stab him. Several times…I never got to the point of physical
harm, not really, but my words…My words hurt. ”
A few days after the online publication, Tina posted a
message to her fans on her website asking for prayers. See it after the cut...
Hi fans and
friends. It’s Tina. I hope all of you are well and I thank you for all the love
and support you’ve shown my sister and I over the years.
Well, I'm actually
writing you on behalf of my husband Teddy and I. I’m assuming that many of you
have seen or heard about our article in Ebony that discussed the challenges of
overcoming infidelity in our marriage. Well since the article, the challenges
have worsened. My hope turned into hopelessness & despair and I became
unwilling to forgive and fight, until God showed me myself.
My husband’s struggle
was with sexual immorality BUT I have struggled with anger, rage,
unforgiveness, pride, just to name a few, for over 2 decades. The devil wanted
to use strongholds that took hold of our lives in our childhood, to remain and
destroy us as adults. So now instead of being mad at each other we’re mad at
the devil and we’re ready to fight.
Today we began a
30 day fast (May 24th-June 22nd) for complete deliverance & restoration. If
u are able to, please fast and/or pray daily that God would answer our prayers
and give us a deeper love & commitment to him and to each other. We believe
he still works miracles and he can give us the greatest marriage we could have
ever imagined. We can pray alone BUT your prayers will certainly help.
Some Scriptures To
Target Your Prayer
2 Chronicles 7:14
“If my people,
which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my
face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
James 5:16
“Therefore,
confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be
healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.”
Thanks in advance.
Talk to you in 30 days.
Tina
Tina and Teddy got married in 2000 and have four children
together.
